The site plan of Emerald of Katong is designed to provide a luxurious living environment for its residents while optimizing space. The development of approximately 840 residential units is set to redefine luxury living in District 15. The site occupies an almost rectangular land parcel along Jalan Tembusu, set in from Haig Road to the east and Tanjong Katong Road to the west.

Under the URA Master Plan, the plot is zoned for residential use, with a 3.5 plot ratio. The vehicular access to the site is via Jalan Tembusu, on the northern boundary of the parcel. The site is mainly surrounded by private housing, and away from major roads, making it a quiet place to live.

The site plan boasts a meticulously crafted design that optimizes space and creates a harmonious living environment for its residents. The amenities include a swimming pool, sky gym, BBQ pits, tennis court, and playground. The development also features a lush greenery landscape that promotes a healthy and sustainable living environment.

The views to the east and west are sweeping and unblocked. On the east is state land, upon which sits some rows of old terrace houses. These are currently rented out, so nobody knows if, and when, this site might be redeveloped. However, these houses were recently refurbished, so it could be some time yet. Beyond that, across Haig Road, there is a low-rise landed housing estate sprawling all the way to Telok Kurau.

On the west of the site, there is a small piece of land zoned for medicare and a park. Both are low-rise too. Beyond that is Tanjong Katong Road and the Mountbatten landed housing estate, that stretches to Kallang. These areas should remain low-rise indefinitely, allowing for unblocked views of the Sports Hub and the CBD skyline. It also allows for wind flows through the site, making it a comfortable place to live.
