Punggol Container Park tenants asked to leave as early as Oct. 31, land to be returned to SLA for future residential development
End of an era.
Punggol Container Park, a venue featuring food and drink establishments housed in repurposed shipping containers, is set to close and return the land to the Singapore Land Authority (SLA) by the end of October. This decision comes after the landowner confirmed that the site is required for future residential development.
Several tenants at the park have been informed of their impending relocation. For instance, The Smok Hous, a halal smokehouse, was given until October 31 to vacate after it learned of the news in early August. Similarly, Filipino restaurant Tara Na, which opened four months ago, was also given an Oct. 31 deadline despite signing a rental agreement until December 2026.
Other tenants, such as fitness gym Ark Bloc and billiard hall Punggol Billiard, have also been given limited information about their move-out dates, with some uncertain about their future plans. One long-time tenant, Whisk and Paddle, a cafe located in Tebing Lane, was initially unaware that they would need to vacate by Dec. 31 due to their contract stating an end date of Dec. 31.
City Sprouts, the landlord and tenant at Punggol Container Park, acknowledged the disruption caused by these closures and is working to provide tenants with as much notice as possible, even if it is more than the typical 60-day notice period. The company stated that the decision to return the land to SLA is not voluntary and is due to the landowner's requirements for future residential development.
