Three New East MRT Stations Open on 26 December 2026
The Land Transport Authority has confirmed that Sungei Bedok, Bedok South and Xilin stations will start passenger service on 26 December 2026. Transport Minister Jeffrey Siow announced the date on 4 November 2026.
For home buyers, the bigger question is simple: which new launch condos sit closest to these stations? This guide answers that, station by station.
In 30 Seconds
- Sungei Bedok becomes an interchange between the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) and the Downtown Line (DTL). It is only the second TEL–DTL interchange, after Stevens.
- Bedok South completes the TEL. Xilin extends the DTL towards Changi Business Park and Changi South.
- Bagnall Haus is the new launch nearest the Sungei Bedok interchange, with only 3 homes left.
- A large mixed-use project is planned directly above Bedok South station at Bayshore Drive, with about 1,280 homes.
- Vela Bay at Bayshore station is one stop from Bedok South. Bedok Rise Residences at Tanah Merah is expected to preview in March 2027.

Near Sungei Bedok Interchange
Bagnall Haus
Bagnall Haus is a freehold development by Roxy-Pacific Holdings on Upper East Coast Road, on the former Bagnall Court site. It sits right beside the new Sungei Bedok interchange, so residents get both the TEL and the DTL from one station. Bedok South station is also nearby.
The remaining homes are two 1 Bedroom + Flexi units and one 4 Bedroom unit. Every other unit type is sold. Because the MRT opens about two years before vacant possession, buyers will move in with the interchange already running.

Bayshore Drive Development (above Bedok South MRT)
URA’s Bayshore Drive site is a mixed-use plot planned to integrate with Bedok South station, a bus interchange and retail space. It can yield about 1,280 homes. A consortium led by Frasers Property won the tender in July 2026 with a bid of about $2.13 billion, or around $1,323 psf ppr.
The project name, prices and launch date have not been announced yet. If you want a home with the MRT directly downstairs, this is the one to watch. We will publish a full page once the developer releases details.
Get notified on WhatsApp →Vela Bay
Vela Bay is beside Bayshore station (TE29), which is one stop west of Bedok South and two stops from the Sungei Bedok interchange. Once the new stations open, Vela Bay residents can reach the Downtown Line with a single change at Sungei Bedok. The project has about 515 homes, and over 70% of units face the sea.
Our latest update showed about 75% sold, with 127 units left as at 24 October 2026.

Bedok Rise Residences comes from the Bedok Rise GLS site next to Tanah Merah station on the East-West Line. It is roughly 1km from Bedok South station. Allgreen won the site in November 2025 at $1,330 psf ppr, and it can yield about 380 homes. Tanah Merah is also planned to become a TEL interchange by the mid-2030s.

There is no new launch condo right beside Xilin today. The area around it is mainly landed housing, older condos, and the Changi South and Changi Business Park employment areas. The Xilin extension still matters for buyers along the rest of the Downtown Line, because it gives them a direct ride east without changing lines.
Pinery Residences
Pinery Residences is an integrated development at Tampines Street 94, linked to Tampines West station on the Downtown Line. From 26 December 2026, residents can stay on the same DTL train to Xilin for Changi South and Changi Business Park, and on to Sungei Bedok to change to the TEL.

Our Takeaways
- Doorstep supply is thin. Bagnall Haus is nearly sold out, and the Bayshore Drive project above Bedok South has no launch date yet. Buyers who want to live right next to one of the new stations have few choices in the near term.
- Land prices are setting the floor. Recent eastern GLS sites closed between about $1,323 and $1,537 psf ppr. Future launches nearby are likely to price above today’s older resale stock.
- The interchange changes the commute. Upper East Coast and Bayshore residents gain a direct line into the city on the TEL and a direct line to the Changi employment belt on the DTL.
- Check the resale benchmark. Compare new launch prices against nearby resale and rental data on CondoListing.sg before you decide.
- Upgrading from HDB? Work out your financing and timeline first. PatKoProperty.com has guides on HDB upgrading and loans.
