Five hundred and fifteen homes, forty-four metres from the platform.

Five hundred and fifteen, in two blocks of thirty-one storeys — Block 1 at 1 Bayshore Walk with 248 homes across stacks 01 to 09, and Block 3 at 3 Bayshore Walk with 267 across stacks 10 to 18.

The number is confirmed three ways that do not depend on one another: URA’s tender launch of 26 November 2024 estimated 515 residential units for the parcel; URA’s Housing Developer’s Licence C1542 licenses “515 units of flat/apartment”; and expanding the twenty floor plans’ own #storey-stack ranges fills exactly 515 slots.

Nobody can confirm that yet, and any agent who tells you otherwise is reading a map rather than the register. On 13 September 2026 both official sources — OneMap School Query and MOE SchoolFinder — returned no Home-School Distance record at all for 1 or 3 Bayshore Walk, in either the within-1km band or the 1–2km band.

That is an absence, not a refusal. Home-School Distance is computed from the building outline in the submitted building plan, the table was last built in June 2026, and Vela Bay’s building plan is dated 9 February 2026. Measured straight-line from OneMap’s own boundary geometry, Temasek Primary’s land boundary is 682 m from Block 1 and 673 m from Block 3, and the nearest building that OneMap does code within 1 km of that school sits 39 m from the site. Everything points inside the kilometre; the register has not said so yet, and it is the register that decides a Primary 1 ballot. The next update is June 2027.

Bayshore MRT Exit 1 is 44 metres from Block 1 and 46 metres from Block 3, measured between OneMap’s coordinates for the exit and for each address. The station box itself is 152 m and 141 m away; Exit 2 is 127 m and 118 m. The site plan shows a side gate opening towards the station.

Bayshore (TE29) opened on 23 June 2024, one of the seven Thomson–East Coast Line Stage 4 stations that began service that day.

Two different companies appear on the two public records, and both are named here. URA awarded the Bayshore Road land parcel on 28 March 2025 to Sing-Haiyi Garnet Pte. Ltd.. URA’s Housing Developer’s Licence register names the developer of Vela Bay as Bayshore Walk Pte. Ltd. of 9 Temasek Boulevard, licence C1542 issued 29 October 2025.

None of the four supplied documents names either company.

Ninety-nine years. That is URA’s stated lease period for the parcel, in the tender annex and in the award release.

The commencement date is a different question and this site does not answer it, because no supplied document and no public record read on 13 September 2026 states one. Ask for it in writing before you commit — on a leasehold purchase the start date is worth more than the brochure.

Not stated. None of the four documents gives an expected TOP, and OneMap still returns both addresses as “VELA BAY (U/C)”. The building plan is dated 9 February 2026. The expected dates for vacant possession and legal completion are set out in the Sale and Purchase Agreement; ask for them there rather than from a marketing page.

No price list was supplied, so none is published here and none is invented. What is public is the land cost: $658,888,998 for the site, which works out at $1,388 per square foot per plot ratio and $1,279,396 of land for every one of the 515 homes. Message Andee for the price list the moment it is released.

Thirty-one numbered facilities in two zones: Bay Coast on the first storey, with the Vela Pool, a kid’s pool, jacuzzi seats, three pavilions, a mist garden and a link bridge; and The Vela Club in Basement 1, with the gymnasium, a steam room, a wellness deck, an outdoor fitness corner, the Port Lounge, two function rooms in the clubhouse and a recreational tennis court.

The site plan also carries a lettered schedule of plant and service rooms. That is working-drawing information, not a facility, and it is not reproduced here — which is why the count is thirty-one and not forty-seven.

Fifty-four of the 515. The 4-bedroom private-lift type fills stack 10 in Block 3 from the fifth storey to the thirtieth (26 homes), the 5-bedroom private-lift type fills stack 05 in Block 1 over the same storeys (26 homes), and the two penthouses sit on top of those same two stacks at #31-05 and #31-10. Each private-lift plan includes a 4 sqm private lift lobby inside the strata area.

Because the plans say so, and it gives the building its shape. Eight stacks reach the ground — 01 and 09 in Block 1, and 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 in Block 3 — and every one of those eight ground-floor homes has a PES. Stacks 16 and 17 begin on the third storey; stacks 02 to 08 and stack 10 begin on the fifth. The result is eight homes on each of the first two storeys, ten on the third and fourth, eighteen from the fifth to the thirtieth and eleven on the thirty-first.

What occupies the lower storeys of the stacks that start higher up is not stated in any supplied document.

HDB’s masterplan, unveiled 17 October 2023, puts about 10,000 new homes on the 60-hectare reclaimed site bounded by Upper East Coast Road, Bayshore Road and the East Coast Parkway, of which about 7,000 — seventy per cent — are public housing. It is a car-lite estate with two MRT stations, a new central street lined with shops and eateries carrying a 400-metre bus-only Transit Priority Corridor, a three-hectare central park and a linear park that keeps the old seawalls.

Vela Bay is the first private development in it.
