More than 90 per cent of the outlets at the new food and beverage cluster at Punggol Point have been taken up, with tenants hoping it will become the next go-to seafood dining location after East Coast.

SINGAPORE: More than 90 per cent of the outlets at the new food and beverage cluster at Punggol Point have been taken up; three months after the site received its Temporary Occupation Permit in April 2014.

Tenants at Punggol Settlement hope it will become the next go-to seafood dining location after East Coast.

With a growing population in the area and more recreational facilities coming up, some tenants say they are not too concerned about the so-called far-away place, though others add the lack of public transport to the area is a concern.

Talks are ongoing to start a shuttle bus service from the nearby Punggol MRT station.

"Many of the tenants are already operating right now. The rest are finalising their renovations and they should be operating soon,” said Sean Fong, marketing agent of Punggol Settlement. He added that the public can experience “full seafront dining at all restaurant units."

"Many years back, there were a few popular restaurants here and they were selling seafood,” said Francis Ng, owner of House of Seafood. “I hope I can bring back those memories to those youngsters. A lot of youngsters are staying here, so I think there's a lot of potential."

Not many parking on the actual site but a huge open space at the left when arriving.

Only a single lane each direction, but should be crawling during weekend now.

 

Think will do well. Here so lack of food outlets, as long as decent food and market rate pricing will definitely attract people in the area.

Huh? Giant brand bicycles?

Or Giant supermarket? Don't fit the location there to have a supermarket.

Attract those private housing owners to do grocery shopping?

Think they would prefer Fair Price Finest or Market Place there instead

I think it's going to be mini-mart size kinda of a supermarket, given the unit space is not big.
