Waterway Point (Chinese: 水滨坊) is an upcoming shopping mall located in the town centre of Punggol New Town, Singapore, just beside Punggol MRT/LRT station. The mall is part of Punggol's first integrated waterfront residential and retail development, Watertown and is scheduled to open in January 2016.[2] Upon completion, it will be the first major shopping mall in Punggol New Town.
History
The construction of Waterway Point was announced In October 2011 by property developer Frasers Centerpoint Limited. Jointly developed with Far East Organization and Sekisui House, the mall is part of the S$1.6 billion new Watertown development, which consists of a residential component featuring over 900 units comprising suites, SOHO apartments, sky patios, and condominium apartments.[2]
In October 2012, Frasers Centerpoint Limited announced that it has secured two anchor tenants, NTUC FairPrice Finest and Shaw Theatres. The FairPrice Finest outlet at Waterway Point will be the twelfth FairPrice Finest outlet in Singapore, and the third 24-hour Finest outlet while the Shaw Theatres outlet at Waterway Point will be Singapore's first basement cinema.[3]
In August 2015, Frasers Centrepoint Limited announced that the mall is 90 percent leased, six months prior to its estimated opening. The mall will have over 150 fashion and lifestyle brands, alfresco and thematic dining concepts, entertainment and enrichment facilities and day-to-day activities. It will also have a dry and wet playground on the second floor, overlooking the Punggol Waterway.[4]
Facilities
Waterway Point comprises 4 levels inclusive of 2 basements, and has a tenant mix of approximately 30% F&B, 43% retail, 15% entertainment, 12% others (education institutions, banks, civic & community amenities such as a library). It 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 boasts the first ever suburban late-night shopping, alfresco dining and entertainment concept by the waterfront.[3]
The mall has a “24 Hour Basement” level at Basement 2, with FairPrice Finest supermarket, which occupies 30,000 square feet of retail space and Shaw Theatres, featuring Singapore's first basement cinema with an IMAX theatre occupying 32,500 square feet of retail space with an estimated 1,000 seats anchoring the activities round-the-clock, complemented by various dining and entertainment outlets.
