Ever since their announcement of Bayshore BTO 2024 projects in June, these new flats have drawn significant interest. The first batch of Bayshore BTO flats was officially launched in October 2024, marking a major step in the transformation of the Bedok Bayshore area.
With the opening of Bayshore MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) in June 2024, connectivity has improved significantly. Due to their prime location near Bedok, these flats fall under the Plus model, which comes with additional resale restrictions. The Bayshore estate was originally introduced as part of URA’s 2019 Master Plan, aiming to redevelop the eastern region of Singapore into a modern, well-connected residential area.

Bayshore BTO location
Bayshore estate spans approximately 60 hectares, with a significant portion comprising a 31-hectare forested area in Bedok. The estate is strategically located near major roads such as Bayshore Road and Upper East Coast Road, offering quick access to East Coast Park.
It is surrounded by established private condominiums like The Bayshore and Costa del Sol, giving the area a mix of public and private housing options. Nearby, the SAF Bedok Camp serves as a landmark. Interestingly, part of Bayshore sits on reclaimed land, and the new Bayshore Central Park will feature seawalls to reflect its coastal heritage.
For those who don’t want to wait for a BTO flat, resale flats in Bedok remain a viable alternative, offering immediate move-in options.
Bayshore URA Masterplan overview
Bayshore is being developed with a long-term vision in mind. The October 2024 BTO launch included two projects, marking the first step toward a larger residential community.
With the opening of Bayshore MRT in June 2024 and Bedok South MRT scheduled for 2026, connectivity will continue to improve. The estate is planned to house approximately 10,000 homes, including 7,000 HDB flats and 3,000 private residences. The development also emphasises sustainable living, featuring:
- A car-lite environment with cycling paths and pedestrian-friendly spaces.
- New parks and green spaces to enhance the area’s livability.
7,000 Bayshore HDB flats and first BTO launch in October 2024
The first Bayshore BTO launch in October 2024 introduced 1,444 flats across two developments. These include 2-room Flexi, 3-room, and 4-room flats, catering to a diverse range of homebuyers. A standout feature of these flats is the full-height windows, which maximise views of East Coast Park and the surrounding landscape.
All Bayshore BTO flats are within a 5-minute walk from the newly opened Bayshore MRT station. Given the prime location and accessibility, these flats have been designated as Plus flats, which come with additional regulations.

Bayshore Vista is located along Bayshore Walk, just two minutes from the MRT station. It offers stunning sea views and quick access to major job hubs like Changi Business Park and the Central Business District.
Bayshore Palms, situated along Bayshore Drive, provides a more serene environment with city views. Larger 4-room flats in this development may appeal to families looking for spacious living.
Moving forward, Bayshore BTO flats could appeal to various groups of homebuyers. Older residents from Bedok and Katong may find the area attractive as it allows them to remain in a familiar neighborhood. Additionally, future HDB upgraders could consider these flats once Plus flats fulfill their 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP). Young families might also be drawn to the estate’s excellent transport connectivity, lifestyle amenities, and green spaces, making it a well-rounded option for different buyer profiles.
Wait, what are Plus BTO flats again?
Plus BTO flats were introduced during the National Day Rally in 2023, with regulations in effect from H2 2024. These flats are in more desirable locations, such as near MRT stations or prime districts, and come with stricter rules.
Key restrictions include:
- A 10-year MOP, double that of Standard flats.
- Stricter resale conditions to limit speculative buying.

New MRT Stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line
The addition of Bayshore MRT (opened in June 2024) and Bedok South MRT (opening in 2026) enhances the area’s accessibility. The TEL offers seamless connectivity from Sungei Bedok to Woodlands North, linking key areas across Singapore.
- Downtown Line (DTL) at Sungei Bedok MRT (2 stops away) for quick access to other major lines.

- Multiple interchange connections to the East-West Line (EWL), North-East Line (NEL), North-South Line (NSL), and Circle Line (CCL).
