Private Property

Singapore’s eastern region is poised for a major transformation. With over 200,000 new homes planned across areas like Bayshore, Paya Lebar Air Base, and the future Long Island, this wave of redevelopment is set to reshape the real estate landscape and offer unparalleled opportunities to homeowners and investors alike. If you’ve been wondering where the next property hotspots are, here’s what you need to know—and how these developments could impact your decisions. Bayshore: A New Coastal Township with Urban Connectivity After decades of limited residential development, Bayshore is finally stepping into the spotlight with a bold, future-ready estate. The upcoming 60-hectare site will introduce 10,000 new homes—split between 7,000 HDB flats and 3,000 private units. This area has long been underutilised, despite its prime East Coast location and proximity to city-centre amenities. What this means for buyers and investors: This marks the first major housing rollout here since 1997, and judging by the overwhelming demand for 2024’s BTO projects—Bayshore Vista and Bayshore Palms—it’s clear that this location is long overdue for renewal. Paya Lebar Air Base: A Mega Township in the Making Set to be vacated in the 2030s, Paya Lebar Air Base and its surrounding industrial estates will be transformed into a massive township. We’re looking at an area five times the size of Toa Payoh, with plans for up to 150,000 homes, as well as schools, parks, mixed-use developments, and new MRT lines. Why this is a big deal: For buyers planning long-term, or investors thinking ahead to the next frontier, this area could be a key focus over the next two decades. Long Island: Singapore’s Next Waterfront Destination An entirely new coastal district, Long Island will be built on reclaimed land stretching from Marina East to Tanah Merah. This ambitious project will not only offer 30,000 to 60,000 new homes, but also act as a crucial line of defence against rising sea levels. How this affects real estate in the East: This development is decades-long, but for long-term investors and homeowners looking to future-proof their choices, understanding the impact of Long Island now is critical. More Growth in Simei, Chai Chee, and Loyang Beyond the marquee developments, other mature estates are also getting a fresh wave of attention: These estates offer quieter entry points for families and first-time buyers looking for a foothold in a well-connected and mature region, without the price tags of more central areas. Conclusion: Should You Be Looking East? With Eastern Singapore at the heart of urban transformation, it’s no longer just a desirable lifestyle zone—it’s becoming a core investment cluster. Between modern transport links, waterfront developments, and massive new housing pipelines, this region is evolving into a new epicentre for growth. Whether you’re exploring your next home or hunting for long-term property value, understanding the potential of these developments gives you a head start.
