Coastline Residences

Overview & Key Facts

Coastline Residences stands at 7–9 Amber Road in District 15, one of Singapore’s most established east-coast residential enclaves. Developed by a consortium led by Sustained Land, Ho Lee Group, Goodland Group, and Kwong Lee Land, the development replaced the former Parkway Mansion through a collective sale completed in December 2017. It was completed in 2021 with 144 freehold units across two 21-storey towers.

The architectural design draws deliberate inspiration from the nearby coastline — undulating facade curves evoke ocean waves, and the building orientation maximises sea-facing exposure for upper-floor units. At 144 units, Coastline Residences sits in the mid-boutique range: small enough to avoid the crowding issues of mega-developments, but large enough to support a meaningful suite of facilities including a rooftop infinity pool.

The Amber Road address carries weight in Singapore’s property market. This stretch of District 15 has seen significant new development activity, with Grand Dunman and The Continuum joining the neighbourhood. Coastline Residences’ freehold status gives it a structural advantage over these 99-year newcomers — a distinction that matters increasingly as buyers become more lease-conscious.

Location & Connectivity

The East Coast has long been one of Singapore’s most liveable corridors, and Amber Road sits at its heart. Parkway Parade, the anchor mall for the Marine Parade community, is approximately 650 metres away — a manageable 10-minute walk that provides access to Cold Storage, cinema, food court, and a wide retail mix. East Coast Park, with its beaches, cycling paths, and hawker centres, is similarly accessible.

MRT connectivity has been the historical weakness of the Amber Road area, but the Thomson-East Coast Line is changing that calculus. Tanjong Katong MRT (TE25) is approximately 790 metres away, and Marine Parade MRT (TE26) is 860 metres. Neither qualifies as doorstep proximity, but both are walkable, and the TEL provides a direct line to the CBD and northern Singapore. Via the ECP, drivers can reach Marina Bay in approximately 10 minutes and Changi Airport in 15 to 20 minutes.

For families, the CHIJ (Katong) Primary school catchment at 720 metres is a significant draw. The broader Katong-Joo Chiat neighbourhood offers a rich cultural and dining scene that newer districts simply cannot replicate — from Peranakan heritage shophouses to acclaimed local food establishments.

Facilities

Coastline Residences packages its facilities thoughtfully for 144 units. The ground-level features a 50-metre lap pool, aqua gym, children’s pool, adventure playground, yoga lawn, and garden terraces on every level. The signature amenity is the 21st-floor rooftop infinity pool and BBQ area, which offers panoramic sea views — a genuine lifestyle differentiator rather than a marketing gimmick.

“Super nice condo with lots of facilities at a great location! The rooftop pool with sea views is genuinely special — feels like being at a boutique resort.”

The facility set is appropriate for the scale but lacks some amenities that larger developments take for granted — there is no tennis court, no full-sized function room, and the gym is modestly sized. Residents seeking a comprehensive sports-and-recreation programme may find the offering limiting, though the proximity to East Coast Park largely compensates for outdoor activity needs.

Unit Sizes & Layout

The 144 units span one-bedroom to three-bedroom layouts plus penthouse suites with up to five bedrooms. Two-bedroom units make up the bulk of inventory, targeting the young professional and small-family demographic that dominates the east-coast rental market. Unit sizes are competitive for a 2021-completion development, though they follow the modern trend of efficiency-optimised layouts rather than the more generous proportions of older freehold projects in the area.

Stack selection is particularly important at Coastline Residences. South-facing units capture sea views and prevailing breezes, commanding a premium over north-facing stacks that look toward the Amber Road streetscape. Higher floors in the sea-facing stacks benefit from genuinely unobstructed views — the low-rise character of the surrounding neighbourhood means there is limited risk of future obstruction from the south.

Pricing & Market Position

Across 93 recorded transactions (all-time), sale prices range from $1,063,000 to $3,420,000, averaging $2,056,371.

Over the last 12 months, transactions averaged $2,829 psf.

Rents range from $3,000 to $15,000 per month across 136 rental transactions. Current rental yield sits at approximately 2.7%.

Rental Yield by Bedroom Type

Blended yield hides the spread between unit sizes — smaller units at COASTLINE RESIDENCES typically rent harder per dollar of purchase price. The final column shows monthly rent per $100,000 invested, so unit sizes compare on equal capital:

Price Appreciation

From 2021 to 2026, the average PSF has appreciated by 10.9% (from $2,489 to $2,760 psf).

Neighbourhood Comparison

The District 15 competitive landscape is active. Grand Dunman at $2,537 psf is a mega-development with 1,008 units and comprehensive facilities, but carries a 99-year lease — making it a fundamentally different proposition for long-term holders. The Continuum at $2,790 psf is freehold with a larger unit count (816 units), offering comparable tenure security with a newer build at similar pricing. Amber Park at $2,536 psf provides another freehold option with a more established track record.

Coastline Residences’ advantage is its boutique scale (144 units vs 800+ at competitors), completed status (no construction risk), and the rooftop infinity pool with sea views. The disadvantage is a smaller facility set and compact units compared to the mega-developments. For buyers who prioritise intimate scale, proven product, and east-coast lifestyle over maximum amenities, Coastline Residences makes a compelling case.

What Residents Say

“The location is excellent — East Coast Park for morning runs, Parkway Parade for groceries, and the new MRT makes commuting much easier than it used to be. The rooftop pool is the highlight.”

— Resident review via 99.co

“Good quality finishes for the price point. Management keeps common areas clean. The only complaint is the gym could be bigger — it gets crowded during peak evening hours.”

— Resident review via PropertyGuru

“Units are a bit compact, especially the two-bedders. You need to be creative with storage. But the sea breeze and the neighbourhood more than make up for it.”

Strengths & Weaknesses

Verdict

Coastline Residences occupies a distinctive position in the District 15 landscape: it is one of the few freehold options completed in recent years, in a neighbourhood that is increasingly dominated by 99-year new launches. At an average of $2,792 psf, it sits between Grand Dunman ($2,537 psf, 99-year) and The Continuum ($2,790 psf, freehold) — competitive pricing for what the freehold tenure delivers.

The 2.67% gross yield is respectable for a freehold east-coast address, and the combination of TEL connectivity improvements, established neighbourhood amenities, and cultural cachet makes for a solid long-term holding thesis. The east coast has historically been one of Singapore’s most resilient residential corridors, and Amber Road benefits from this track record.

The main reservations are the MRT walk distance (790 to 860 metres to the nearest TEL stations) and the relatively compact unit sizes that may not appeal to families needing three or more bedrooms with generous living space. Buyers should also be aware that the neighbourhood is becoming denser as new projects complete, which may affect the exclusivity that early buyers enjoyed.
