East side, best side? Haus of Pride thinks so! East Coast is about to get a dazzling makeover, and it’s not just the buildings that are getting a facelift—it’s the vibe too.
In recent years, the Government’s announced several plans that will turn East Coast into the coolest spot in town. Grab your shades because we’re diving into the hippest redevelopment plans that promise to make the East Coast the ultimate place to see and be seen.
Thomson East Coast Line
First up, let’s talk about the Thomson East Coast Line (TEL). East Coast estate has long been one of the go-to spots for recreation and chilling out. But one of the main pain points that has plagued the area is that it is not exactly accessible (unless you drive) due to the lack of MRT. But fret not!! The long-awaited akan datang TEL is opening soon in 2024!
Picture this: You, cruising from the East to the North with the wind in your hair and not a care in the world. The TEL isn’t just a train line; it’s the East Coast’s own magic carpet ride, connecting neighborhoods like Bayshore, Marine Parade, and Katong to gay nightlife stronghold locales like Maxwell and Neil Road, and the shopping districts of Great World and Orchard, creating a buzz of excitement. Say goodbye to long commutes and hello to the TEL – your ticket to adventure and spontaneity.
New HDB Estates
Now, let’s talk about the new HDB BTO estates popping up like mushrooms after the rain and they’re the East Coast’s answer to a more colorful, diverse, and inclusive community. With 7,000 upcoming BTO flats in the 2H2024, out of which 1,400 are 2-room flexi (perfect for you single folks out there), this would definitely rejuvenate and inject more vibrant life to the older Marine Parade and nearby Bedok estate.
The new estates are designed to be more than just places to crash; they’re your personal playgrounds. Think green spaces where everyone is welcome, regardless of who you love. It’s not just about bricks and mortar; it’s about creating a community where all residents feel at home, proud, and embraced.
The Long Island Reclamation Project
Hold onto your fabulous hats because we’re about to dive into the recently announced Long Island Reclamation Project! It’s not just a project; it’s a statement. This ambitious endeavor that is 800 hectares (twice the size of Marina Bay!!), will come with news homes, create jobs, develop services and amenities that they need, and add around 20 km of new coastal and reservoir parks, extending from the current East Coast Park. This would triple the length of the existing waterfront area along East Coast Park today, creating a world class work-live-play environment.
The Long Island Reclamation Project isn’t just about more land; it’s about more love. Imagine strolling along waterfront promenades hand in hand, enjoying the sunset with the one you love, walking your fur babies. What a wonderful sight to behold!
So there you have it, folks—get ready to ride the wave of change on the East Coast! As these projects unfold in the coming years, the East Coast is not just evolving; it’s voguing into a new era, and you’re invited to join the party.
Thinking of where to purchase your first home, invest, or retire? Think no further! Us at Haus of Pride think that East Coast is definitely one of the places to go! There are quite a number of new launches like Tembusu Grand, Grand Dunman and The Continuum which are located in the vicinity of East Coast. Come talk to us if you’ve interest any of these developments!
