Marina East (GPS: 1.29127, 103.8709) is a 140-hectare piece of reclaimed land in Singapore. Originally part of the New Downtown, it was eventually developed into a separate planning area.
Marina East extends south from the headland called Tanjong Rhu. The East Coast Parkway separates it from the rest of Tanjong Rhu. A major infrastructure development in this area is a new expressway, the Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE), which will pass through Marina East to connect with Marina South and Straits View, via an undersea tunnel to the south of Marina Barrage.
Apart from the expressway, much of Marina East is occupied by the NTUC Club golf course. This is talk that when the lease on the golf course expires, the land will be used to develop a Disney theme park. At time of writing (August 2012), nothing much has materialized.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
