Vela Bay proudly stands as the first private residential development to rise within the newly master-planned New Bayshore Precinct — a transformative 60-hectare waterfront district poised to redefine East Coast living in Singapore. Strategically positioned at the western gateway of this precinct, Vela Bay occupies a prime address bounded by Bayshore Road, Bayshore Drive, and the East Coast Parkway (ECP), placing residents at the very heart of one of Singapore’s most anticipated urban transformations.
A Precinct Built Around Green Living
The New Bayshore Precinct is envisioned to accommodate approximately 10,000 new homes — comprising around 7,000 HDB units and 3,000 private residences — all set within a richly landscaped, “Living in a Park” environment. At the centre of this vision is a new 3-hectare Central Park, designed to bring nature directly to residents’ doorsteps. Complementing this is a new Linear Park running along the edge of the Bayshore estate, providing lush green corridors that seamlessly connect the community to its surroundings. Together, these green lungs accentuate the precinct’s commitment to a lifestyle where park living is not a luxury, but an everyday reality.
Unmatched Connectivity
Vela Bay residents enjoy truly exceptional transport connectivity. Bayshore MRT Station (TE29) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is right at the doorstep — approximately just 880 metres along the dedicated Transit Priority Corridor (TPC) to Bedok South MRT — offering direct, car-free access to the CBD, Marina Bay, Orchard Road, and Changi Airport. The Transit Priority Corridor itself is a thoughtfully designed 400-metre bus-only route flanked by footpaths, dedicated cycling paths, and wider sheltered pavements on both sides, ensuring a safe, comfortable, and efficient daily commute. For drivers, the ECP provides quick access towards both the city and Changi, further reinforced by a new flyover to ECP (City/Changi direction) being planned for the precinct.
A Complete Lifestyle Ecosystem
Bayshore Drive will be transformed into a vibrant lifestyle spine, lined with an array of amenities including shops, eateries, supermarkets, medical, sports, and recreational facilities — all within walking distance of Vela Bay. The precinct also benefits from a 22,500 sqm mall integrated with a Bus Interchange, providing residents with comprehensive retail and transport convenience under one roof. For leisure and recreation, a new 30,000 sqm SAFRA club is planned within the precinct, offering world-class sports and lifestyle facilities for residents and their families.
Education, Healthcare & Community
Families at Vela Bay are well-served by the precinct’s strong educational infrastructure. Temasek Primary School is located less than 1 km away, alongside Temasek Secondary School within the immediate vicinity — making the daily school run effortless. A New School is also planned within the Bayshore Precinct to serve the growing community. Complementing this is a suite of New Healthcare Facilities being developed within the precinct, ensuring that medical care and wellness support are always close at hand.
Nature, Recreation & Coastal Access
Vela Bay is uniquely positioned between two beloved green and coastal destinations. A new bridge to East Coast Park will provide residents with pedestrian-friendly, direct access to one of Singapore’s most iconic outdoor spaces — perfect for morning jogs, cycling, and beachside dining. With easy access to the ECP towards Changi, spontaneous weekend escapes to the East are effortlessly within reach.
In every direction, Vela Bay sits at the convergence of greenery, connectivity, community, and coastal living — firmly establishing itself as the defining address of the New Bayshore Precinct.
