With the newly opened Tanjong Katong MRT station (TE25) just a five-minute walk away, residents enjoy unbeatable commuting convenience. For families with children, choice schools are also located within proximity. Emerald of Katong‘s key selling point is its proximity to the Tanjong Katong MRT station (TE25) on the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL). The TEL reduces travel time to key leisure and business nodes such as Gardens By the Bay, Marina Bay, and Orchard by up to 50 percent. Commuters can easily access major train lines with various interchange stations such as Woodlands MRT station (NS9/TE2), Caldecott MRT station (CC17/TE9), Stevens MRT station (DT10/TE11), Orchard MRT station (TE14/NS22), Outram Park MRT station (EW16/ NE3/TE17), Marina Bay MRT station (NS27/TE20/CE2), and the upcoming Sungei Bedok MRT station (TE31/DT37) along the TEL. Upon full completion in 2026, the TEL is estimated to enhance travelling convenience for about 1 million commuters daily and improve congestion on the heavily used East-West Line (EWL) and North-South Line (NSL). Those driving can conveniently access arterial roads and expressways such as Mountbatten Road, the East Coast Parkway (ECP), and the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE). These routes connect conveniently to the Changi Airport and the Central Business District (CBD).

Sim Lian Group Limited is an established property development and construction company with an impressive portfolio comprising residential, commercial, industrial, retail, and mixed-use development projects. Notable projects under their belt include Clover by the Park, The Botany at Dairy Farm, The Lincoln Residences, Viz at Holland, Parc Lumiere, and The Amery. Sitting on a site area of approximately 221,436 sq ft, Emerald of Katong houses 846 residential units across six tower blocks ranging from 18 to 21 storeys high. Further immersing residents into the rich heritage of the Katong area, the development is also flanked by rows of distinct shophouses on each side. Units range from 1 to 5-bedders and penthouse units to cater to a wide range of buyer profiles. All residential units are strategically designed for functionality and efficient space use. Layouts are also maximised to enhance natural light flow and ventilation in all homes. The development’s location in the heart of Jalan Tembusu also serves residents with unblocked views over the exclusive Goodman and Wilkinson landed enclaves as well as the Singapore Sports Hub. The completion of the TEL will also further increase connectivity in the area. The opening of new MRT stations at Katong Park, Tanjong Katong, Marine Parade, and Marine Terrace enhances connectivity to the central and downtown regions for those residing in the east. This significant increase in connectivity in the area may boost capital appreciation of properties such as Emerald of Katong. Furthermore, the planned relocation of Paya Lebar Airbase in the 2030s will free up five times the land area of Toa Payoh to make way for a commercial hub with jobs and amenities. In time to come, this can potentially drive up rental demands for housing in nearby neighbourhoods so homeowners can enjoy increased rental yields in the future. Sim Lian Group secured the site with a winning bid of $828.8 million, which works out to $1,069 psf per plot ratio (psf ppr). While many new condo launches in D15 also offer residents luxurious living on the city fringe, Emerald of Katong is a cut above the rest, given its proximity to the Tanjong Katong MRT station (TE25) on the TEL. As outlined in the Land Transport Master Plan, a direct MRT connection from Changi Airport to the city centre will be established by 2040. This would give residents a direct train ride to Singapore’s key aviation hub. On the other end of the TEL, the Woodlands North MRT station (TE1) will serve as a convenient interchange between the TEL and the upcoming Johor Bahru – Singapore Rapid Transit System (RTS) Link come 2026. Further developments of the TEL thus translate to increased convenience and connectivity for cross-border travels for those residing at Emerald of Katong. On the whole, as a newly launched condo in one of Singapore’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, Emerald of Katong presents an incredible investment opportunity for the future.
