Lets talk about NEW / FUTURE HDB developments in Punggol.

[tom]

HDB launched Punggol Spectra recently, introducing 2 rooms, 3 rooms and the usual 4 rooms. 
Punggol Spectra are bounded by Punggol Drive, Punggol Central, Edgefield and Edgedale Plains.

301 units 2 roomers ( 46 to 47 sq.m. ) cost $ 89,000 to $ 109,000.
285 units 3 roomers ( 69 sq. m.        ) cost $151,000 to $ 179,000.
556 units 4 roomers ( 94 to 96 sq.m. ) cost $234,000 to $ 293,000.

First time buyers with an average monthly household income of less than $5000 can apply for CPF housing grant of up to $40,000.

When HDB started it's building program in Punggol 21, it proudly introduced " bay" windows running from floor to ceiling,  the first in Singapore, happened to be in Punggol. HDB has put in great efforts in it's design, looking a bit different from other estates.

Due to advertisements on TV and the press, Singaporeans are attracted into Punggol Town. Others like the Permanent Residents, New Residents, whatever are also moving into Punggol.

Is HDB building  those 600 smaller units just to cater for the influx of PRS and new residents ? OR because Singaporeans are slowly ageing, most are selling their bigger flats and may move into smaller units ?

What do you think ?

Some more new BTO projects.
    
The Housing and Development Board (HDB) will launch another eight "build-to order" (BTO) projects for flats by the end of this year.

Two of these projects will be launch in Punggol by next month. Lets wait for further details.

At the same time, lets remind them to add more roads and more bus services, especially buses connecting Punggol North to Pasir Ris MRT station. As it is now, service 3 was packed after 6.30 AM.

Need residents to tell them everything

Housing project along Punggol Waterway to have eco-friendly features and resort-like designs.

A total of 1,200-unit waterfront project will be launched by middle of 2010.

More than 100 Architectural firms from Europe and Asia took part in the Punggol Waterfront Housing Design Competition and the winner is a joint venture  international firm known as Group8Asia and a local company known as Aedas.

" Selling prices of the proposed prefab units will be kept affordable " claimed HDB.

Hi All,

Although Im not new to this forum, I am to Punggol, will only move in once new flat is ready.

Couple of days ago I paid a visit to the housing site where the future Punggol Lodge, Vista and Damai etc will be. Very fast, front row flats of Damai, which is visible from the road already up to 10 levels.

Curious to know when the TOP likely to be, because I have a unit at Damai and am wondering if I should start selling my current flat since the HDB prices are so high now. I have heard that the first appointment date, assuming you submit the application today, will be in March 2010, about 4 months time and the final resale appoint will be two months thereafter. All due to the current high volume of transaction.

Cant wait to move, have been living in old flat, old estate for too long, cant wait ..

First thing I will do when I move to Punggol is to build my position as a Real Estate Agent, yes I am one of those pesky guys who go around inserting flyers at your front door

You be seeing lots of me some day.
