The location map for Marina Garden Lane shows how exciting the new launch will be. The GLS site is located next to the upcoming Marina South MRT station.
As a residential area, it will be interesting to see if the new small units CBD rules apply to the development.
The launch of the first land parcel at Marina Gardens Lane will kickstart the development of a completely new Marina South neighbourhood.
A new residential precinct at Marina South
The 45-ha Marina South precinct has been planned as a mixed-use residential neighbourhood comprising a mix of residential, hotel, retail and surpisingly only some office uses. It will be next to Gardens by the Bay and Marina Barrage, and overlooking Marina Reservoir and the Straits of Singapore.
Marina South will be characterised by pedestrian-friendly streets, a comprehensive cycling network, a pedestrian mall and an underground pedestrian network connecting the two Thomson East Coast Line stations at Gardens by the Bay and Marina South.
A series of planned elevated pedestrian connections will seamlessly connect the precinct to Gardens by the Bay and to the coast.
When fully developed, Marina South can potentially have more than 10,000 dwelling units, enjoying good access to amenities such as parks, public spaces, recreational options, shops and F&B outlets, as well as community facilities such as childcare centres.
Future residents of Marina South will enjoy the benefits of a more sustainable precinct as developments in the area are required to attain BCA’s Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy certification.
To build a vibrant residential neighbourhood, the Government is studying various possible housing options to be introduced to realise the long-term planning vision for the precinct.
Interestingly, in June 2023, the government launches a site close by for sale under the GLS programme too. Marina South area will be an exciting area in the future of Singapore.
