On 15 August 2014, LTA announced that Marine Terrace station would be part of the proposed Thomson East-Coast line (TEL). The station will be constructed as part of Phase 4, consisting of 8 stations between Founders' Memorial and Bayshore, and is expected to be completed in 2023.[3][4]

The Contract T308 for the design and construction of Marine Terrace Station and associated tunnels was awarded to Ssangyong Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. – Hyundai Engineering & Construction Co., Ltd. Joint Venture at a sum of S$361 million on January 2016. Construction started in 2016, with expected completion in 2023.[5]
