Berlayar Drive is one of three private housing plots released so far on the former Keppel Club golf course, and it is capped at five storeys beside the waterfront. Land this central, this green and this close to the sea rarely comes up for sale in Singapore.
For more than a century this was a golf course. Keppel Golf Club started in 1904 with three holes in a nutmeg plantation and grew into an 18-hole course before its lease ended in 2021. The estate's name comes from Batu Berlayar, the "sailing rock" that once marked the western entrance to Keppel Harbour.
URA's tender conditions decide what can be built here. The gross plot ratio is only 1.4, blocks may rise no higher than five storeys, and building heights are guided to step down towards Berlayer Creek and Bukit Chermin. All car and motorcycle parking must be in the basement, and standalone multi-storey car parks and landscape decks are not allowed. The result is a low-density scheme of about 415 homes on a 271,932 sq ft plot.
Berlayar Drive Residences has a standard 99-year leasehold, counted from the award date of 7 August 2026. As with every Government Land Sales project, a few years of that lease will be used up during construction, so owners should expect roughly 93 to 94 years remaining at TOP if completion lands in 2031 or 2032.
Sources: URA technical conditions of tender for Berlayar Drive; HDB, 23 September 2025; Home & Decor Singapore on the history of Keppel Club; Stacked Homes, 18 May 2026. Remaining lease at TOP is an estimate.
Berlayar Drive Residences is on the waterfront side of Telok Blangah Road, between Labrador Nature Reserve and Keppel Bay. The nearest station is Telok Blangah (CC28) on the Circle Line, reported at about 500 m away, which 99.co describes as roughly a seven-minute walk.
Telok Blangah is not an interchange, but it is one stop from HarbourFront, where the Circle Line meets the North East Line. Since the Circle Line loop was completed on 12 July 2026, trains also run straight from HarbourFront to Marina Bay through the new Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road stations. That puts both the Marina Bay financial district and the one-north business park five stops away, in opposite directions, on a single line.
| Station | Line | Code | From Berlayar Drive | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Telok Blangah | Circle | CC28 | About 500 m, nearest station | Open |
| HarbourFront | Circle, North East | CC29 / NE1 | 1 stop from Telok Blangah | Open, interchange |
| Labrador Park | Circle | CC27 | 1 stop the other way | Open |
| Keppel | Circle | CC30 | 2 stops | Opened 12 Jul 2026 |
| Marina Bay | Circle, North-South, Thomson-East Coast | CC33 / NS27 / TE20 | 5 stops | Open, interchange |
| one-north | Circle | CC23 | 5 stops | Open |
Distance to Telok Blangah as reported by The Edge Singapore; it is not a measured walking route, and the final walk depends on where the blocks and gates will be built on the site. Stop counts follow the LTA Circle Line sequence after Stage 6 opened on 12 July 2026, when Marina Bay's Circle Line code changed from CE2 to CC33.
Before Stage 6, a Circle Line rider from Telok Blangah heading to Marina Bay had to travel the long way round the loop or change lines at HarbourFront. The three new stations shortened that trip and added Keppel, a short hop away, as a new stop for the waterfront. LTA says the completed line links to every existing MRT line through 12 interchanges.
The Berlayar estate is also a gazetted car-lite area. URA has capped parking at 60% of the usual Zone 2 allowance for the site, and the estate is planned with walking and cycling links through its green corridors. Buyers who need more than one car park may want to confirm the allocation when details are released.

Berlayar Drive is part of the Berlayar estate, the first neighbourhood of the Greater Southern Waterfront, a 30 km stretch of coast from Pasir Panjang to Marina East. About 10,000 homes are planned here, and the first 2,856 public flats have already been offered for sale.
| Project | Status | What it brings |
|---|---|---|
| Berlayar Residences BTO | Launched Oct 2025 | 880 Prime flats in blocks of 19 to 46 storeys, plus a rental block, between Berlayar Street and Berlayar Drive |
| Berlayar Rise BTO | Launched Jun 2026 | 1,976 flats |
| Telok Blangah Road GLS | Awarded Nov 2025 | About 745 private homes by Kingsford Huray |
| Berlayar Drive GLS | Awarded Aug 2026 | About 415 low-rise private homes: this project |
| Berlayar Close GLS | Tender Dec 2026 | The estate's third private site |
| Green corridors | Planned | Four corridors 30 to 60 m wide linking the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve, within 10 ha of green space |
For a future resale buyer, this means the area around Berlayar Drive in the early 2030s will look very different from today's cleared land: a full estate with its own shops and parks, set between two existing nature areas.

