Vela Bay.
First mover in Bayshore.

Why Vela Bay still matters after launch.

Vela Bay is the first private condominium released in the Bayshore precinct, the Urban Redevelopment Authority's new residential estate on the East Coast. Being the price-setter in a fresh precinct is structurally valuable: the first project establishes the benchmark, and subsequent launches on the surrounding parcels almost always come to market at higher land costs and higher prices, repricing the pioneer upward.

The fundamentals are strong — a direct link to Bayshore MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line, a position directly opposite East Coast Park, and the majority of units oriented to sea and park views. Within 1km sit Temasek Primary and Temasek Secondary, a catchment that supports family demand.

The project launched in April 2026 and moved quickly, so this is no longer a ground-floor entry. Where I add value now is on the balance units the developer still holds, and on the first wave of resale and sub-sale listings as early buyers reposition. That secondary window is often where the better-value, better-stack opportunities actually sit.

One-bedroom to five-bedroom.

• 1-Bedroom + Study · 484 sqft — 27 units. Entry-tier and the most liquid layout for resale.
• 2-Bedroom · 592 sqft — 84 units. Indicative from ~S$1.4M; the investor and couple sweet spot.
• 2-Bedroom Premium · 678–689 sqft — 113 units. The deepest 2BR pool in the project.
• 3-Bedroom · 883–893 sqft — 87 units. Indicative from ~S$2.2M; the owner-occupier core.
• 3-Bedroom Premium · 1,033 sqft — 88 units.
• 4-Bedroom Premium · 1,173 sqft — 62 units. Indicative from ~S$3.1M.
• 4-Bedroom Private Lift · 1,378 sqft — 26 units. Dual aspect, private lift.
• 5-Bedroom Private Lift · 1,582 sqft — 26 units. From ~S$4.5M.
• Penthouse · 1,765 sqft — 2 units, by private invitation.

How I work this project

I represent buyers, not the developer. I have full co-broking access to Vela Bay through my brokerage and am paid the standard developer commission on balance units, so my advisory costs you nothing. My role is the unvarnished view — the stacks I would avoid, the sea-facing layouts that will resell well, and whether a balance unit or an early resale is the smarter buy at today's pricing.

If you are weighing Vela Bay against another East Coast or District 15 option, that is exactly what a diagnostic call is for. I will tell you which one I would buy with my own money — and which stack, not just which project.
