Two Punggol developments were launched in the August 2018 BTO sales exercise. Punggol Point Woods and Punggol Point Cove sit along the northern fringes of the town, adjacent to the upcoming <a href="https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/new-punggol-digital-district-create-28000-jobs-open-gradually-2023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Punggol Digital District</a>. Some stacks in Punggol Point Cove has views to Coney Island.

<h2>AT A GLANCE</h2>
<h3>SITE VISIT</h3>
Most of the area was closed off and under construction when we visited on a weekday evening. As you can see from the photos, the area is still relatively undeveloped with land only just starting to be cleared away.
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79124" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Land-clearing-way-for-Punggol-BTOs.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="450" />Land clearing way for Punggol BTOs</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79125" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Punggol-Way-road-near-Punggol-Point-Woods-and-Cove-BTO.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="450" />Punggol Way</p>

<h3>TRANSPORTATION</h3>
In terms of transportation, there will be bus stops (with feeder services) located along the new Punggol Road and along Punggol Way. Currently, bus 84, which reaches Punggol MRT station, stops in this area.

There will be a Punggol Coast MRT station located right next to the BTOs (Google estimates a walking distance of approximately 5 minutes from either BTOs). This station will be part of the North-East line and is expected to start operations in 2023, which is when the BTOs will be done. It will take over Punggol MRT station as the terminus along this line.
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79126" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Punggol-BTO-aerial-view-Google.jpg" alt="" width="778" height="488" />Punggol BTO aerial view Google</p>
For drivers, there might be an even quicker way to access the TPE in the future. For now, it takes 5 minutes to reach the expressway.
<h3>AMENITIES</h3>
There is a lot of excitement surrounding the two Punggol BTOs, and this is largely attributed to the fact that they are located right next to Punggol Digital District.

It was earlier announced this year that a part of Punggol North will be designated as a mixed-use business district and will host a cluster of cyber-security and technology firms come 2023. The smart and integrated district will also see a wide range of leisure, dining and retail options including a hawker centre, childcare centres, a community club as well as a new pedestrianised street to link residents to the Punggol waterfront areas. The area will also be home to Singapore Institute of Technology’s new campus.

A part of Punggol Point Woods will also be set aside for the Heritage Trail, a green zone which links up Punggol Waterway to Punggol Jetty, giving future residents easy access to all parts of Punggol town.

There will be a supermarket and an eating house at the intersection of Northshore Drive and Punggol Road, within the site of Punggol Point Woods itself. These on-site amenities will benefit residents of both BTOs thanks to the proximity of the developments.
<h3>DEVELOPMENT LAYOUTS</h3>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79127" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Development-Layout-Punggol-Point-Cove.jpg" alt="" width="718" height="563" />Punggol Point Cove features a more organic layout arrangement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79128" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/Development-Layout-Punggol-Point-Woods.jpg" alt="" width="650" height="552" />Stacks in Punggol Point Woods are arranged in a boxier layout.</p>
Looking at the site plans for both Punggol Point Woods and Punggol Point Cove, you’ll see that the latter features a more organic flow while the latter has a boxier layout. Cove’s layout results in apartments set further apart from one another. In Woods, the stacks are built closer to one another with lesser breathing room. There are also a lot of green spaces within Punggol Point Cove itself. Coupled with the fact that it’s located next to the sea, it might lend Cove a cooler overall environment.

<em><strong>Privacy </strong></em>

[gallery cstype="gallery_lightbox" columns="1" size="full" ids="79130"]

446A: 1011, 1003
446B: 1039, 1021, 1023

[gallery cstype="gallery_lightbox" columns="1" size="full" ids="79132"]

448A: 1105 (for the common bedrooms), 1107
448B: 1141, 1143

[gallery cstype="gallery_lightbox" columns="1" size="full" ids="79133"]

448A: 1091, 1093, 1095, 1097, 1099, 1101, 1103, 1105

&nbsp;
<h2><strong>Other considerations: </strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">Most of the units at Punggol Point Cove are likely to have either a verdant view or a view of the sea thanks to the landscape deck and the proximity of the development to the sea. However, units along Punggol Way will probably face the developments (most likely facing the market village) that are part of the digital district.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">Take note that <strong>448A</strong> and <strong>448B</strong> have shorter stacks compared to the rest of the blocks. Their highest floors are only 8 or 14, compared to the other blocks with stacks reaching either 21, 20, 22 or 23.</li>
 	<li style="text-align: left;">If you’re opting for a <strong>3-Gen flat</strong>, keep in mind that there are 2 different layouts:</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79138" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/3GEN-flat-at-Cove.png" alt="" width="772" height="489" />A conventional BTO layout with the common bedrooms and the master bedroom separated by the living and dining area.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-79139" src="https://d213h1b7vxzzl3.cloudfront.net/editor/3GEN-Flat-for-Cove-2.png" alt="" width="774" height="555" />This layout features a more unique layout, with the kitchen set in the middle of the apartment. Opt for this if you want an open kitchen.</p>

<strong>Away from traffic and human activity zones</strong>

Punggol Point Woods is pretty densely packed, with most stacks located close to human activity zones. But there are some stacks that are quieter than others:
