The Line @ Tanjong Rhu

D15 (OCR) Freehold

What happens when a 130-unit freehold boutique lands at the precise hinge point where the Sports Hub precinct meets the Tanjong Rhu waterfront — and stays freehold while every comparable block around it ages on a 99-year clock? That is the question The Line @ Tanjong Rhu forces buyers to ask in 2026, as the neighbourhood simultaneously attracts Singapore’s first Tanjong Rhu Road GLS in 28 years (as of 2026-02) and watches the 90-hectare Kallang Alive precinct gear up for its most ambitious overhaul since the Sports Hub opened.

Completed in 2015, the 15-storey development on Tanjong Rhu Road sits inside District 15 — one of Singapore’s perennially liquid resale corridors — yet it carries the waterfront personality of a niche product: low headcount, river-facing outlook, and a freehold title that insulates it from the lease-decay discount plaguing most of its neighbours. Katong Park MRT on the Thomson–East Coast Line (TEL) stands immediately adjacent, a connectivity upgrade that was still under construction when most buyers paid their 5% option fee. That station opened in June 2024 and has since materially repriced the precinct.

This review draws on URA resale caveats (as of 2026-05), the February 2026 Tanjong Rhu GLS tender results, the Kallang Alive Master Plan as published by URA and Sport Singapore, and D15 rental transaction data from the ShiokNest corpus. It is intended for buyers weighing a boutique waterfront freehold against the liquidity and scale of projects further down Marine Parade Road.

Overview & Key Facts

The Line @ Tanjong Rhu is a 130-unit freehold condominium at 6 Tanjong Rhu Road — a boutique waterfront address in District 15 completed in 2015 by Lakeview Investments Pte Ltd. The development comprises two 20-storey towers set on a compact site that punches well above its weight in terms of unit variety, offering everything from 420 sqft one-bedroom-plus-study units to 3,423 sqft penthouses. For a freehold development of this size in the Tanjong Rhu waterfront precinct, that range is unusually broad and allows the project to serve single professionals, couples, and families alike.

The Tanjong Rhu neighbourhood has historically sat in a quiet pocket between the Kallang Basin waterfront and the East Coast residential belt — close to the Sports Hub, the Kallang River promenade, and East Coast Park, but removed from the commercial intensity of the CBD. The Line capitalises on this positioning: upper-floor units command views across the Kallang Basin toward the city skyline and the Marina Bay area, with sunset views that residents consistently describe as the development’s single most compelling feature. The waterfront orientation is structural — the basin and the open water in front are not going to be built over, giving long-term view protection that many inland condominiums cannot guarantee.

At a current 12-month average of $2,328 PSF, The Line sits below the newer 99-year mega-developments in the broader District 15 corridor — Grand Dunman ($2,537 PSF) and Emerald of Katong ($2,640 PSF) — while offering freehold tenure. That pricing differential reflects the development’s smaller scale and the Tanjong Rhu micro-location, which historically traded at a discount to the Katong–Amber strip. However, the opening of Katong Park MRT station on the Thomson-East Coast Line, just 110 metres from the development, has fundamentally altered the connectivity equation and is likely to narrow that gap over time.

TANJONG RHU ROAD

Location & Connectivity

Tanjong Rhu Road sits on the southern edge of the Kallang Basin, a waterfront precinct that has undergone significant transformation with the completion of the Singapore Sports Hub and the progressive extension of the Thomson-East Coast Line. The Line @ Tanjong Rhu at 6 Tanjong Rhu Road occupies a position that balances waterfront living with urban connectivity — the Kallang River promenade and Tanjong Rhu Suspension Bridge are within walking distance, while the ECP, KPE, and MCE expressways provide rapid road access to the CBD, Changi Airport, and the rest of the island.

The standout connectivity story is Katong Park MRT (TE24), located approximately 110 metres from the development — essentially doorstep rail access. This station on the Thomson-East Coast Line connects residents directly to Marina Bay in about 8 minutes and Orchard in roughly 18 minutes without transfers. Before the TEL opened, Tanjong Rhu was effectively car-dependent, with Mountbatten MRT on the Circle Line sitting 870 metres away. The new station has transformed the transport equation entirely and is arguably the single biggest structural uplift to property values in this micro-location. Stadium MRT (1.12 km) and Dakota MRT (1.21 km) provide Circle Line alternatives.

