Ripple Bay: Pasir Ris Waterfront Living With Cross Island Line Ahead
Updated 2026-11-11
Ripple Bay is a 679-unit leasehold condominium on Pasir Ris Link, completed in 2016 by MCL Land and situated a short walk from Pasir Ris Park and Beach. With the Cross Island Line set to bring Pasir Ris East MRT station to the neighbourhood by 2030, this stretch of District 18 is drawing fresh buyer attention.
What is Ripple Bay?
Ripple Bay is a 99-year leasehold condominium at Pasir Ris Link in District 18, completed in 2016 by MCL Land. The development comprises 679 units across eight blocks of up to 13 storeys, set on a generous site of roughly 291,000 square feet. Facilities include a 50-metre infinity pool, sky gym, sky lounge, tennis courts, a clubhouse, spa pool, beach volleyball court and teppanyaki outdoor dining areas.
The development sits on the eastern edge of Pasir Ris, closer to the coast than to the town centre. Pasir Ris Park and Beach are within walking distance, and Downtown East, the leisure and dining hub for the area, is roughly 700 metres away. White Sands Shopping Mall, with its FairPrice supermarket and other daily necessities, is a short bus ride to the west.
How do you get to and from Ripple Bay?
Bus 354 stops just outside the development and reaches Pasir Ris MRT on the East-West Line in four stops, with buses arriving every seven to eight minutes. For drivers, the Tampines Expressway (TPE) is accessible nearby, connecting to the rest of the island.
The bigger transport story is the Cross Island Line. Pasir Ris East station (CR4), the nearest future MRT stop, is targeted for completion around 2030 as part of Phase 1. Loyang station (CR3) will also serve this corridor. Once operational, the Cross Island Line will connect Pasir Ris directly to areas such as Ang Mo Kio, Sin Ming and Bright Hill without changing lines. Pasir Ris MRT itself is set to become an interchange station, linking the East-West Line to the new line.
How much does a unit at Ripple Bay cost?
Across the 26 live listings on Hombble, the average asking price is S$1,518,111 for an average size of 1,083 square feet, which works out to about S$1,441 per square foot. Transacted prices over the 12 months to October 2026 ranged from S$1,166 to S$1,721 per square foot, with a median of S$1,425 per square foot.
All 26 current listings are standard condominium units. Ripple Bay sits in a price band that is typical for 99-year leasehold developments in the outer regions of the East, where buyers trade proximity to the CBD for larger floor plates and waterfront surroundings. The development's 2016 completion means it still has roughly 89 years remaining on its lease.
Schools near Ripple Bay
Several primary schools serve the Pasir Ris area, including Elias Park Primary School, Meridian Primary School, Park View Primary School, Pasir Ris Primary School and White Sands Primary School. For secondary education, options within the neighbourhood include Hai Sing Catholic School, Meridian Secondary School, Loyang View Secondary School and Pasir Ris Secondary School.
Families considering Ripple Bay should check distances and priority admission phases directly with MOE, as the 1-kilometre and 2-kilometre home-to-school distances determine placement priority for Primary One registration.
What is planned for Pasir Ris in the coming years?
The URA Draft Master Plan 2025 earmarks several changes for Pasir Ris. A forested plot beside Ripple Bay and the neighbouring Seastrand development, near Jalan Loyang Besar and Pasir Ris Drive 4, has been identified as a potential site for future housing and is currently under study. A new neighbourhood near Sungei Loyang, which could include homes, commercial space, community facilities and a linear park along the river, is also being explored.
Near Pasir Ris MRT, the former bus interchange site has been set aside for a mixed-use development that could yield 580 to 650 condominium units and 18,000 to 23,000 square metres of retail space, along with a new community hub. These plans, combined with the Cross Island Line, point to a neighbourhood that is set to gain density and connectivity over the next decade.
Outlook for buyers and sellers
Ripple Bay's position is shaped by two forces: the arrival of the Cross Island Line, which will materially improve public transport access, and the URA's plans to add homes and amenities around Pasir Ris. Both factors tend to support demand, though new supply from future sites nearby could introduce competition.
For sellers, the period between now and the completion of Pasir Ris East MRT station in 2030 is one where anticipation of improved connectivity may support pricing. For buyers, Ripple Bay offers a relatively modern development with resort-style facilities at a per-square-foot price that remains below the island-wide condominium average, in a neighbourhood with clear plans for growth.
