Singapore eyes tripling Punggol's size to have 96,000 homes

Find out which firms will benefit.

According to Maybank Kim Eng, Punggol has been identified to have more development potential under the Land Use Plan.

To be precise, Punggol is envisaged to have 96,000 dwelling units (mostly public housing) when fully developed, which will be triple its current size. 

Here's more from Maybank Kim Eng:

The Land Use Plan briefly introduced seven waterfront housing districts, which we expect to be incorporated into MP13, together with the planned 2km North East Line Extension catering to the growing population in Punggol.

The expected timeframe is over the next 15 years and beyond.

Far East Organization is currently building a 370,000-sq ft mall called Waterway Point, to be completed by 2015.

It will be the only notable retail mall in Punggol and we believe there is room for more, which should feature in MP13. This will again provide opportunities for CMA and SPH.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
