Highest Greenmark standard set. New standard of sustainable urban living. One of the most environmentally-friendly district. A region where its people can LIVE, PLAY and WORK within this location.
This is what Singapore set out to achieve from Marina South.

In a bustling urban village where the main street is CAR-FREE with walking and cycling as the ideal mode of transport, you are just a short walk or bike ride away to cafes, grocery stores and hairdressers. On the streets, children can play around safely. People have ample opportunities to come together for face-to-face interactions. Community bonding is highly encouraged in this district.
People relaxing at Marina South
Space in this district is mixed-use where hairdressers, grocery stores, restaurants, cafes and medical clinics and work spaces will be located on the street level of developments with residences on the upper levels. The streets will be designed and built in a such a way that it encourages and attracts for community interaction and bonding.
Because it wants to make this district car-free, from any point in Marina South
it will only take 5 mins walk to reach a public transport node. In other word, this district will be served by an intricate network of MRT lines, dedicated cycling paths and pedestrian walkways.

Huge benefit

- Marina South is built with unique environmental factors that are not found in other districts like Highest Greenmark standard set, Car-free district, LIVE-WORK-PLAY within the same district.
- Development in Marina South hasn’t completed.

This is one of the very important factors to consider when buying property. Is there any future growth in this region/district to boost the future value of your property?
