The Sail @ Marina Bay: What Buyers Need to Know in 2026
Updated 2026-10-27
The Sail @ Marina Bay is a 1,111-unit waterfront condominium in District 1, completed in 2008 and still one of the tallest residential buildings in Singapore. With 137 units currently listed at an average asking price of S$2,700,119 and the URA Master Plan reshaping Marina South nearby, this is what the development looks like for buyers and sellers today.
What is The Sail @ Marina Bay?
The Sail @ Marina Bay is a 99-year leasehold condominium at 6 Marina Boulevard, developed by a joint venture between City Developments and AIG Global Real Estate. It was completed in 2008 and comprises two towers of 70 and 63 storeys respectively, making it one of the tallest residential buildings in Singapore at 245 metres. The development holds 1,111 units, with a unit mix skewed towards compact layouts: roughly 63 per cent are one-bedroom apartments, 25 per cent are two-bedroom, and 13 per cent are four-bedroom or larger. Facilities include multiple swimming pools, a gymnasium, tennis courts, sky terraces and function rooms spread across the podium and upper levels.
How much does a unit at The Sail @ Marina Bay cost?
The 137 units currently listed on Hombble carry an average asking price of S$2,700,119, with an average size of 1,214 square feet and an average of S$2,215 per square foot. Recent resale transactions in 2026 have ranged from around S$1,767 psf for smaller units to S$2,583 psf at the upper end, with a September 2026 sale closing at S$2,425 psf. Prices have appreciated roughly 12.7 per cent over the available transaction window, and the development averaged S$2,092 psf across 2026 sales to date.
On the rental side, the median monthly rent sits at around S$5,750 based on 193 contracts in the past six months, which points to an indicative gross yield of about 5.6 per cent. That yield reflects the high proportion of compact one-bedroom units, which tend to attract CBD professionals on shorter leases and command stronger rental returns per square foot than larger formats.
Is The Sail @ Marina Bay well connected by MRT?
Yes. Downtown MRT station on the Downtown Line sits just 140 metres from the development, roughly a two-minute walk. From Downtown station, residents can reach Bugis in three stops, Botanic Gardens in seven, and connect to the Circle Line without leaving the platform. Raffles Place MRT, where the North-South and East-West lines cross, is about a ten-minute walk or one stop away on the Downtown Line via Bayfront.
Bayfront MRT, also within walking distance, serves the Downtown and Circle lines and sits directly beneath Marina Bay Sands. For drivers, the development fronts Marina Boulevard, giving direct access to the Marina Coastal Expressway and the East Coast Parkway. The CBD location means most office commutes within the downtown core are walkable.
What amenities and schools are nearby?
Daily essentials are well covered. Cold Storage branches operate in both Marina Bay Sands and Suntec City, and NTUC FairPrice outlets are within reach in adjacent neighbourhoods. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, a short walk south, houses over 170 retail stores alongside a wide spread of restaurants. One Fullerton and Customs House on the waterfront offer more relaxed dining. Lau Pa Sat, one of Singapore's best-known hawker centres, is roughly 600 metres away on foot.
For families, the school options require some planning. The nearest primary schools are Cantonment Primary School at about 2.4 kilometres and River Valley Primary School at about 2.8 kilometres, both outside the one-kilometre priority enrolment band. HWA International School operates a campus at Marina Square for families seeking an international curriculum. Secondary and junior college options, including Outram Secondary School at under two kilometres, are more accessible, but families with primary-age children should factor in the commute.
What is the outlook for Marina Bay property?
The URA Master Plan 2025, gazetted in December 2025, designates Marina South as a major transformation area. The plan calls for roughly 10,000 new homes across 45 hectares immediately south of The Sail, including a mix of public and private housing. One Marina Gardens, the first residential project in that precinct, is expected to complete around 2029. A new pedestrian bridge linking Marina Centre to Bay East Garden is also slated for 2029, and the Marina Bay Sands expansion will add further hotel, retail and entertainment capacity to the district.
For existing owners at The Sail, this pipeline cuts both ways. New supply will eventually add competing stock, but it also brings more residents, more amenities and stronger transport links to a precinct that has historically felt more commercial than residential after office hours. The lease, which started in 2002 and now sits at roughly 75 years remaining, is a factor that buyers should weigh against freehold alternatives in the core central region. That said, the rental yield, the MRT access and the district-level investment make The Sail a development that continues to hold its ground in Singapore's CBD market.
