The City Transformation Around Aurea and Beach Road

The developer describes the site of Aurea as standing where the city’s transformation is converging. This guide keeps the developer’s own illustration apart from the plans that public agencies have published, and cites each one.

The Developer’s View of the Aurea Precinct

The developer’s illustrated map marks the districts it expects to change around Beach Road, and its brochure calls the location “a city in the city”, close to Marina Bay, the CBD and Orchard Road. The map is the developer’s own illustration and is not to scale; the sections below keep to what LTA and URA have published.

The North-South Corridor and Aurea

LTA describes the North-South Corridor as a multi-modal transport corridor that will enhance connectivity from the northern region to the city, serving towns from Sembawang and Yishun to Novena and Rochor. It expects the viaduct to open in phases from 2029 and the tunnel from 2031, with surface streets repurposed progressively (LTA). It adds to the expressway access the area already has through the East Coast Parkway, the Marina Coastal Expressway and the Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway.

Kallang Alive and the Kallang River Near Aurea

Across the water, URA’s Master Plan 2025 plans Kallang Alive as the heart of sport in Singapore: a car-lite, walkable precinct around the Sports Hub with an accessible waterfront (URA). Upstream, URA counts the Kallang River, Singapore’s longest river, among its identity corridors, with new developments along it expected to bring shops, eateries and landscaped frontages to the water (URA).

What This Means for Aurea Residents

For those living at Aurea, the plans add to a neighbourhood that is already well served by transport and food, with Kallang Riverside Park three minutes on foot. The location page carries the developer’s plans, and the Kallang Riverside guide and the Kampong Glam and Bugis guide look at the streets and the waterfront closest to home.
