The name is taken from the Punggol Coral Residents' Committee (RC), which manages a cluster of HDB flats near the station.[2]

Incidences

On 9 January 2020, at around 2.15pm, a crack was spotted on one of the elevated concrete slabs — known as plinths — on which the LRT’s light rail vehicles run. The “isolated” crack was located between the Riviera and Coral Edge stations. One platform has been closed early from 9pm to 4am for urgent maintenance, while operations continue as trains run on other platforms.[3]
