Everything you need to know about Vela 1

Vela 1 is a highly anticipated Singapore new launch 2026 and the first private condominium in the Bayshore precinct in over 25 years. This District 16 new launch offers approximately 515 units on a prime Bayshore Road condo site directly adjacent to Bayshore MRT station. Developed by SingHaiyi Group, Vela 1 represents a rare opportunity for an East Coast condo with direct MRT access.

Vela 1 is the only Bayshore MRT condo with direct station access—the MRT exit is literally across the road. This makes it the most connected new launch in District 16. From Bayshore MRT, residents can reach Marina Bay in just 7 stops (about 15 minutes) via the Thomson-East Coast Line, making it ideal for CBD professionals seeking East Coast living.

Vela 1 is a 99-year leasehold development. The land was acquired through the Government Land Sales (GLS) programme in March 2025, so the lease will commence from 2025.

Vela 1 floor plans will range from 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom configurations across approximately 515 units. While official Vela 1 floor plan details are pending the showflat launch, expect efficiently designed layouts that maximise the waterfront orientation. Based on SingHaiyi's track record with Grand Dunman and Parc Clematis, buyers can anticipate quality finishes and functional layouts. Register to receive Vela 1 floor plan updates when released.

District 16 (Bayshore/Upper East Coast) offers the best of East Coast living—proximity to East Coast Park, established schools like Temasek Primary and Victoria School, and the beloved food scene along East Coast Road. As a District 16 new launch, Vela 1 adds something previously unavailable: direct MRT access via the Thomson-East Coast Line. This transforms commuting for East Coast residents while preserving the laid-back coastal lifestyle.

As an East Coast condo, Vela 1 offers the lifestyle many Singaporeans dream of: morning jogs along East Coast Park (1.4km away), weekend cycling, kayaking at Singapore Wake Park, and seafood dinners at East Coast Lagoon Food Village. The area is known for its relaxed vibe, good schools, and strong community. Vela 1 adds direct MRT connectivity that older East Coast condos lack, making it the best of both worlds.

Vela 1 is within 1km of Temasek Primary School (~876m), giving children P1 registration priority. Other nearby primary schools include Opera Estate Primary, Fengshan Primary, and St. Stephen's School. For secondary education, Victoria School (~1.7km) and CHIJ Katong Convent (~2km) are accessible. Temasek Junior College is approximately 2km away. This makes Vela 1 attractive for families prioritising education.
