Straits View

A narrow waterfront planning area at the southern tip of the city, with Marina South Pier station and no recorded residents.

What Straits View is

Straits View is a Central Region planning area of 1.13 square kilometres along the southern edge of the city, between the Downtown Core, Marina South and the sea. No one is recorded as living here: SingStat's June 2026 entry is nil or negligible. The land here is used for transport and the waterfront rather than homes. Its name comes from the view across the Singapore Strait, and its shoreline faces the anchorages and the islands to the south.

Rail

Three stations have exits inside the boundary.

StationCodeLine
Marina South PierNS28North-South Line
Marina SouthTE21Thomson-East Coast Line
Marina BayNS27CC33TE20North-South Line, Circle Line, Thomson-East Coast Line

Marina South Pier is the southern terminus of the North-South Line, and it is where ferries leave for the Southern Islands such as Kusu and St John's. One of Marina Bay station's exits falls on this side of the boundary. Marina South station, on the Thomson-East Coast Line, has three of its exits here; LTA has said that station will open when the developments around it are completed.

Marina Bay itself is an interchange of the North-South, Circle and Thomson-East Coast lines, so the one exit inside Straits View connects the waterfront to three lines. On SingStat's June 2026 table, the area carries a dash in every age and dwelling column.

Services and homes

With no recorded residents, Straits View has no MOE school, NEA hawker centre, polyclinic, community club or park on the agencies' lists. The nearest residential neighbourhoods and services are in the Downtown Core, which has a full guide, and in Outram and Bukit Merah.
