Highlights of the new Punggol Coast MRT Station
The Punggol Coast MRT station provides several benefits:
- Direct connection to the Punggol Digital District: It links the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and new commercial spaces. This creates a hub for innovation and education. The connection supports collaboration between academia and industry, fostering a vibrant ecosystem for talent and innovation.
- Improved accessibility: Commuters heading to the Punggol Digital District now save up to 15 minutes compared to previous routes. This shorter travel time attracts businesses, residents, and visitors, driving growth in the area.
- Future-proof design: The station is built to serve up to 42,000 passengers daily. It includes features for potential upgrades to handle increased demand as Punggol grows.
Enhanced convenience for commuters
Located at the end of the North East Line, Punggol Coast MRT reduces travel times to key destinations. Residents and workers now enjoy quicker commutes to Punggol Town Centre, Waterway Point, and other parts of Singapore. SIT students also benefit from a direct link to campus facilities, simplifying their daily journeys.
The station’s location improves access to recreational spots like Punggol Waterway Park and Coney Island. Families and outdoor enthusiasts can reach these destinations easily, promoting healthier, more active lifestyles.
Lifestyle boost with Punggol Coast Mall
Opening in March 2025, Punggol Coast Mall promises to transform the area into a bustling lifestyle hub. There will be over 120 establishments opening at the new mall. It will feature a wide range of retail outlets, dining options, and entertainment facilities. Located adjacent to the MRT station, the mall ensures seamless accessibility, making it a convenient destination for leisure and shopping.

The mall directly connects to the Punggol Coast MRT station through an open-air plaza. This plaza will host community events such as performances and pop-up bazaars, fostering a lively and engaging environment.
While the open-air design might raise concerns about comfort in Singapore’s tropical climate, it aligns with the energy-efficient ethos of the Punggol Digital District. Open-air spaces are part of efforts to reduce environmental impact. Individual stores, however, will feature air-conditioning, and the sheltered plaza is designed to be airy and well-ventilated.
Impact on property value in Punggol
The Punggol Coast MRT station and mall are expected to boost property values in the area significantly. Improved transport and lifestyle amenities make Punggol more attractive to homebuyers and investors. Properties near MRT stations and malls typically enjoy higher demand and prices. These developments position Punggol as a desirable choice for families, young professionals, and businesses.
To get a glimpse of what to expect, we look into the sale transaction trend in Punggol for the past 15 years. After the announcement of Waterway Point back in 2011, property prices in the area saw remarkable growth. Located next to Punggol MRT/LRT Station, the mall was built as part of Punggol’s first integrated waterfront residential and retail development, Watertown.
Since the announcement of this integrated development, per square foot (psf) rates in Punggol almost doubled over the years. This trend reflects how developments that combine convenience and lifestyle upgrades can transform property markets.
The integration with the Punggol Digital District further enhances the area’s appeal. As companies and educational institutions establish themselves in Punggol, demand for residential and commercial spaces will likely increase. The station and mall mark a pivotal moment in Punggol’s transformation into a thriving live-work-play destination.
Another major milestone in Singapore’s urban development
The opening of Punggol Coast MRT station aligns with Singapore’s vision for smart, sustainable communities. By integrating the station with the Punggol Digital District and Punggol Coast Mall, this development boosts economic growth, improves connectivity, and elevates urban living standards. It also reflects the government’s commitment to infrastructure investments that meet the evolving needs of residents and businesses.
The station features a modern design with wide platforms and barrier-free access to accommodate all commuters. Energy-efficient systems and sustainable building materials highlight Singapore’s dedication to environmental stewardship.
With its location, innovative features, and the upcoming mall, Punggol Coast MRT will transform connectivity, lifestyle, and property values in the north-east. Residents and commuters can look forward to faster journeys, better amenities, and enhanced quality of life. This station and mall are set to become cornerstones of Singapore’s urban development.
