The Shore Residences

The Shore Residences is the accessible way into Katong. A million-dollar entry into the east strongest catchment reaches HDB upgraders, single professionals and investors alike, and that breadth is why this is the most liquid estate in its pocket. The sections below cover the cost, the ladder, the supply and the fit.

The Shore Residences Prices: The Quantum Question on Amber Road

As of July 2026 the last sixty caveats span $1,672 to $2,330 psf on a median of about $2,040. Over the last twelve months nineteen transactions cleared $1,774 to $2,297 psf at a median near $2,159. That move from $2,040 to $2,159 is the price trend since the Thomson-East Coast Line opened, and nineteen deals is a sample rather than a handful of prints.

The neighbours frame the choice precisely. Amber 45, the 139-unit UOL freehold tower, sits barely 80m away and trades several hundred psf above The Shore Residences. Cote D’Azur is the closest tenure match, 612 leasehold units from 2004 and the place for larger formats at a similar entry, while Silversea shares the 2014 completion year with 383 leasehold units. On freehold, The Sea View sits 170m away with 546 units from 2008, The Esta adds 400 from 2008, One Amber 562 from 2010, Haig Court 360 from 2004, and Amber Park 592 from 2023 at the top of the pocket pricing.

Read the entry prices against that field and the point lands. On recent transactions one-bedroom units start from about $1.05m, two-bedrooms from about $1.72m, three-bedrooms from about $2.66m and four-bedrooms from about $3m. The freehold estates a few hundred metres away ask $2.5m and up for their entry format, because that format is a 1,066 sqft two-bedroom. The trade is tenure and size, stated plainly. Sanctuary Green anchors the district value end near $1,099 psf and Amber House tops it near $3,273 psf, putting The Shore Residences mid-band with about six of seventeen neighbours cheaper.

One technical note. The Shore Residences predates GFA harmonisation, so its strata areas still include aircon ledges the newer rulebook excludes and a psf comparison against a post-harmonisation launch is not the same square foot. Our comparison of new launch against resale in District 15 runs that logic properly.

The Shore Residences Floor Plans: Built as a Rental Product

The Shore Residences floor plan ladder runs 592 to 1,432 sqft, weighted hard toward the compact end. At the twelve-month median of about $2,159 psf it reads as follows: the 592 sqft one-bedroom near $1.28m and the 732 sqft near $1.58m, the 872 sqft two-bedroom close to $1.88m and the 1,055 sqft around $2.28m, the 1,141 sqft three-bedroom near $2.46m, the four-bedroom tier about $2.98m to $3.09m. Treat those as arithmetic on the caveat record rather than quotes.

The prints confirm the shape. A 915 sqft two-bedroom cleared $2m in July 2026 at $2,186 psf, a 1,432 sqft four-bedroom at $3,288,888 the same month on $2,297 psf, a 1,292 sqft three-bedroom at $2.7m in June 2026 on $2,090 psf, and a 592 sqft one-bedroom at $1.075m in March 2026 on $1,816 psf. Note the one-bedroom clearing at the lowest psf in the building, unusual when most estates put the highest psf on the smallest format. Our data piece on what ten years of transactions say about unit-type demand explains the pattern.

With three quarters of the estate in compact stock, The Shore Residences was built for the rental market and the Katong address supports it. Recent transactions imply average yields near 3.5 percent, the strongest among the established estates here and roughly a full point above the large freehold neighbours. Smaller quantums divided into rents that do not fall proportionally is the arithmetic; our rental yields guide sets out what that headline has to cover. Verify against a specific unit achievable rent, not the estate average.

The catch for families is stock rather than schools: 39 three-bedders and 70 four-bedders means family formats are barely a quarter of the estate. At twelve years old most units are on their first renovation cycle, so the same stack can trade over $100 psf apart on condition alone. Price the renovation rather than absorbing it, and walk the common areas, where sinking-fund health shows first. Our guide to what condo maintenance fees pay for sets out what the accounts should show for the lap pool, poolside pavilion and rooftop pavilion.

Is The Shore Residences Worth Buying? Liquidity in a Freehold Enclave

The competing pocket is small. The Marine Parade subzone holds 13 private developments and about 1,758 units, and two estates account for well over half: The Shore Residences with 408 and Cote D’Azur with 612. Buying here is buying one of the subzone two anchors, and nothing is under construction inside it.

The demand engine sits next door in the flats. Marine Parade town carries about 7,855 HDB flats across 59 blocks, 3,482 of them 4-room or larger, and a household selling one of those is exactly the buyer a $1.05m to $1.72m entry format reaches. Our east coast HDB upgraders guide covers that ladder for households leaving Marine Parade and Bedok flats, and our Katong condo guide covers how the heritage pocket and the new stations fit together.

Across the wider planning area sit 159 projects and roughly 14,044 private homes. The pipeline after 2026 is Meyer Blue at 226 units in 2027, then Amber House at 105 and Emerald of Katong at 846 in 2028, all in other subzones and all priced well above this band. The URA Master Plan shows what is still coming to Marine Parade.

Liquidity is the real story: 95 caveats since August 2021, running seventeen, twenty-five, twelve, fifteen, thirteen and thirteen already in 2026. Against 408 units that is roughly 5 percent annual turnover, two to three times the freehold estates around it. For a buyer that means choice; for a seller it means competing with similar listings, so condition, floor and facing decide the sale rather than scarcity. Our Q2 2026 property market review sets the backdrop.

Then the lease. At roughly 82 remaining years the arithmetic is quiet today. A buyer accepts that clock for an entry the freehold field cannot match, same street, same station walk, and whether it suits you is a question about holding period; our 99-year versus freehold guide sets out where the gap shows up in money, and our District 15 freehold guide explains why the district leasehold minority behaves as it does.

Who The Shore Residences Suits

The Shore Residences suits investors and couples who want a Katong address at a workable price, single professionals who need one or two bedrooms near a TEL station, and first-time private buyers stepping out of an HDB flat into the east strongest catchment. Landlords get the best of it: 3.5 percent on 592 sqft and 872 sqft formats, one-to-one parking and a rooftop pavilion inside a two-school radius is a offer the freehold neighbours cannot replicate at their quantums.

The exit audience is the widest in the pocket, and that is the point. A million-dollar entry reaches upgraders, professionals and investors where a $4m freehold four-bedroom reaches almost none of them. Tenants are professionals and small households rather than multi-year family tenancies, so budget for shorter cycles.

Fit runs the other way. If you need three bedrooms in this catchment, Cote D’Azur offers larger formats at a similar entry and the freehold estates nearby offer more choice. If freehold on the same street is the priority, The Sea View is the comparison, and on Meyer Road The Seafront on Meyer is the large-format freehold option for buyers who want space over station-and-school proximity.
