Waterway Point is an upcoming shopping mall located in the town centre of Punggol New Town, just beside Punggol MRT/LRT station. The mall will be Punggol's first integrated waterfront residential and retail development and is targeted to be completed in 2015.[2]

History

On October 25, 2011, property developer Frasers Centerpoint Limited announced that a new shopping mall would be built in Punggol. Jointly developed with Far East Organization and Sekisui House, Waterway Point which is part of the S$1.6 billion new Watertown development, will consist of a residential component which will feature over 900 units comprising suites, SOHO apartments, sky patios, and condominium apartments.[ 1]

Facilities

The mall comprises 4 levels inclusive of 2 basements, and has a tenant mix of approximately 30% F&B, 40% retail, 15% entertainment, 15% others (education institutions, banks, civic & community amenities such as a library). Waterway Point is also the first mall to be integrated with a town square and a visitors’ centre which will provide an avenue for residents and the public to learn more about the heritage of Punggol through exhibitions and civic and community events. The mall also features Singapore's first basement cinema inclusive of an IMAX hall with an estimated 1,000 seats and boasts the first ever suburban late-night shopping, alfresco dining and entertainment concept by the waterfront.

In October 2012, Frasers Centerpoint Limited announced that it has secured two anchor tenants, NTUC FairPrice Finest and Shaw Theatres. Waterway Point will feature a “24 Hour Basement” level, with FairPrice Finest supermarket and Shaw Theatres anchoring the activities round-the-clock, complemented by various dining and entertainment outlets. The FairPrice Finest outlet at Waterway Point will be the twelfth FairPrice Finest outlet in Singapore, and the second 24-hour Finest outlet[3]

Accessibility

Waterway Point is strategically located beside Punggol MRT/LRT station and Punggol Bus Interchange which is easily accessible by public transport. It will serve as the main shopping mall for residents of Punggol New Town once completed.
