Sources & Editorial Policy
Official project and neighbourhood references, with notes on dates, distances and forthcoming sales information.
Project information is drawn from developer announcements, government agencies and the institutions serving the neighbourhood. The references below provide the context behind the figures, timelines and practical guidance on this website.

Keeping information current
Information was reviewed on 17 October 2026. This is a dated editorial review, not a live availability feed. We distinguish historical milestones, announced targets, preliminary figures and unreleased sales material. Check the latest official materials before making a purchase decision.
Original buyer guidance is editorial analysis, not a developer specification, valuation or guaranteed investment result. The transport diagram is original artwork and is not to scale. No development rendering or residential floor plan is represented as available.
To report an error, contact Melvin with the page and an authoritative supporting document. Please include the relevant source so the information can be checked.
Neighbourhood evidence and distance method
Neighbourhood entries were checked on 17 October 2026 against the destination’s first-party contact/directions page or an official agency directory: MOE-school websites, NYP, SIT, AIS, Stamford American, mall operators, NEA, NHG/SGDI, Sengkang General Hospital, NParks, ActiveSG, onePA and NLB. Each directory entry links to its source.
Official P1 school classifications
SLA OneMap SchoolQuery uses the official residential building outline and school boundary for home–school distance. Its June 2026 data relates to P1 entry in 2027. The development’s applicable residential address and building outline remain unconfirmed, so no primary school is assigned an official distance band here. Recheck the service for the relevant registration year once those details are available.
How directory distances are measured
For non-P1 directory context, distances use a Hougang MRT area reference at 1.3713, 103.8925 and destination map coordinates. First-party map coordinates were available for Hougang Mall, Montfort Secondary, Australian International School, Stamford’s Woodleigh campus, Punggol Community Club, Hougang Sport Centre and Punggol Park. Other destination coordinates were cross-checked against OpenStreetMap records and the institution’s official address or campus description. Distances are calculated with a great-circle formula and rounded to 0.1 km.
These are approximate marker-to-marker straight-line distances. They are not gate-to-gate routes or an official measurement by a destination operator. Larger campuses and hospital complexes can have several entrances. Primary-school admission categories were not calculated from these points. The map and directory do not identify a final residential lobby or surveyed project boundary.
Transport and time-sensitive amenities
LTA’s rail network, its 107/107M amendment and arterial-road information support the transport context. SBS Transit’s route pages support the selected service and stop details. Travel times, final project-driveway access and temporary road/rail arrangements require a current journey check.
Cleaning closures, library refresh arrangements, sports-facility availability, campus gates and retail tenants are time-sensitive. The guide links current official notices and avoids turning a public place into a promise of ongoing access or an on-site private facility.
