Punggol has started its ground breaking ceremony today to start work on its 4.9km long promenade that will start from Punggol Point.

Today, the town has a population of 53,600 and this is projected to grow to 70,000 by 2011.

I have recently sold a 5-room Design and Built in Punggol Central, this has been one of the most discussed selling point on the transformation of Punggol. “This is coming, the second generation of Punggol residents will enjoy what has been a bare land transformed” as quoted by my owner.

Price has also steadily raised for Punggol HDB apartments with its promised plans from the Government to transform the whole estate into a beautiful waterfront town. As we can see, the estate is slowly maturing.
