My UNBIASED Thoughts On The First Bayshore Land Parcel | Vela Bay New Launch Review |

Marcus Luah 1.7K 22 6 Feb 2026

Video description from @marcusluahsg

In this video, I share my honest thoughts on Vela Bay and why this new launch has become such a polarising project for buyers. We’ll walk through a quick project overview before addressing the real reasons many buyers are hesitant, including concerns around estate maturity, first-launch risk, and whether the PSF is too high for an OCR development.

I’ll also break down the price matrix and compare Vela Bay against nearby and recent upcoming launches like Pinery Residences, using Seaside Residences as a key pricing benchmark. Beyond opinions, we’ll look at actual past and present transactions, and assess future supply from upcoming GLS sites around Bayshore Drive and Bedok Rise to understand where price support may come from.

Finally, I’ll explain why some buyers are still choosing to enter early, including the first-mover advantage, mass appeal, and the lifestyle factors tied to seafront living. If you’re deciding whether Vela Bay makes sense for you — whether to buy now, wait, or skip — this video will help you form a clearer, more grounded view before making your decision.
