Project Snapshot

Developer: Qingjian Realty

Location: Jalan Loyang Besar, Pasir Ris / Tampines boundary

Type: Executive Condominium (EC)

Estimated Units 748: units across 16 blocks (11 & 12 Storey) 

Connectivity: Near Jalan Loyang Besar, access to major expressways (TPE, ECP), and proximity to Pasir Ris Park and coastal amenities


Location & Connectivity

  • Nearby Amenities: Coastal Cabana benefits from being close to Pasir Ris Park, White Sands Shopping Centre, Pasir Ris Mall, and Downtown East. These offer leisure, dining, shopping, and entertainment options for residents. 

  • Transport Links:

    • By road: Good connectivity via Tampines Expressway (TPE), East Coast Parkway (ECP), etc.

    • Public transport: While not immediately adjacent to an MRT station, buses and feeder services are likely to serve the area; the Pasir Ris MRT station is accessible via connecting transport. Some discussions from forums suggest walking to the station is not ultra-short. 


Unit Mix & Design Considerations

  • The development offers a mix of unit sizes (2- to 4-bedroom options are expected), designed to suit different household types — from couples or small families to multi-generational households. 

  • With 14 blocks of 16 storeys, the layout is aimed to give good views, likely of greenery or even sea depending on orientation. Privacy, ventilation, and sea or park vistas are likely selling points given coastal location. 


Facilities & Lifestyle

  • Leisure & “coastal” amenities: The coastal location means you’re near parklands, beaches, coastal walkways (Pasir Ris Park), and recreational spaces. Great for those who appreciate nature and outdoor activities.

  • Everyday conveniences: Proximity to shopping (White Sands, Pasir Ris Mall), groceries, schools, etc. reduces commuting for daily life essentials.

  • Transport convenience: For frequent flyers or those who travel often, Coastal Cabana offers relatively easy access to Changi Airport via major expressways. 


Advantages & Trade-Offs

👍 Pros

  1. Coastal & Nature Appeal: Living near the sea or coastal park is a strong draw in Singapore, especially for those wanting “resort-style” living or calm surroundings.

  2. Good Developer Reputation: Qingjian has a track record, giving reassurance on build quality, design, and delivery.

  3. Balanced Living: The project sits in a sweet spot between nature, leisure, and access to urban infrastructure.

👎 Cons / Considerations

  1. Distance to MRT: If not within very close walking distance, reliance on buses/feeder transport might be required; daily commuting for MRT users might be somewhat less convenient.

  2. Pricing vs Value: As an EC, cost-savings exist versus fully private condos, but value depends heavily on price per sq ft, grants, etc. Buyers should compare closely with nearby ECs and private condos.

  3. Future development & infrastructure: The value may depend on future infrastructure (new MRT lines, public transport expansion, amenities) being built as promised.


Who This Is Best For

  • Young families wanting more space but still within reach of amenities.

  • Upgraders looking to move from HDB into something more premium without the full private condo prices.

  • Nature lovers / outdoor enthusiasts who want regular access to parks/beach/coastal walks.

  • Frequent travelers or people working near Changi Airport or in eastern Singapore (Changi Business Park etc.).


Verdict

Coastal Cabana EC presents a compelling option if you value coastal living with good connectivity and want a balanced lifestyle. Its appeal lies in its natural environment, leisure proximity, and a developer with experience. If the price, grant eligibility, and transport connections meet your expectations, it could offer very good long-term value.
