EIGHT REASONS. ONE ISLAND.
Everything that matters. Nothing that does not. The Island Residences at Keppel Bay is defined by a set of irreducible advantages that no other condominium in Singapore can simultaneously claim.
THE ISLAND RESIDENCESOverview
A Collection Reserved for the Few
The Island Residences at Keppel Bay does not merely occupy a prestigious postcode. It occupies Keppel Island itself – a 5.3-hectare private island in Singapore’s southern waters, accessible only via the iconic Keppel Bay Bridge, yet connected to Shenton Way in under ten minutes.
This is the context in which The Island Residences must be understood. Not as a condominium with a good view – but as a residential address on an island that no future project can replicate.
Within this irreplaceable setting, Keppel Land has designed a collection of approximately 84 residences – sea-facing, low-density, and built to a standard that reflects four decades of waterfront mastery in this very precinct.
Project Highlights at a Glance
- Singapore’s only private island condominium address outside Sentosa
- 84 ultra-low-density residences – fewer units than any other Keppel Bay development
- Every unit is sea-facing
- 8-10 min drive to Shenton Way via AYE; 10-12 min to Marina Bay Financial Centre
- 6 parks within 2km including Henderson Waves, Labrador Nature Reserve and Southern Ridges
- Adjacent to Marina at Keppel Bay – Asia’s first PIANC Jack Nichol Award winner (2016)
- Within 8 min of Grade A offices housing Google, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, Pfizer and Samsung Asia
- Within the 2,000-hectare Greater Southern Waterfront – six times of Marina Bay

An Address With a Story Unlike Any Other
Keppel Island is not a new concept. The 5.3-hectare island operated as Keppel Shipyard until the year 2000. It was then transformed into Singapore’s most exclusive waterfront address – home to Marina at Keppel Bay, a collection of waterfront restaurants, and now The Island Residences.
To the best of available knowledge, The Island Residences is the only residential condominium on a private island in Singapore outside of Sentosa. The island itself spans 5.3 hectares. And the 84 homes of The Island Residences are the only condominiums on it.
In the world’s great cities, island addresses command a premium that cannot be replicated. Monaco’s Le Rocher. New York’s Roosevelt Island. London’s Docklands. Each carries the same irreducible logic: water on all sides, city within reach, and an exclusivity that no amount of money can simply build elsewhere. Keppel Island is Singapore’s version of this idea.

6 Parks & Nature Areas Within 2km
Few residential addresses in Singapore are embraced by nature from every compass point. The Island Residences sits at the centre of one of the city’s richest green corridors – six distinct parks and nature areas within approximately 2km.
To the North – Henderson Waves & Mount Faber
- Mount Faber Park – Approx 5 min drive. Singapore’s second-oldest park, 105m above sea level. Cable car to Sentosa. Panoramic harbour views.
- Telok Blangah Hill Park & Henderson Waves – 5-8 min drive. Singapore’s highest pedestrian bridge at 36m, spanning 274m. Distinctive Balau wood wave-shaped structure, lit with LED lights 7pm–2am nightly. 34-hectare park.
To the West – Coastal Reserves
- Labrador Nature Reserve – 8-12 min drive. Singapore’s only southern coastal reserve. Former WWII fort (1878) with original gun positions intact. Rich birdlife, coastal cliffs, mangrove ecology.
- Berlayer Creek Mangrove Boardwalk – One of two remaining mangroves on Singapore’s southern mainland.
On Your Doorstep
- Keppel Island Waterfront Promenade – Steps away. Coastal boardwalk with unobstructed South China Sea views toward Sentosa and the Southern Islands.
- Southern Ridges (9km trail network) – 5-10 min to trailhead. Connects five parks: Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill, Hort Park, Kent Ridge Park, and Labrador Nature Reserve.
Six parks. Nine kilometres of connected trails. Open sea. For residents of The Island Residences, this is not a weekend destination. It is Tuesday morning.
Clubs, Marinas & Country Clubs
| Club / Marina | Distance & Highlights |
|---|---|
| Marina at Keppel Bay | On Keppel Island, adjacent to The Island Residences. 168 berths, yachts up to 280 feet. Asia’s first PIANC Jack Nichol Award winner (2016). Home of KBSA – Singapore’s first RYA-certified sailing academy. |
| ONE°15 Marina Sentosa Cove | ~10 min drive. 270 berths, Platinum Gold Anchor standard. International Marina of the Year 2022 & 2023. |