Daily amenities require a short drive or bus ride. Leisure Park Kallang and Kallang Wave Mall at the Sports Hub are the closest retail options, offering food courts, a cinema, and basic retail. For a fuller shopping experience, Parkway Parade is a 5–7 minute drive, while the Katong and Joo Chiat heritage food belt — one of Singapore’s richest dining corridors — is accessible via Katong Park and Tanjong Katong. East Coast Park is reachable via the underpass at Marine Parade, delivering beach access, cycling paths, and hawker dining. The honest assessment is that immediate walkable amenities are limited — there is no supermarket or food centre within a 5-minute walk — but the MRT station compensates by putting the entire TEL corridor within easy reach.

The school catchment is reasonable but not as concentrated as the Katong–Meyer corridor. One World International School (Mountbatten) is 1.18 km away, and Geylang Methodist School (Primary) sits at 1.58 km. Tanjong Katong Primary School (1.68 km), Haig Girls’ School (1.82 km), and Tao Nan School (1.84 km) are within the broader 2 km radius but fall outside the coveted 1 km priority enrolment zone. For families where school proximity is the primary driver, this is a consideration worth weighing carefully.

Katong Park MRT — A Game-Changer
At just 110 metres away, Katong Park MRT (TE24) gives The Line @ Tanjong Rhu one of the shortest condo-to-station walks in District 15. The Thomson-East Coast Line connects directly to Marina Bay, Orchard, and Woodlands without transfers. This proximity is a structural advantage that was not priced into earlier transactions — owners who purchased before the TEL’s completion benefit from this infrastructure premium retroactively, and the station’s presence materially changes the lifestyle equation for an area that was previously car-dependent.

Facilities

For a 130-unit boutique development, The Line @ Tanjong Rhu delivers a surprisingly comprehensive facilities deck spread across two levels — the ground floor and the fourth-floor sky terrace. The centrepiece is the lap pool with an adjoining children’s pool, set within landscaped grounds that incorporate water features and garden elements. A forest jacuzzi, floating clubhouse, garden spa, sky gym, forest garden BBQ terrace, central garden, meadow walk, and fragrant garden deck round out the communal amenities. Three pavilions and two playgrounds cater to families with young children, while the dual gym setup — one at ground level and one sky gym — provides more fitness options than many developments of this size.

“Very nice place to stay. Management and security personnel are cooperative and helpful. The sunset views from the pool deck are quite special.”

— Resident review via PropertyGuru

The honest caveat is that several residents describe the amenities as “lacking what you would normally expect from a condo” at this price point. The pools are compact rather than resort-scale, the gym equipment is functional but not premium, and the overall facilities footprint reflects the constraints of a 130-unit site. The floating clubhouse is an interesting design feature but modest in actual usable space. For residents coming from larger developments with tennis courts, full-sized function rooms, and extensive water features, The Line’s amenity offering may feel limited.

That said, the boutique scale works in the development’s favour for daily usage. With only 130 units sharing the facilities, crowding is virtually non-existent — you can swim laps on a Saturday morning without competing for lane space, and the BBQ pavilions are available without the weeks-ahead booking that plagues mega-developments. The landscaping, with its garden-forward design philosophy incorporating fragrant plants, a meadow walk, and forest-themed zones, creates a sense of greenery and retreat that is genuinely pleasant. Security is 24-hour, and the grounds are well-maintained.


Unit Sizes & Layout

The Line @ Tanjong Rhu offers an unusually diverse unit mix for a 130-unit development. The range spans from compact 420 sqft one-bedroom-plus-study units through two-bedroom units, three-bedroom units, four-bedroom units, and up to penthouses at 3,423 sqft. With 34 distinct floor plan types, the variety is exceptional — buyers can find layouts tailored to almost any household configuration, from a single professional’s pied-à-terre to a family penthouse.

