Berlayar Rise is the largest project in the June 2026 BTO launch, with 1,976 units in 6 blocks ranging from 33 to 49 storeys. It's a Prime project in Bukit Merah, sitting on the former Keppel Club site as part of the Greater Southern Waterfront.
The project offers 2-Room Flexi, 3-Room, and 4-Room flats. It's bounded by Berlayar Street and Berlayar Drive, right next to Telok Blangah MRT on the Circle Line. Labrador Park MRT is also within walking distance.
The Name
"Berlayar" means "sailing" in Malay. It references Batu Berlayar, the granite outcrop at Labrador Park that guided maritime traders to Singapore as far back as the 14th century. "Rise" refers to the tall blocks, the tallest hitting 49 storeys, and the sky terraces and roof gardens that give residents panoramic views of the southern coastline and Sentosa.
Unit Mix
1,976 units across 6 blocks:
• 2-Room Flexi - for singles and elderly homeowners
• 3-Room - for young couples and small families
• 4-Room - for families wanting larger space and southern views
The staggered block heights, from 33 to 49 storeys, are inspired by Bukit Merah's sloping hills. The idea is a terraced skyline effect along the southern coast.
Facilities
• 3-storey preschool
• Residents' network centre
• Nature-themed playgrounds
• Fitness corners and hardcourt
• 6-storey MSCP with commercial spaces at ground level: supermarket, eating house, restaurants, cafes, shops
• Roof garden above the MSCP with fitness facilities and shelters
Connectivity
Telok Blangah MRT (Circle Line) is at the doorstep. Labrador Park MRT is also nearby. The Circle Line gives direct access to HarbourFront, Dhoby Ghaut, and Bishan, with interchanges to all major lines.
Major roads: West Coast Highway, AYE, and Keppel Road for drives to the CBD or Jurong. Bus services along Telok Blangah Way and from HarbourFront Bus Interchange.
Neighbourhood
• VivoCity and HarbourFront Centre for shopping
• Sentosa for beaches and attractions
• Mount Faber and the Southern Ridges for walks
• Labrador Nature Reserve for coastal park and WWII relics
A new food centre and market at Telok Blangah Beacon is expected by 2027.
Schools
• Blangah Rise Primary School
• CHIJ St Theresa's Convent
• Radin Mas Primary School
• CHIJ (Kellock)
Greater Southern Waterfront
Berlayar Rise is part of the Berlayar estate within the Greater Southern Waterfront, a 30km stretch of southern coastline from Pasir Panjang to Marina East. About 10 hectares (20% of the estate) is set aside for parks and open spaces. Four green corridors, each 30 to 60 metres wide, connect the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve, threading nature through the precinct.
The staggered building heights step down towards green spaces and ecological corridors to help bird movement. Coordinated roofscape and facade details create a consistent look across the estate.
Smart and Green Features
• Smart-Enabled Homes
• Smart Lighting in common areas
• Smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System
• Separate chutes for recyclable waste
• Regenerative lifts
• Bicycle stands
• EV charging provisions
• ABC Waters design features
Car-Lite Precinct
Berlayar Rise is a car-lite precinct. Parking is reduced, season parking is for residents only, and a second car gets charged a higher rate. Short-term visitor parking is available but limited. The idea is to push people towards public transport, which makes sense given the MRT is right there.
Prime Classification
As a Prime project:
• 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP)
• Subsidy recovery on resale
The longer MOP and subsidy recovery keep the flat affordable for the next buyer. Buyers should factor these in when planning. You can compare across Prime and Plus projects on our site.
Who Should Consider Berlayar Rise
• People working in the CBD or HarbourFront who want a short commute
• Couples and small families who want waterfront living with good connectivity
• Anyone who wants the Southern Ridges and Labrador Nature Reserve on their doorstep
For comparison, Lakeview Cascadia in Bishan is the other Prime option this launch with reservoir views, while Kebun Baru Breeze is a Plus option with a shorter MOP.
