For some buyers, a condo just doesn’t feel like a luxury unless you’re overlooking the water. Unfortunately, greenery or low-density housing is much easier to promise than a lasting sea view in Singapore – due to our limited land space, there’s always the threat that new developments may impede such a view. Nonetheless, we've collated an ultimate list where the condos either have or could potentially have a good sea view.

*Do note that certain developments could have been missed out on the account of too few units just having pocket sea views, or perhaps only the top few floors having water views of any sort. Some may also have water views technically (but it's a very thin sliver of a canal view), so we've decided to omit those as well.

We've also left out new launches that have yet to be completed and will update this list in due course. If you feel we've missed out on any do let us know at stories@stackedhomes.com!

A shortlist filtered by price, size or tenure is a useful way to narrow your options, but it won't tell you which property is the best fit for your finances, lifestyle or long-term plans.

That's where the real evaluation begins: comparing the trade-offs between each option to decide which one makes the most sense for your situation.

Over time, that's also why we decided to work with agents who shared the same data-driven and advisory-led approach behind our editorial, consultants who could help readers think through decisions more objectively, rather than simply push transactions.

Today, the team has worked with more than 2,000 clients across over $5B in property transactions.

*Data from Mar-22 to Aug-22 due to lack of recent data.

For those looking at sea/water view condos, here are a few notable ones that we've highlighted:

1. The East Coast Condos

We’ll begin with the most obvious choices: condos situated along the East Coast stretch. The older resale options are along the Bayshore Road cluster (consisting of The Bayshore, Bayshore Park, and Costa Del Sol); these don’t just have a good view of the sea, they’re physically close and provide access (e.g., Costa Del Sol has an underpass to East Coast Beach, and it’s just a five-minute walk). 

costa del sol sea view

This cluster of condos will have improved accessibility with Bayshore MRT (TEL), once it’s up in 2024; but for now, they’re quite hard to get to via public transport. 

An oft-overlooked condo here is The Meyerise, near the Tanjong Katong area. This freehold condo was built in 2014 and has recently come on the radar again. Not only does Meyerise have a sea view, but it will also have the upcoming Tanjong Katong MRT (TEL) within walking distance – this is due later this year. Meyerise combines its sea view with low-density residential nearby, so there could be greater demand here very soon.

The newest East Coast condo with a great sea view, however, is Seaside Residences at the time of writing; it was recently completed in 2021. This was one of the first sea view projects to be built along the ECP in almost 15 years, and as a bonus, it’s near the upcoming Siglap MRT station (TEL). The station should be ready later in the year. Take note, however, that most but not all of the units here have a sea view (during sales, it was advertised that 70 per cent of units had an unblocked sea view). 

An important note on the Long Island Project

We have more information on the Long Island Project in this article. At this time, we cannot yet confirm which exact projects will or won’t lose their sea view; but it’s almost certain that multiple East Coast condos will be affected if the initiative goes through. This is something to bear in mind for the long term, as it could impact resale value.

Seaside Residences99-years2021841$2,146

2. Kallang Riverside Condos

The first condo to come to mind here is Kallang Riverside itself (that’s the actual name of the condo). Completed recently in 2018, this small (212 unit) resale condo has one of, if not the best views of the Kallang River. One of its main selling points is that the project is mixed-use, so residents in the 30-storey tower can find shops and eateries on the ground floor. 

Also within the vicinity are CitylLights and Southbank, which provide good access to Lavender MRT (EWL), while still having good river views. One other condo that bears mention, despite its small size (just 96 units) is The Riverine by the Park. This project is right on the bank of the Kallang River, and is just next to the Kallang Riverside Park. 

Riverine is a tough location for families though, as it’s one of the rare condos with absolutely no schools in a one-kilometre radius.

3. The Future Residential areas around Penjuru Road

Right now, the areas around Penjuru Road are industrial, for those less familiar with the area. However, take a look at the zoning on URA SPACE:

penjuru masterplan

Notice the large chunks of land-coloured beige, which are both facing bodies of water. This is the colour code for residential development. This means that, when the industrial properties here come to the end of their lease, the projects replacing them will be new homes; not new factories. 

The stretch along Penjuru Road stands out because it’s facing bodies of water on both sides, and that provides excellent waterfront opportunities for any condos that are built there. 

We’d keep an eye on this area over the coming years, as redevelopment could provide some well-situated future condos. 

4. Areas near the Jurong Lake Garden 

The Jurong Lake Garden is unlikely to end up blocked or demolished under the Master Plan. We doubt the government went through all the trouble of transforming and upgrading the Jurong Lake District just to have that happen; so for those who don’t want a Long Island situation (see above), this area may be preferable.

The upcoming Lake Garden Residences, as the name implies, is a project specifically built to take advantage of the Jurong Lake view. Besides an unimpeded view, the project has direct access to the adjoining park of the same name. This is a designated green space with hiking trails, bike trails, a Forest Ramble, etc. While it isn’t close to any MRT stations, this condo provides a strong Bukit-Timah vibe, but without the prime region pricing. 

For those who want a resale alternative, and a lower cost, Lakeside Tower is relatively close. It offers a comparable view and huge units (up to 3,874 sq. ft.), as is typical of '80s-era condos. The lease decay might worry some buyers though.

5. Marina One Residences

We couldn’t get away without mentioning Marina One Residences, which is famous for its sea view among other qualities.

However, it’s also useful as an example of a potential hazard:

Note the white spaces that surround Marina One on all sides.

marina one residences

These white spaces can have a variety of uses; these include commercial, hospitality, sports, and recreational activities, and, yes, future residential developments. 

The hazard is that equally tall – if not taller – future developments may be interspersed between Marina One and Marina Bay. If so, it’s likely that at least some of the units can lose their waterfront view, or have it partially impeded. 

This is one of the more common drawbacks of prime region properties; because the area is so packed and so important, the surroundings can change very quickly.

It’s ironic that, despite living on an island, most Singaporeans don’t get the privilege of a waterfront view. Our land scarcity and speed of urban redevelopment also mean that, even if you have one now, you can’t count on it to last. 

The best you can do is with an eye on URA’s zoning strategies, to keep your view as long as you can. In the meantime, you can also check out in-depth reviews on new and resale properties on Stacked, to pick up some better options.

A shortlist sorted by one variable is a fast way to narrow your options, but the pick that's cheapest, biggest, or most convenient isn't always the one that fits your situation best.

If you'd like to discuss how this applies to your own circumstances, you can reach out for a one-to-one consultation here.
