The station on the North East Line took four years to design and six years to build.
SINGAPORE – At the new Punggol Coast MRT station, each of the 11 huge columns in the concourse branches into beams across the ceiling, much like the sprawling roots of mangrove trees.
The station was designed by the Land Transport Authority , and its construction was jointly managed by LTA and JTC Corporation, the master planner and developer of the PDD. Passengers who cycle can make use of six bicycle parking areas around the PDD, with a total of 1,212 spaces, including two at the station’s entrances that have 300 spaces in total. Of the six bicycle parking areas, three with more than 600 spaces in total have facilities such as shower cubicles and lockers, JTC said.
Construction began in 2018, in tandem with the development of the PDD. Architectural work on the interior, such as ceiling, floor and wall finishes and platform seating, started in 2022 and was completed in 2024. Architects and engineers involved in the project told reporters that by integrating the station and the PDD, they managed to optimise land use and save time and resources during construction.
