LANDSCAPE EXCELLENCE

Landscape Aesthetic Values

The Poiz Residences is landscaped with lush greenery and has a number of garden facilities to offer residents a close-to-nature home living. Facilities are strategically located on the fourth storey so that they can be enjoyed with views as well as elevated from the hustle and bustle of the street level, and they are also specially designed to give residents a sense of comfort and relaxation.

Social & Cultural Values

In spite of Potong Pasir’s rapid development over the years, it seems to lack an iconic central destination – that combines major transport infrastructure with retail and recreational amenities – as found in most other residential estates. Strategically towering above the Potong Pasir MRT Station, The Poiz Residences is part of a mixed-use development that has become a definitive landmark of Potong Pasir where it sees a bustling confluence of residents, commuters, shoppers and visitors seeking live, work, play or travel options. The completion of The Poiz Residences and The Poiz Centre has added more vibrancy and excitement to Potong Pasir.

Liveability & Wellness

The lifestyle facilities of The Poiz Residences are strategically located on the fourth storey so that they can be enjoyed with views as well as elevated from the hustle and bustle of the street level. They include the BBQ Area, Clubhouse with Gym, Family Pavilion, Putting Green, Children’s Pool, Bubbling Water Play, Teppanyaki Pavilion, Sunrise Deck and more. There are also business-friendly facilities such as the Outdoor Meeting Lounge, as well as Coffee Lounge and Outdoor Chill Bar for casual discussions. Residents and visitors can also conveniently access The Poiz Centre for a variety of food-and-beverage options as well as lifestyle services.
