All residential blocks are arranged in a linear configuration with facilities such as the 50m lap pool concentrated in the middle of the project. All units in Tembusu Grand are either north or south-facing. Since all the units here come with a balcony, internal-facing units will get a nice pool view.

Units facing outwards on the other end of the development are faced with unblocked views of low-rise residential blocks and commercial shops on the first floor.Tembusu Grand will be strategically positioned near upcoming developments around Kallang River. The Kallang Industrial Estate will be transformed into a mixed-use precinct along the waterfront with increased connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists. Additionally, the residents can look forward to the rejuvenation of both the Old Kallang Airport and Kampong Bugis. The Kallang sports and entertainment hub which is a short eight-minutes' drive away will also undergo upgrades to make way for new developments such as the Kallang Football Hub, Singapore Tennis Centre, Youth Hub and Velodrome as well as several park spaces along the waterfront. With these developments in place, the residents will be able to enjoy a myriad of facilities and amenities in future. The completion of the TEL by 2024, will unlock new MRT stations at Katong Park, Tanjong Katong, Marine Parade, and Marine Terrace. This will significantly increase the connectivity of the area which would in turn boost capital appreciation of properties such as Tembusu Grand in the area. Additionally, the Paya Lebar Central precinct not too far away is one of the nine shortlisted precincts under the Urban Redevelopment Authority's pilot Business Improvement District (BID) programme. This will introduce new commercial developments to revitalise the city and increase employment opportunities in the area so the residents can look forward to more employment opportunities closer to home. Furthermore, the planned relocation of Paya Lebar Airbase in the 2030s will free up a land area five times of Toa Payoh to make way for a commercial hub with jobs and amenities. In time to come, this can potentially drive up rental demands for housing in nearby neighbourhoods so homeowners at Tembusu Grand can enjoy increased rental yields in the future.The Tembusu Grand site was sold to CDL and MCL Land with its top bid of $768 million, which works out to $1,302 per sq ft per plot ratio (psf ppr). Tembusu Grand's high number of units available in a mix of 1 to 5-Bedroom configurations caters to a wide range of buyers and investors with varying lifestyle needs. This translates to a wider resale target pool ranging from young couples to large families in the future. Furthermore, the last new private project launch of the same size in the area was Haig Court in 2004. Tembusu Grand could thus meet increased demand for sizeable private housing units in the area given the pent-up demand since 2004. D15 has always been a highly sought-after area amongst property seekers. Tembusu Grand is a development worth considering given its proximity to reputable schools and its well-connected public transport network coupled with Katong's rich heritage.
