Marina South

A reclaimed district south of Marina Bay where SingStat counted no residents in June 2026, but where rail and new homes are already in place.

What Marina South is

Marina South is a Central Region planning area of 1.63 square kilometres, on reclaimed land south of the Marina Bay financial district. It is bordered by the Downtown Core, Marina East and Straits View. Its best-known landmark is Gardens by the Bay, whose Bay South garden lies here.

Marina South has no recorded residents: SingStat's June 2026 row for it is a dash. That is a snapshot at the end of June. The area is planned for homes, and a project from our new launches index is listed below.

Rail

Two Thomson-East Coast Line stations have exits inside the boundary.

Gardens by the Bay station (TE22) is in service. Marina South station (TE21) has been built, with exits on both sides of the boundary with Straits View, but trains pass through it for now; LTA has said it will open when the developments around it are completed. Marina Bay, the nearest interchange, is in the Downtown Core and Straits View.

Getting there today

For now, Gardens by the Bay is the working station in the area, reached from Marina Bay on the Thomson-East Coast Line. Bayfront station, on the Downtown and Circle lines, is just across the boundary in the Downtown Core and links to the gardens on foot.

Everyday facilities

With no resident population yet on SingStat's count, the planning area has no MOE school, NEA hawker centre, polyclinic or community club on the agencies' lists. The nearest of these are in the Downtown Core and Outram, which between them have the Maxwell, Amoy Street and Chinatown Complex food centres and close to 60 CHAS clinics.
