Long Island

You cannot buy Long Island. You already own the thing it will move.

Long Island is the largest coastal protection undertaking in Singapore’s history: around 800 hectares of new land planned along the East Coast to hold back a rising sea. No parcel has been sold, no tenure announced, and no cost published. Yet it will reshape the value of the property behind it for decades.

Dr. Clemen Chiang reads the public record so you don’t have to: ministerial answers, master plans, environmental studies, and the Coastal Protection Bill passed in March 2026 that puts new duties on landowners. He separates what has been decided from what has not, and shows you how to work out what it means for your own address.

Inside you will find how Singapore builds land and why this project is different; who pays for coastal protection and what the new law asks of owners; the cost figures that are on the record and the ones that are not; a complete buying section covering borrowing capacity, the four doors into property, upgrading, letting out, and one decision worked through end to end; and an Atlas Page to assess your own home against the waterline.

This book teaches you to compute, not to follow conclusions. Every rate and threshold moves with policy, so it points you to the authority and the documents you will sign yourself.
