New estate will provide more housing options for Singaporeans to enjoy urban waterfront living in the East. Minister for National Development Mr Desmond Lee unveiled the masterplan for the new Bayshore housing estate at the HDB Awards Ceremony on 16 October 2023. When fully developed, this housing estate will offer about 10,000 new homes, of which about 7,000 units (70%) will be set aside for public housing.
Bounded by Upper East Coast Road, Bayshore Road and the East Coast Parkway, the 60-hectare site is located on reclaimed land that has been earmarked for residential use since the Master Plan 1998. Planned as an extension of Bedok town, the new Bayshore estate leverages its location near the East Coast Park to provide a unique waterfront living experience where residents can look forward to distinctive waterfront homes, well-connected neighbourhoods and vibrant streets with a wide array of amenities; new parks and green spaces offering more recreational spaces; a living environment that encourages active lifestyles and healthy living; and a smart and sustainable estate.
Launch of New Flats in 2024 – The first two Build-To-Order (BTO) projects in the new Bayshore estate are slated for launch in 2024. Given its attractive location and close proximity to transport nodes and amenities, these projects could potentially be considered for launch under the new Plus model. Comprising about 1,400 units of 2-room Flexi to 4-room flats, the two projects will be designed with full-height windows that allow residents to enjoy waterfront views for units facing East Coast Park, or city views for units facing Bedok town.
