#159 Bayshore, MRT Premiums and New Launch Pricing in 2026

Bayshore, River Valley, Tanah Merah and other upcoming launches are influencing how buyers assess value in 2026. Rather than focusing only on headline land prices, the discussion looks at what matters more on the ground: MRT proximity, waterfront positioning, floor plan efficiency, entry quantum, and the township plans around each project.

In this episode of Nuggets on the Go, George Peng (Associate Investment Strategy Director), Ong Yu Rong (Associate Senior Investment Director) and Lee Jun Wei (Associate Senior Listing Manager) unpack why a higher PSF does not automatically mean a launch is overpriced, and why a lower entry price does not always signal better value. From Bayshore’s sea-facing appeal and future mall integration to the growing premium on sheltered MRT access, the conversation focuses on relativity, liveability, and long-term exit potential.

If you’re comparing new launches, planning for your own stay, or weighing value across districts, this episode offers grounded perspectives.
