Location & Connectivity

Pinery Residences anchors at Singapore’s most infrastructure-dense eastern regional center—Tampines’ S$8 billion+ transformation from HDB heartland into integrated commercial, residential, and institutional hub. District 18’s strategic positioning delivers tri-directional connectivity: Downtown Line for rapid north-south MRT access, Pan Island Expressway and Tampines Expressway for vehicular east-west mobility, and future Cross Island Line integration for enhanced rail redundancy by 2032.

Direct MRT Integration

Pinery Residences doesn’t sit “near” Tampines West MRT—it integrates directly via sheltered underground linkway, delivering physical connection that only 6-8 Singapore condos achieve. From your residential lobby to Downtown Line platform: under 3 minutes without crossing roads, navigating outdoor walkways, traffic lights, or weather exposure. This isn’t marketing proximity—it’s URA-mandated integrated development where 10,500 sqm commercial podium connects seamlessly to MRT infrastructure, creating single continuous climate-controlled environment from your unit to train platform.

Schools Within 1km & Education Pathway

Three Quality Primary Schools Within 1km (Critical P1 Registration Advantage)

Pinery Residences’ positioning creates rare educational trifecta—all three schools within Home-School Distance Phase 2B priority boundaries:

• St. Hilda’s Primary School (640m, 7-min walk): Anglican mission school with strong academic reputation, values-based education, PSLE performance above national average. Morning school run becomes 7-minute walk—no vehicle dependency, safe pedestrian routes, children gain independence earlier.

• Tampines Primary School (850m, 9-min walk): Established township heritage, family-centric culture, mature teaching faculty. Comprehensive co-curricular programs spanning sports, arts, STEM enrichment. Trusted by multi-generational Tampines families.

For families with multiple children (different genders, learning styles), the cluster accommodates flexible schooling under one home location.
