NEARLY two-thirds of Punggol flats launched in the last decade have been completed so far, as the Government focuses its efforts on building up Singapore's north-east neighbourhood.
There have been 27,000 Punggol flats launched since 1998, out of which 17,300 have been completed.
The updated figures were announced lon Thursday night by Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean, at an exhibition showcasing the winning entries of the Punggol Waterfront Housing Design Competition.
The results were released to the media earlier this month. The winning entry, by international architectural firm Group8asia and local firm Aedas, features sky terraces and a resort-style environment.
This housing project of 1,200 units fronting an upcoming waterway is due to be launched by the middle of next year. It will be part of a cluster of an additional 21,000 housing flats and private homes.
Punggol has become a focal point again for the Government in recent years, as it is slated to evolve into a vibrant waterfront town.