No price list has been released for Berlayar Drive Residences. What is known is the land cost of $1,515 psf ppr. Knight Frank's Alice Tan has suggested launch prices could start from about $2,900 psf, with an average around $3,100 psf.
As a rough guide, at $3,100 psf a 1,000 sq ft home would cost about $3.1 million before stamp duty. This is a working figure based on an analyst estimate, not a developer price. At $1,515 psf ppr, the land price set a new benchmark for purely residential government sites in the city fringe.

Berlayar Drive Residences will have no block taller than five storeys, set by URA in the tender. That makes it a boutique, low-density scheme in an estate where the public housing next door rises to 46 storeys.

Each lift lobby and facility is shared by fewer households, and more homes are close to the gardens and the water. Corals at Keppel Bay, the nearest low-rise precedent, still asks between $1,939 and $2,903 psf a decade after completion, which suggests the market values this format.
There are no high floors, so whether a home looks out to sea depends on where its block is placed, not how high it is. The land cost is spread over fewer homes, one reason prices are expected to be high. Views over the BTO towers and the sister sites will also change as the estate is built.

Berlayar Drive Residences suits a buyer who wants a rare low-rise waterfront home and plans to hold for ten years or more. Buyers focused mainly on rental yield or the lowest entry price may want to compare it with other launches first.
The two established waterfront condos nearby give the clearest evidence of how this corridor trades.

Low-rise waterfront land in the city fringe is rarely sold, and URA's five-storey cap keeps this a low-rise scheme. Construction of the estate has already started, with 2,856 BTO flats launched, and the Circle Line now runs direct to Marina Bay. Bukit Merah and Queenstown recorded 240 million-dollar HDB resales in the first half of 2026, about 27% of the island's total, a deep pool of nearby upgraders (ERA Research, 5 August 2026). The same partners have sold between 97% and 100% of their three recent Lentor launches.
At Knight Frank's $3,100 psf average and Reflections' $5.45 psf monthly rent, gross rental yield works out to about 2.1% before tax, maintenance and vacancy. Because Telok Blangah Road has not launched yet, there is no nearby new-launch price to compare with $2,900 psf. Its launch prices will give buyers a useful reference point. The tender drew a single bid, which analysts linked mainly to developers saving capital for the upcoming Berlayar Close site. That bid still came in above their forecast range. Foreign buyers pay 60% ABSD, Singapore citizens 20% on a second home (IRAS). At Reflections, resale results have varied from unit to unit, which shows how much stack and floor choice matter in a waterfront development. From 2022 to the first half of 2026, Bukit Merah's median non-landed prices rose 11.7%, compared with 21.3% for the wider RCR (ERA Research, 22 July 2026).
Berlayar Drive and Telok Blangah Road are the two private sites already sold in the Berlayar estate. Telok Blangah Road is larger, closer to the MRT and cheaper per plot ratio; Berlayar Drive is smaller, capped at five storeys and nearer the water.

