What Marina East is
Marina East is one of URA's 55 planning areas, in the Central Region. It covers 1.84 square kilometres of reclaimed land on the eastern side of Marina Bay, between Kallang and Marine Parade on one side and Marina South and the Downtown Core across the water. SingStat's June 2026 table shows no residents here; the figure is published as nil or negligible.
Much of it is open land and parkland. For people choosing where to live, Marina East matters mainly as a neighbour and as a place to visit.
Rail
LTA's exit records place no station exits inside Marina East today. The Thomson-East Coast Line already runs beneath the area between Gardens by the Bay and Tanjong Rhu, and LTA has built a station there called Founders' Memorial (TE22A). LTA has said it will open together with the Founders' Memorial itself, the national memorial being built in the Bay East garden. Until then, the nearest stations are Gardens by the Bay in Marina South and Tanjong Rhu in Kallang.
Parks
NParks records the western end of East Coast Park, its Area A, inside the planning area. From here the park runs east along the coast through Marine Parade and Bedok.
Living nearby
The nearest residential neighbourhoods are the Tanjong Rhu waterfront in Kallang and the Katong and Marine Parade estates in Marine Parade, which has a full guide on this site.
Why it has a page
URA divides the whole of Singapore into planning areas, including land with no homes on it, and SingStat publishes a resident figure for every one of them. Marina East appears in that table with a dash in every column. We include it so that our planning-area table adds up to SingStat's national total and so that readers can see what lies between the city and the east coast.
