COASTAL TOWN OF THE 21ST CENTURY
Watertown is Punggol’s first residential-cum-commercial development that harnesses the historical and natural beauty of Punggol Waterway - the first-ever man-made waterway in Singapore. It will be the first luxurious waterfront development in Singapore that seamlessly integrates residential, shopping mall, Waterway Point and the Punggol MRT and LRT Stations. Watertown is directly located above the Waterway Point with a 10-screen IMAX cinema and a host of popular shopping and entertainment options.

UNVEILING THE FUTURE OF PUNGGOL
The North Coast will be developed into an innovative, economic corridor buzzing with ideas, creative design and new technologies. Spanning across Woodlands, Sembawang, the future Seletar Regional Centre as well as Punggol, this commercial belt will be touted as the North Coast Innovation Corridor.
The creative cluster within the North Coast Innovation Corridor will be developed at Punggol. This creative cluster is slated to become a vibrant and attractive area, with new exciting commercial activities.
Additionally, with the new Punggol Matilda estate plan announced, more new scenic waterfront spaces in Punggol will be introduced. With this development, residents in Watertown will have enhanced transport infrastructure, and new recreational spaces, entertainment and amenities.
Residents at Punggol can look forward to a greener town, when more green parks and green corridors are being integrated with the waterfront promenades. As HDB’s first Eco-Town, there will also be a sports complex, learning corridor and the Old Punggol Road will be kept as a linear 1.5km long Heritage Trail for all to enjoy leisure strolls, jogging and cycling amidst lush greenery. “Green fingers” – or paths lined with greenery – will extend to reach the coastal promenade and Coney Island.
A new Town Square will be developed in the heart of Punggol town for community gatherings and events, there will also be a new hawker centre and Community Club where residents can gather and organizes local events and activities. Additionally, Punggol also offers waterside dining lifestyle, similar to Clarke Quay, at restaurants like Bacon & Booze, Frienzie Bar and Bistro, and Wild Oats !