Berlayar Drive Residences sits between two nature areas, a short ride from Singapore's largest mall and its main leisure island, with the mature Bukit Merah and Telok Blangah town centres already in place.
Labrador Nature Reserve and Berlayer Creek, one of the last two mangroves in southern Singapore, border the estate. The Southern Ridges and Mount Faber are linked through the new green corridors.
VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre, one MRT stop away at HarbourFront, plus shops at the Telok Blangah and Bukit Merah town centres.
Sentosa is reached through HarbourFront. Keppel Bay's marina lies just east of the site.
Mapletree Business City is close by, and both one-north and Marina Bay are five stops away on the Circle Line.
Schools in the area include Blangah Rise Primary School, Radin Mas Primary School and CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent. The development has no registered address yet, so its 1 km and 2 km registration bands must be checked on MOE SchoolFinder once one is allocated.
The estate is named after Batu Berlayar, the rock that guided ships into Keppel Harbour, and sits on the course the Keppel Club played on from 1904 to 2021.
The Berlayar estate is still being developed, with the BTO blocks, Telok Blangah Road and Berlayar Close being completed over the next few years. Once the site plan is released, check which stacks face those sites, and what orientation, sunlight and views each unit gets. Parking is capped under car-lite rules, and the MRT walk depends on where the gates will be built on the site.
Quick answers to the questions buyers ask most about Berlayar Drive. Last updated: .
Berlayar Drive Residences is the working name for the upcoming private condominium on the Berlayar Drive GLS site in the new Berlayar estate, District 4, Singapore. The 99-year leasehold site can yield about 415 homes in blocks of up to five storeys. The developer has not yet announced the official project name.
Berlayar Drive Residences is on Berlayar Drive in the Bukit Merah planning area, District 4, part of the Rest of Central Region. The site is on the former Keppel Club golf course, between Labrador Nature Reserve, Berlayer Creek and Keppel Bay, and about 500 m from Telok Blangah MRT station on the Circle Line.
Berlayar Drive Residences is being developed by a joint venture of GuocoLand (Singapore) Pte Ltd and Intrepid Investments Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Hong Leong Holdings. URA awarded the site to the pair on 7 August 2026. The two groups have partnered before on Lentor Modern, Lentor Mansion and Lentor Hills Residences.
The Berlayar Drive GLS site sold for $576.78 million, or $1,515 psf per plot ratio. It was the only bid when the tender closed on 4 August 2026, against analyst forecasts of four to six bids, but it came in above their $1,100 to $1,450 psf ppr range. Analysts called it a record for a purely residential RCR government site.
No price list has been released for Berlayar Drive Residences. Knight Frank's Alice Tan has suggested that, given the $1,515 psf ppr land rate, prices could start from about $2,900 psf with an average of around $3,100 psf. These are analyst estimates, not developer prices. Register to receive the price list when it is published.
Berlayar Drive Residences can yield an estimated 415 homes on a 271,932 sq ft site with a gross plot ratio of 1.4, allowing a maximum gross floor area of 35,369 sqm (about 380,700 sq ft). Blocks are capped at five storeys, and all car parking must be in the basement. The unit mix has not been released.
The nearest station to Berlayar Drive Residences is Telok Blangah (CC28) on the Circle Line, reported at about 500 m away. It is one stop from the HarbourFront interchange for the North East Line, and since the Circle Line loop closed on 12 July 2026, five stops from Marina Bay via Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road.
No launch date has been announced for Berlayar Drive Residences. Launch is estimated for 2027 and TOP for around 2031 to 2032. The estimate reflects the August 2026 award and the IRAS condition that housing developers complete and sell every unit within five years to keep their ABSD remission. These are not developer dates.
Berlayar Drive Residences has a 99-year leasehold, the standard tenure for residential Government Land Sales sites. The lease runs from the date of award, 7 August 2026, so some years will have passed by the time owners collect their keys, as with every GLS project.
It depends on the buyer. Berlayar Drive Residences offers a scarce low-rise waterfront address inside a government estate that is already being built. Buyers should also weigh the land cost, which set a record for the area, the absence so far of a nearby new-launch price to compare against, and rents of about $5.45 psf a month at Reflections at Keppel Bay, roughly a 2.1% gross yield at $3,100 psf.
No. Berlayar Drive Residences is a private condominium on the Berlayar Drive GLS site, with about 415 homes of up to five storeys. Berlayar Residences is an HDB Build-To-Order project in the same estate, launched in October 2025, with 880 flats in blocks of 19 to 46 storeys plus a rental block.
Both sites are in the Berlayar estate. Telok Blangah Road was awarded to Kingsford Huray in November 2025 at $1,326 psf ppr for about 745 homes and is closer to Telok Blangah MRT. Berlayar Drive cost 14.3% more per plot ratio, but it is a smaller, low-rise scheme of about 415 homes nearer the waterfront.

Primary schools in the Telok Blangah and Bukit Merah area include Blangah Rise Primary School, Radin Mas Primary School and CHIJ St. Theresa's Convent.