Grade A Offices & the MNC Employment Catchment
Within 3 to 8 minutes of Keppel Island: over 4 million sq ft of Grade A and Grade A-equivalent office space, housing some of the world’s most recognisable corporations. The senior professionals at these organisations are precisely the demographic that has historically driven rental demand in the Keppel Bay precinct.
| Office Building | Distance | Notable Tenants |
|---|---|---|
| Keppel Bay Tower | ~3 min drive | 378,000 sqft Grade A. Singapore’s first Zero Energy commercial building. |
| Bank of America Merrill Lynch HarbourFront | ~3 min drive | Bank of America global support centre (1 of 3 worldwide). |
| HarbourFront Towers 1 & 2 | ~4 min drive | Twin 18-storey Grade A towers, sea views. |
| Mapletree Business City | ~6-8 min drive | Google, Deutsche Bank, Samsung Asia, Pfizer, Credit Agricole, Motorola Solutions, IATA |
| PSA Building | ~8 min drive | PSA International HQ (world’s 2nd largest port operator). |
FOUR REASONS THIS IS MORE THAN A HOME
1. The Island Address Premium
84 homes on a 5.3-hectare private island that cannot be expanded, replicated, or rezoned for higher density. Singapore’s most structurally scarce residential address outside Sentosa. Every future resale transaction benefits from a pool so thin it is, in practice, a seller’s market by design.
2. Supply Scarcity
Caribbean at Keppel Bay: 969 units. Reflections: 1,129 units. The Reef at King’s Dock: 429 units. The Island Residences: 84 units. The arithmetic of re-sale competition works decisively in favour of owners here.
3. Greater Southern Waterfront
The Island Residences sits within the 2,000-hectare Greater Southern Waterfront – six times the size of Marina Bay and twice the size of Punggol New Town. The first residential GLS site was awarded November 2025. HarbourFront Centre begins transformation into a 33-storey Grade A tower in H2 2026. The uplift has begun.
4. The MNC Tenant Pool
Within 3-8 minutes: Google Asia Pacific, Deutsche Bank, Bank of America, Pfizer, Samsung Asia, Credit Agricole, Motorola Solutions – all in Grade A offices at Mapletree Business City and HarbourFront. The senior executives at these firms are precisely the demographic that drives Keppel Bay rental demand.
“2,000 hectares. Six times the size of Marina Bay. Twice the size of Punggol New Town. The Greater Southern Waterfront is Singapore’s most consequential urban transformation since Marina Bay – and The Island Residences sits at its most established address.”
Greater Southern Waterfront – URA Master Plan
DEVELOPED BY KEPPEL LAND
Keppel Land does not need an introduction in Keppel Bay. They built it.
Caribbean at Keppel Bay (2004). Reflections at Keppel Bay (2013). Corals at Keppel Bay (2016). The Reef at King’s Dock (2024, sold 90%+ on launch weekend at an average of S$2,330 psf). And now, The Island Residences – the most exclusive addition to the portfolio.
Each development has been more considered than the last. The Island Residences – 84 homes on the private island the developer has owned for decades – is the result of that understanding arriving at its most refined conclusion.
| Development | Year | Key Facts |
|---|---|---|
| Caribbean at Keppel Bay | 2004 | 969 units – FIABCI Prix d’Excellence 2006 |
| Reflections at Keppel Bay | 2013 | 1,129 units – Daniel Libeskind – FIABCI Gold 2013 |
| Corals at Keppel Bay | 2016 | 366 units – Daniel Libeskind design |
| The Reef at King’s Dock | 2024 | 429 units – 90%+ sold at launch |
| The Island Residences | Upcoming | 84 units – Keppel Island – Singapore’s only private island condo outside Sentosa |
