Matilda Court

Who’s it for?

Matilda Court is an HDB development that is a perfect choice for those that:

• Are looking for a modern and environmentally-friendly HDB flat that will MOP in 2022 
• Want to live in a family-friendly estate near good schools and have access to elderly care
• Enjoy both indoor & outdoor recreational activities and want to be near cool parks

Accessibility

Matilda Court is an HDB development along Sumang Lane and is part of the family of Matilda projects in Punggol along with Matilda Edge & Matilda Portico. The closest train station is the Soo Teck LRT station, which is about a 9-minute walk away. One stop away from Soo Teck station is the Punggol MRT interchange, which connects to the North East Line. Meanwhile, the nearest bus stop is After Sumang Lane and is just at the fringes of this HDB complex. 

Park connectors near this project allow residents to access the Punggol Waterway Park. The park spans approximately 4.2 kilometres and is full of green spaces, cycling paths, play equipment, and resting paths. In essence, it was designed to allow residents of the  Punggol area to enjoy large greenery along the scenic water frontage.  

For residents that drive, the Tampines Expressway (TPE) is right next to the car park block, making it easy for residents to access the Central Area as well as other parts of Singapore. In this case, Orchard is about 19 minutes away and Changi Airport is about 15 minutes away. Residents without cars but can drive will still be able to enjoy these conveniences as there is a dedicated Blue SG parking lot on the 1st floor of the car park.  

Features

Following the vision of establishing Punggol as an eco-town, Matilda Court was planned with environmentally-friendly features in mind. These include a separate chute for recyclable waste, a rainwater harvesting system to collect rainwater, and an ABC water feature to clean the rainwater and beautify the overall landscape.  

Motion-sensor lights are installed in common areas to help reduce energy consumption when not in use. Eco pedestals are also installed in each of the homes. These are small sinks on top of the toilet flush tank that allow you to wash your hands and have that water be used to flush down the toilet as well.

On top of its strategic location near Punggol Waterway, Matilda Court was developed with the idea of living amidst large greenery in mind. This is evident from the landscaping around the development and the roof garden above the 7-storey car park.
