Watertown : Punggol Waterfront Living

[Agoodman]

The Watertown investors who zoomed in during pre-launch got their units between SGD 980 psf - SGD 1,100 psf.
Upon T.O.P. anywhere between SGD1,250 psf to SGD 1,400psf is a handsome return to the investors.
So wait for Q3 2016 when choice units are offloaded in tandem with the cashing-out frenzy.

In my opinion, Watertown is an ideal place for living long-term for reasons already clearly known.
One does not have to go very far for the same amenities enjoyed by more matured locations or even in the RCR.
Well of course, the pool of ever-ready detractors will choose to differ..( and I have been turning a deaf ear..)

Bro, can get good price don't hesitate ah - chiong ah!!!

Bors, you all seem to know watertown very well. All got units there is it. I just joined this forum and find out so many rich people. Wow!!!

This is a property forum and you are at the Watertown thread mah, so naturally, there will be forumers who knows about Watertown participating in this thread.

Key is that if you need information/advice about Watertown, you will be able to find it here.

In my opinion, units with full Waterway view will be the ones which are more desirable and can hold their value. The entire project has 992 units but only 160+ units have full Waterway view, about 17% only.

For now the closes comparable projects with Watertown will be the North Park resi on top of North Point City.

North Park resi is promoting a seamless connectivity, desired lifestyle n Iconic township.

The diff between these 2 projects are North Park resi has a integrated bus interchange n a integrated Community Cub while Watertown is seamlessly connected with LRT, the green n the waterway for cycling.

Quite misleading due to different ground levels.
The picture taken on 2 Aug was at street level (extreme right of cross section plan) i.e. 1st storey, which is above the commercial/carpark levels.
Now have reached the maximum of the commercial development (highlighted in orange).
The next level will be the beginning of the residential.

Picture from SF model may help to cross reference to actual construction progress.


A cross sectional model from SF showing the basement car park and 2 level of retail mall link to MRT/LRT Station.

SF model on condo tower.


I think this is the place to snap some close up picture on Watertown, and this staircase link direct to waterway.




Some nice Waterway picture found on the net to share.

There is a Town Hub beside Watertown which includes a community centre, hawker centre and regional library.

Ground breaking has been done for Punggol SAFRA clubhouse, wonder when will work start on the sports centre which is supposed to be beside ?

The Master plan indicates a possible location for Punggol town hub which is opposite the up n coming sports hub n Safra club, that's is a 1 LRT station away from central.

Waiting for further news on the hawkers as I saw soil testing was carryout opposite WT LRT track months ago, this piece of land was marked as mix dev n not sure it will include a hawker?

The town hub will be at the red area.

Not sure about the light blue area (commercial/residential) on the other side of the LRT track across from Watertown. Doesn't make sense to have another mall there.

Think they should build another mall, Punggol population is expanding.


NEA propose site for hawker back in 2012.

The empty land on the opposite side of WT separated by the MRT/LRT lines is slated for another mixed use residential/commercial project. There will be another mall planned. And FEO will ensure that the turf is theirs like what FRASERS did at North Point

Another mall ?

I think Punggol might be the only non regional centre that has more than 1 mall.

I was at Punggol a couple of days ago and saw that Watertown is still progressing slowly. The construction is still at level 2 except for one of the inner Sky Patio tower where it has reached level 4.

The shopping mall is the toughest construction period, once the residential units start it should complete in 24 months. Just received FE newsletter, TOP expected 4th quarter of 2016. Understand that Water Point Mall is expected to open earlier.

Nice pictures ! Thanks for the effort.

Saw from Skyscrapercity forum some pictures of Watertown's progress. It seems that the inner Sky Patio has reached 7 or 8 storey.