The smaller units — the one-bedroom-plus-study at 420–560 sqft and two-bedrooms around 700–900 sqft — are compact by any standard and reflect the development’s 2013–2014 design vintage, when efficient layouts were already trending smaller. These units suit investors or singles; families will find the spaces tight for daily life. The three-bedroom units offer more breathing room and represent the sweet spot for owner-occupier families, while the four-bedrooms and penthouses provide genuinely generous living spaces with the waterfront views that justify the Tanjong Rhu address.

The two-tower configuration means units face either toward the Kallang Basin waterfront (northwest) or toward the landed residential area and Tanjong Rhu Road (southeast). The waterfront-facing stacks command a premium for good reason — unobstructed views across the basin to the city skyline and the Singapore Flyer, with sunsets that residents universally praise as the development’s signature feature. Road-facing units are quieter in terms of view drama but benefit from lower-rise surroundings and a calmer outlook. Upper floors (above level 12) generally clear the surrounding tree line and neighbouring buildings for wider panoramas.

Unit sizing — set expectations
The smaller units at The Line are genuinely compact. A 420 sqft one-bedroom-plus-study is efficient living that demands careful furniture planning. Buyers accustomed to older, more generous layouts should physically visit the unit types they are considering. The three-bedroom and above offer comfortable family living, but the one- and two-bedroom units are firmly in the “efficient” category. Budget for smart storage solutions if purchasing the smaller configurations.

Neighbourhood Comparison

The most relevant comparisons are with the District 15 new launches that dominate the corridor. Grand Dunman ($2,537 PSF, 99-year from 2022, 1,008 units) is the mega-development benchmark — newer finishings, a comprehensive facilities deck, and direct Dunman Road frontage, but a 99-year lease and the density trade-offs of a 1,000+ unit project. Emerald of Katong ($2,640 PSF, 99-year from 2023, 846 units) carries an even higher PSF with leasehold tenure. Both developments are priced above The Line in PSF terms despite having shorter leases — a reflection of new-launch premiums and larger-scale amenities, but the freehold differential becomes increasingly significant beyond a 10-year holding horizon.

Among freehold competitors, The Continuum ($2,790 PSF, freehold, 816 units) commands a significant PSF premium over The Line but offers a Thiam Siew Avenue address without waterfront views. Amber Park ($2,537 PSF, freehold, 592 units) on Amber Road is a closer comparison in terms of freehold East Coast living, with larger units and a more established amenity strip, but sits further from MRT access and at a higher PSF. Tembusu Grand ($2,461 PSF, 99-year from 2022, 638 units) offers a competitive PSF but again with leasehold tenure.

The Line’s competitive advantage crystallises around three factors no competitor fully matches: freehold tenure at a sub-$2,400 PSF entry point, Katong Park MRT at 110 metres (closer than any competitor in the corridor), and protected Kallang Basin waterfront views. The trade-offs are equally clear: smaller unit sizes than Amber Park or older freehold developments, more modest facilities than the mega-projects, and a micro-location that requires a short commute for daily shopping. For buyers who weight MRT proximity and freehold tenure above unit size and on-site amenities, The Line represents a value proposition that the broader District 15 market has not yet fully priced in.

What Residents Say

“The biggest sell of this place is probably the view it has of the sunset. It is absolutely stunning and makes coming home special every evening.”

— Owner review via 99.co

“Very nice place to stay. Management and security personnel are cooperative and helpful. Lived here for more than a year and the community feel is great for a smaller development.”

— Resident review via PropertyGuru

“Amenity wise it is quite lacking what you would normally expect from a condo. The units are also generally smaller too. Access to other amenities is not as easy — unless you cycle.”

— Resident feedback via 99.co

“Extremely dusty from all the construction sites nearby. Noisy from both construction and traffic. Located in the middle of nowhere — no mall, no MRT at the time.”

