WHEN the original Punggol 21 vision was unveiled 13 years ago, enthusiasts who bought homes in the sleepy estate became disillusioned when the model waterfront living failed to materialised and facilities were slow to appear. But then the dream was revived with a bang two years ago - and since then, interest has been strong, with recent HDB Build-To-Order (BTO) projects seeing robust demand. Yesterday...
