CONDO REVIEW
Dec 2020: MARINA ONE RESIDENCES – quite a bargain at $2,300psf
Recently, my client asked me about Marina One Residences versus Fourth Avenue Residences, both of which are selling for about the same $2300psf range. I told him – of course, you should go for Marina One Residences, lah. This is because Sixth Avenue is already an established neighbourhood, while spurred by government planning, the Marina Bay area is still growing up in its role as the heart of the new CBD. In many global cities around the world, living in the financial district is a privilege and will cost a bomb, but uniquely in Singapore, you can still get a good unit at many D1, D2 and D7 properties for the same price — in terms of psf — as some new mass-market condo launches in the outlying suburbs ….. In the pre-COVID days, I take daily evening walks around the Marina Bay (about 3.5km), and always see hordes of tourists enjoying themselves. And I silently wonder to myself each time: Why are Singaporeans not enjoying themselves here?

MARINA ONE RESIDENCES is the residential component of MARINA ONE, which is strategically located in Marina Bay, Singapore’s new CBD and financial district. It has a captivating waterfront setting, with seamless connectivity to the city’s MRT network as well as the many civic, cultural, leisure and dining attractions around Marina Bay.
An integrated development, MARINA ONE comprises luxury residences, unique retail offerings and prime Grade-A office. Among its current corporate tenants are Facebook, MUFG and Julius Baer. At the heart of this development is an architecturally unique biodiversity garden, flanked by two adjoining green parks at Marina Station Square and Central Linear Park.
Residents at MARINE ONE RESIDENCES will enjoy seamless connectivity to 4 MRT lines —North-South Line, Circle Line, Thomson – East Coast Line, and Downtown Line. This is because this development is just next to three (3) MRT stations – Marina Bay station, Downtown station, and the new Shenton Way station. In the longer term, it will be possible to walk from Marina One Residences – via an underground pedestrian mall – all the way to Raffles Place, which is at the heart of the old CBD.
POTENTIAL OF MARINA BAY
In assessing the potential of an investment in Marina One Residences, it is important to pay attention to the government’s Master Plan for the larger Marina Bay area.
The idea of Marina Bay first took shape in the 1970s, when city’s planners envisioned an expansion of the city centre to accommodate Singapore’s growing status as a business and financial hub. An array of architectural masterpieces now dot the waterfront, such as Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay.
Importantly, not many people are aware that the next major stage in URA Master Plan for Marina Bay area is the development of Marina South district, which is the area that is immediately south of Gardens By the Bay and to be served by the upcoming Marina South MRT station of the Thomson-East Coast Line. The URA planners are envisioning an urban village characterised by city streets with corner shops, cafes, grocery stores, barbers and beauty salons, all within a short walk or bicycle ride. Residential communities are planned as street neighbourhoods where residents have opportunities for interaction. Walking and cycling are the choice modes to move around with shaded walks and dedicated cycling paths. An intricate network of MRT lines, cycling paths and pedestrian walkways will serve the district.
Furthermore, in the URA Master Plan, Bayfront Avenue (the road stretching from Marina Bay Sands all the way to Marina One) is slated to become a retail and entertainment belt (a mini Orchard Road of sorts) within the next 10-20 years. When this materializes, residents at Marina One Residences will enjoy being at the heart of an even more vibrant locality that will rival the best of Orchard Road.