— Former resident review via EdgeProp

The pattern across resident reviews reveals a development whose primary asset is experiential rather than material. Those who value the sunset views, the waterfront setting, and the intimate community of a 130-unit development speak with genuine warmth — the sunset over the Kallang Basin is mentioned in nearly every positive review and clearly defines the emotional experience of living here. Management and security receive consistently positive feedback, and the small community creates a sense of familiarity that mega-developments cannot replicate.

The critical feedback centres on three recurring themes: limited walkable amenities in the immediate area, compact unit sizes (particularly the smaller configurations), and noise during the TEL construction period. The construction noise complaints are now largely historical — with Katong Park MRT operational, that disruption has ended and been replaced by the very connectivity residents were waiting for. The amenity and sizing concerns, however, are structural and worth weighing honestly. Residents who approach The Line expecting resort-scale facilities or generous room dimensions will be disappointed; those who prioritise location, views, and freehold permanence tend to find the trade-offs acceptable.

Best for — Freehold value seekers in District 15 MRT-proximity prioritisers Waterfront sunset lifestyle buyers Couples and small families (2–3 bed) East Coast lifestyle enthusiasts Investors banking on TEL-driven appreciation Families needing 1 km school enrolment priority Yield-focused rental investors Buyers needing spacious layouts (sub-700 sqft units)

Freehold tenure in a leasehold-dominated sub-market. Tanjong Rhu Road sits inside a pocket where nearly all competing stock — Waterina Suites, Camelot By The Water, Riviera Point — is on 99-year or 999-year leases that are well into their third or fourth decade. The Line’s freehold title means zero lease-decay risk and no deteriorating CPF-eligible loan quantum over a 30-year hold. For buyers who have studied the freehold vs leasehold cost analysis for Singapore buyers, the premium on The Line’s PSF relative to 99-year neighbours is structurally justified. Freehold also carries a collector’s premium among en-bloc watch candidates, though with only 130 units the consent threshold is easy to reach if owners ever align.

TEL Katong Park MRT at the doorstep. The adjacent Katong Park station (TEL Stage 4, opened June 2024) provides direct one-seat connections to Marina Bay, Orchard, and Woodlands North (as of 2026-05). Before the station opened, The Line sat in a mid-point dead zone between Mountbatten and Tanjong Rhu bus nodes. That friction is now eliminated. The Thomson–East Coast Line property guide documents how stations in the TEL Stage 3 and 4 corridor repriced surrounding condos by 8–15% in the 18 months post-opening. For The Line, Katong Park MRT is a value-creation event that has already partly crystallised in resale caveats but likely has further to run as tenant demand catches up.

Waterfront and Sports Hub precinct appreciation catalyst. The Kallang Alive masterplan — covering ~90 hectares from Tanjong Rhu to the Geylang River mouth — was formalised in the URA Draft Master Plan 2025 as a key Central Region regeneration zone (as of 2026-02). The precinct includes a planned multi-purpose indoor arena, a themed hotel, the Benaan Kapal Green riverside park with a 400m walking-cycling loop, and rebranded “The Kallang” identity for the Sports Hub. These are not speculative future plans — the GLS tender for the first residential site in the precinct in 28 years closed in February 2026 with CDL and Woh Hup bidding S$1,455 psf per plot ratio for a 520-unit, three-tower project (as of 2026-02). That land price sets a new replacement cost anchor well above The Line’s current resale PSF of S$2,294 (all-time average per URA caveats via ShiokNest DB), providing a structural floor against significant capital value erosion.

Boutique scale with river-and-city sightlines. At 130 units across 15 storeys, The Line avoids the corridor-and-lift-lobby anonymity of 500-unit-plus mega-projects. Higher-floor units command unobstructed views of the Kallang Basin, Marina Bay skyline, and the National Stadium roof structure. Evening westerly exposures — particularly the 1- and 2-bedroom layouts on the odd-stack facing the river — capture the sunset panorama that residents consistently cite as the project’s defining amenity. Pool-level morning light is similarly favourable given the north-south orientation of the main tower block.

