As the river bends into a gentle curve, Tanjong Rhu sits with unhurried grace, offering residents a waterfront lifestyle defined by openness and calm-where the city loosens its grip and life settles into an easy, unforced rhythm. Nestled along the Kallang Basin, the Tanjong Rhu neighbourhood is known for its sweeping waterfront views and convenient city-fringe location. However, major new private residential developments in the area have been few and far between, with no mid-sized to large condominium launches for many years.
Buyers seeking out their dream home in this neighbourhood are in luck, as a new condo project is set to hit the market in Tanjong Rhu for the first time in decades. It will be located on a government land sale site that was launched for sale in 2025 - the first private residential GLS site rolled out in the area since 1997.
The Tanjong Rhu Road plot - which could yield an estimated 525 homes - garnered five bids from developers upon tender close on 5 February 2026. The top bid of $709 million was submitted by a joint venture comprising of City Developments Limited and Bedrock Ventures, translating to a land rate of $1,455 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr).
Seamlessly Connected To The City And The Rest Of Singapore
Perhaps the biggest draw of the upcoming development is its prime location, around a seven-minute walk from either the Tanjong Rhu or Katong Park MRT stations on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). This city-fringe address offers residents convenient access to a wide range of amenities, as well as to the city centre.
Future residents can enjoy seamless connectivity to the rest of Singapore via the TEL, with the MRT interchange at Marina Bay just two stations away from Tanjong Rhu - offering transfers to the North South Line (NSL) and Circle Line (CCL). Connectivity will be further enhanced when the final phase of the TEL extension is completed, as the line will be linked to the Tanah Merah station and the upcoming Changi Terminal 5 MRT station. This will provide access to the East-West Line (EWL) and the future Cross Island Line (CRL), shortening commuting time between Changi Airport and the city centre.
For working professionals, particularly those based in the central business district (CBD), daily commutes will be a breeze. Tanjong Rhu MRT offers direct access to key employment hubs such as Marina Bay, Shenton Way, Maxwell and Orchard Road.
Sports, Recreation, and Lifestyle at Your Doorstep
Residents in Tanjong Rhu will be well served by a good mix of dining, retail and lifestyle amenities. The Kallang Wave Mall and Leisure Park Kallang are both a 15-minute walk or an eight-minute drive from the project, offering convenient options for everyday meals, shopping and entertainment. For those willing to venture slightly further, i12 Katong and Parkway Parade are three MRT stops away at Marine Parade station, providing a wider range of retail and dining choices. Meanwhile, Suntec City, one of Singapore's largest shopping malls, is only an eight-minute drive away, featuring an extensive mix of shops, eateries, entertainment options, as well as spaces for conventions and exhibitions.
Looking to switch things up for the weekend? Residents can easily play tourist at Gardens by the Bay, located just one stop away on the Thomson-East Coast Line. This iconic attraction is home to popular highlights such as the Flower Dome, Cloud Forest and Supertree Grove, alongside diverse dining options at Satay by the Bay. For a more indulgent experience, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is also close by, providing a curated selection of luxury brands and fine-dining establishments.
One of the most recognisable landmarks in the immediate area is the National Stadium, the crowning centrepiece of the Kallang precinct and a venue for world-class sporting events, concerts and entertainment. For avid joggers who want to enjoy scenic city views without worrying about wet weather, the Promenade at the National Stadium features an 888-metre fully sheltered running track and recreational space that is free for public use.
The Kallang, formerly known as the Singapore Sports Hub, offers an extensive range of sporting facilities. The OCBC Arena houses indoor courts for badminton, basketball, netball, volleyball and table tennis, while outdoor facilities cater to activities such as tennis, skateboarding and pickleball. For those keen to try something different, the Kallang Water Sports Centre provides a variety of aquatic activities, including kayaking, dragon boating, aqua fitness classes and even surfing.
Building on Kallang's reputation as a sporting and entertainment hub, the Kallang Alive Masterplan aims to transform the precinct into a vibrant, sports and recreation destination, complete with new training and sports science facilities which will help to revitalise the area.
Top Schools Just Around the Corner
While there are no primary schools within 1 to 2-km from the site, families with young children can still apply for nearby schools like Kong Hwa Primary School, Tanjong Katong Primary School, and Geylang Methodist School (Primary).
Notably, the project is also within walking distance to Dunman High School (Secondary and Junior College) and relatively near to Chung Cheng High School, Tanjong Katong Girls' School and Secondary School, and Broadrick Secondary School.
Additionally, the Singapore Sports School (SSP) will be moved to Kallang from its Woodlands location as part of the Kallang Alive Masterplan. The new SSP will be housed alongside new sports science and sports medicine facilities, and national training centres for several key sports, making Kallang the new base for Team Singapore.
