HDB lofts are highly sought after in Singapore, but the star of the show in this apartment is its exclusive private terrace. This standout feature makes it one of only 14 such lofts on the island, offering a rare slice of outdoor living space.

You can step into an expansive terrace full of greenery and enjoy the gentle breeze of a top-floor unit, where the stresses of the day melt away.

The home features 3 generously sized bedrooms, each as spacious as the master—a rare find in flats where every square foot counts. One of these, a kids’ bedroom, even comes with a stylish feature wall.
Whether you’re a multi-gen family or a couple looking for a stay away from overcrowded neighbourhoods, this loft delivers a balance of modernity and peace that few other HDB units can offer.
Eco-living at its finest
Treelodge@Punggol isn’t just visually appealing━it’s eco-conscious too. They’ve been awarded the Green Mark Platinum and are HDB’s first eco-precinct development. What this means for the estate and its flats is nifty features such as solar panel roofs and motion-sensor lighting for efficient energy use.
Furthermore, a rainwater collection system waters the landscaping and even washes the corridors. It’s a win-win━residents benefit from sustainability initiatives that reduce environmental impact while cutting down on hefty utility costs.
Conveniently located with top amenities nearby
Living here means you’ll be spoiled for choice when it comes to nearby amenities. Waterway Point, a massive shopping mall just 7 minutes away, is home to major tenants like Shaw Theatres, Don Don Donki, and a 24-hour Fairprice Finest, along with numerous dining options.
The Punggol MRT Station and bus interchange are also within walking distance, offering excellent connectivity when you head out.
Eco-path in the development

For fitness enthusiasts, there’s no need to venture far for a workout either. The private jogging track that wraps around the development will allow you to stay active without technically leaving home. The upcoming Punggol Regional Sports Centre, which is only a 5-minute walk away, further adds to the area’s sports options with promises of a 5,000-seater stadium, swimming pools, water sports centre and archery field.
As for families with kids of school-going age, you’d be glad to note the proximity to several primary schools, such as Punggol View Primary, which is 180m away, and Edgefield Primary━a slightly further 680m from the estate. My First Skool preschool is also nearby for those who need to seek care for smaller children.
Rare $1.55m HDB penthouse loft in Punggol with private terrace
Priced at $1.55m, this rare 5-room penthouse loft works out to roughly $923/sqft, which is on the pricier side for an HDB unit. However, with its prime location near the MRT, unique design, substantial renovation, and the increasing appeal of Punggol as a lifestyle hub, buyers might view it as a relative bargain, considering we’re in the era of million-dollar HDB flats.

But if you are in the market for a similar Punggol property without the terrace, here’s another penthouse unit that’s up for grabs at a little more affordable $1.4m, with 1,603sqft of indoor living space.
