History
Marina East station first appeared as "Gardens Bay East" station (code TE22A) in the 2018 edition of the MRT/LRT System Map, published on the Land Transport Authority (LTA) website. This station was intended to be a shell station that is built alongside Stage 4 of the Thomson-East Coast Line. This station was not officially announced, except for its brief appearance on the new system map which also featured the confirmed route of the Jurong Region Line. This station was removed from the system map several days after its first appearance.

In January 2019, the station was announced as "Marina East" and will open in 2025, in tandem with the Founders’ Memorial and Singapore's diamond jubilee also known as SG60. The finalised name has yet to be confirmed. The TE22A station code for this station was also confirmed.

Contract T302 to convert the TEL facility building currently being constructed at Bay East Garden into the new station was awarded to China Railway First Group Co., Ltd for approximately $242.4 million.
