Punggol Matilda is an upcoming district in Punggol. It was inspired by the Matilda House, a colonial house built in 1902 at Punggol’s waterfront which will be described below under Punggol’s History. This Punggol Matilda development will feature 8000 units of 3-4 room flats for about 28,000 residents. This new development will have flats built around an elevated landscaped deck with verandahs, colonnades and a pavilion surrounded by tree groves.
To connect residents of Punggol Matilda to the Punggol Waterfront there will be 3 connecting corridors. The central one will have a community street with a possible waterfront shopping centre, retail shops and F&B outlets to serve the residents and link them via a sheltered path to Punggol Waterfront. The other 2 corridors will be greenery boulevards lined with trees to resemble the olden day’s tropical fruit orchard the surrounded the old Matilda House.