Strong and growing rental demand. The ShiokNest rental corpus records 273 lease transactions for The Line with an average rent of approximately S$3,978/month (as of 2026-05). At a mid-range 2-bedroom resale price of roughly S$1.8–S$2.0 million, this implies indicative gross yields of 2.4–2.6% — modest relative to mass-market OCR stock but consistent with prime freehold waterfront boutiques. Demand is anchored by a mix of expat professionals in the Sports Hub cluster, CBD workers attracted by the TEL commute, and digital nomads drawn to the east coast lifestyle corridor documented in the Bayshore and East Coast waterfront buyer guide.

Thin liquidity and high re-entry cost. With only 130 units, The Line averages fewer than 10 resale transactions per year. In 2025–2026 YTD, ShiokNest records 18 caveats at an average PSF of S$2,374 (as of 2026-05), which is healthy velocity for a boutique, but prospective sellers who need a quick exit face a shallow buyer pool. Compare this to nearby Kallang Riverside (which logged a higher YTD PSF of S$2,406 but has far more comparable units changing hands quarterly). Thin liquidity also limits price discovery: the spread between the lowest and highest recent caveats — S$2,025 to S$2,569 psf — reflects unit mix and floor variance more than true market depth. Buyers with shorter target hold periods (under 5 years) should model a realistic exit timeline using the property ROI calculator with a conservative absorption assumption. Independent transaction history tracking at EdgeProp’s The Line @ Tanjong Rhu page confirms this caveat pattern (as of 2026-05).

Modest unit sizes and limited facilities for the price. The 130-unit count sits against a relatively lean amenity stack: a lap pool, gym, and sun deck are present but there are no tennis courts, function rooms, or the multi-zone recreation areas larger projects offer. Resident feedback consistently flags that units — particularly the 1-bedroom tier — are compact relative to post-2018 new-launch benchmarks. Buyers accustomed to the generously proportioned layouts of projects in the D9–D11 corridor may find the efficient space planning here an adjustment. This does not impair rental demand significantly (tenants value location and TEL access), but it is a factor in owner-occupier satisfaction over a decade-long hold.

GLS supply pipeline. The February 2026 CDL-Woh Hup tender win introduces a 520-unit new launch into the immediate sub-market within the next 3–4 years (as of 2026-02). A large, freshly-launched project by a Tier 1 developer on the same road will attract buyer attention and likely launch at PSFs that rationalise the premium narrative for the entire corridor. This is a dual-edged dynamic: the new launch validates Tanjong Rhu as a destination (good for The Line long-term) but creates near-term competition for prospective upgrader buyers and short-term rental tenants who may opt to wait for the new project’s showflat. Investors should factor in a potential 12–18 month soft patch in resale demand once that project enters the market (as of 2026-Q4 expected launch window per ERA Singapore’s Tanjong Rhu GLS analysis).

Stamp duty exposure for non-citizens and multiple-property buyers. At resale prices of S$1.6–S$2.5 million for the 1- and 2-bedroom tier, ABSD of 60% for foreigners and 20% for Singapore PRs buying a second property materially affects the addressable buyer pool. The stamp duty calculator quickly reveals that a S$2.0 million purchase carries BSD of approximately S$69,600 for Singapore citizens — and S$1,269,600 total if the buyer is a foreigner. This does not disqualify The Line as an investment but it sharpens the profile of who realistically re-enters the market.

]

The Line @ Tanjong Rhu is a genuinely rare Singapore property proposition: a freehold, low-density waterfront boutique in a district that is simultaneously benefiting from a generational infrastructure upgrade (TEL), a masterplan-backed precinct transformation (Kallang Alive), and the first new supply signal in 28 years (the February 2026 GLS). Each of those tailwinds is real, independently verified, and not yet fully priced into the resale PSF of S$2,294 average across the DB caveats (as of 2026-05). The D15 2026 YTD market average of S$2,217 psf makes The Line look broadly fairly valued against the corridor, with a modest premium justified by the freehold title and waterfront positioning. Live listing data on 99.co’s The Line @ Tanjong Rhu page confirms asking prices broadly track the S$2,025–S$2,569 transacted range (as of 2026-05).

