That's right! Marine Parade is the first housing estate built on reclaimed land!
Marine Parade was originally named after a promenade near the sea along East Coast Road. Before land reclamation works started, the area was part of Katong and used to be a beach front. Land reclamation works began in 1966, and the first housing blocks were built on Marine Parade in 1972.
In recent years, Marine Parade has undergone a revitalization, with the development of new recreational facilities and the upgrading of existing ones. Today, Marine Parade is a vibrant and diverse estate with commercial, recreational, and leisure facilities woven amongst the housing developments.
The estate’s proximity to the sea also gives it a laid-back and relaxed feel. The Marine Parade area will also see the development of new transportation infrastructure - Marine Parade Estate will be served by 2 MRT stations along the new Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) by 2024, improving connectivity to the rest of Singapore.