The risks are specific and manageable rather than structural: thin liquidity (130 units), compact unit sizes for owner-occupiers wanting to grow in place, and the near-term competitive shadow of the CDL-Woh Hup GLS project. None of these constitute reasons to avoid the property — they are reasons to price your entry with precision and hold through the GLS construction cycle rather than trying to time a quick two-year flip. Buyers who use the property advisor finder to match their profile should also model their loan capacity upfront; the TEL-adjacent premium means units in the S$2.0–S$2.5 million range require a household income of S$12,000–S$15,000/month to clear TDSR comfortably.

Recommended holding period: 7–12 years. The Kallang Alive precinct transformation will take until approximately 2030 to reach critical mass; the CDL-Woh Hup new launch will create 2–3 years of near-term supply noise before it becomes a comps anchor that re-rates the entire road. Buyers who enter now and hold into the post-2030 window capture the full benefit of both catalysts. Short-term flippers, foreign buyers absorbing full ABSD, and buyers requiring large (3-bedroom+) family layouts at competitive PSF will find better value in comparable District 15 alternatives or the broader East Coast price corridor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is the nearest MRT from The Line @ Tanjong Rhu?
Katong Park MRT (TE24) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is approximately 110 metres from the development — essentially doorstep access. This connects directly to Marina Bay (~8 minutes) and Orchard (~18 minutes) without transfers. Mountbatten MRT on the Circle Line is 870 metres away as an alternative.
Is The Line @ Tanjong Rhu freehold or leasehold?
The Line @ Tanjong Rhu is freehold. This is a significant differentiator in District 15, where most recent new launches (Grand Dunman, Emerald of Katong, Tembusu Grand) are 99-year leasehold. Freehold tenure eliminates lease decay risk and supports long-term holding strategies.
What are the sunset views like at The Line @ Tanjong Rhu?
The sunset views across the Kallang Basin are consistently described by residents as the development's single most compelling feature. Northwest-facing units overlook the open water toward the city skyline, Marina Bay Sands, and the Singapore Flyer. Upper floors (above level 12) capture wider panoramas. The waterfront orientation means these views are structurally protected — the basin will not be built over.
Are there good schools near The Line @ Tanjong Rhu?
The nearest schools include One World International School (Mountbatten) at 1.18 km, Geylang Methodist School (Primary) at 1.58 km, and Tanjong Katong Primary School at 1.68 km. However, no primary school falls within the critical 1 km priority enrolment radius, which is a consideration for families with young children entering the P1 registration process.
How does The Line @ Tanjong Rhu compare to Grand Dunman and Emerald of Katong?
The Line offers freehold tenure at $2,328 PSF versus Grand Dunman's 99-year at $2,537 PSF and Emerald of Katong's 99-year at $2,640 PSF. The newer projects have larger facilities and more modern finishings, but their leasehold tenure means the freehold gap widens with time. The Line also has closer MRT access (110m vs 400m+ for the others). The trade-off is smaller unit sizes and more modest amenities.
Is The Line @ Tanjong Rhu good for rental investment?
At 1.71% gross yield with a median rent of $3,500/month and median price of $2,450,000, The Line is not optimised for rental income. The investment case rests on capital appreciation driven by freehold tenure, the TEL connectivity uplift, and the waterfront location rather than on rental returns.
What is the Kallang Alive masterplan and how does it affect properties in this area?

The Kallang Alive masterplan is a government-backed regeneration of approximately 90 hectares spanning the Sports Hub, Kallang Basin, and Tanjong Rhu Road waterfront (as of 2026-02). Key elements include the rebranding of Singapore Sports Hub as “The Kallang,” a new multi-purpose indoor arena, a themed hotel, and the Benaan Kapal Green riverside park with walking and cycling infrastructure. The February 2026 Tanjong Rhu Road GLS tender — the first in the area in 28 years — drew five bidders and closed at S$1,455 psf per plot ratio (CDL-Woh Hup JV), signalling that institutional capital views the precinct’s uplift as credible. For The Line, the masterplan is an area-wide demand driver that should sustain tenant quality and support capital values through at least the 2030 delivery window.
