Project Highlights

Why this site only comes around once

The first private residential GLS plot launched in Hougang in over a decade — and it landed on the single best parcel in the town centre.

I

The largest mall in Hougang, downstairs

Around 300,000 sq ft of net lettable retail and lifestyle space beneath the homes — positioned by the developers as the largest mall in Hougang and a key anchor for the precinct's next phase of growth. Developed and held by CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, CapitaLand's flagship retail REIT.

II

A true integrated transport hub

Not "near the MRT" — built over it. The development integrates Hougang MRT station and the new Hougang bus interchange, with a town plaza at street level. Groceries, trains, buses and dinner without crossing a road.

III

The interchange effect

From 2030, the Cross Island Line turns Hougang into a two-line interchange — one of only four interchange stations on CRL Phase 1, alongside Pasir Ris, Ang Mo Kio and Bright Hill. You buy on one line; you take keys on two.

IV

A civic heart, not just a condo

Planned as a major civic hub for the precinct — a sheltered public event space, new F&B options and community programming designed to bring Hougang's town centre to life around your doorstep.

Location & Connectivity

Doorstep. Not "a short walk."

Sited between Hougang Central and Hougang Avenue 10, directly above Hougang MRT (NEL) and integrated with the bus interchange. Here is what that buys you, today and in 2030.

P1 registration, per MOE: home–school distance is the shortest distance from any point on the school boundary to your home's building outline, checked via SLA's OneMap School Query — and it can change from year to year, so verify in your child's registration year. A 30-month stay at the address applies if priority is gained through distance. Message me and I will run the OneMap check for your shortlisted schools.

Investment & Growth Potential

The numbers behind the headline

Scarcity you can verify

First private residential GLS plot launched in Hougang in over a decade, with limited near-term visibility of comparable integrated-site supply. Integrated developments above an MRT–bus interchange are structurally rare — a foothold you cannot replicate down the road.

Developers voted with S$1.5 billion

The tender drew three heavyweight bids, the top two separated by about 2%. The winning consortium committed S$1,500,738,338 — about S$1,179 psf per plot ratio — a level analysts read as confidence in integrated-development demand, not exuberance.

A precedent that sold itself

The same CapitaLand–UOL pairing launched ParkTown Residence, the integrated development at Tampines, in 2025 — reported around 93% sold at an average of about S$2,359 psf. Integrated launches by this team have not lingered on the shelf.

A catchment that shops downstairs

Hougang houses close to 230,000 residents — among Singapore's ten most populous precincts — with Kovan, Sengkang, Punggol and Serangoon feeding the same town centre. That is the footfall under your unit, and the tenant pool above it.

The straight answer

This will likely set a new private-home price benchmark for Hougang, on a 99-year lease. If you need a discount-to-market entry, this is not it. What you are paying for is irreplaceable positioning: the interchange, the mall, and the only integrated site in the precinct. Message me and I will walk you through the entry price against resale alternatives in D19 — with the trade-offs stated plainly, not just the upside.

Indicative Price Guide

Reference pricing, three scenarios

Developer pricing has not been released. The low scenario below is anchored to analyst expectations at the land award; the medium and high scenarios are Huttons' estimates reflecting the integrated-development premium — so you can plan financing before the price list drops.

Unit typeSizeLowMediumHigh
Est. averagepsf$2,500$2,700$2,900
1 Bedroom463 sf$1,160,000$1,250,000$1,340,000

5 Bedroom1,679 sf$4,200,000$4,530,000$4,870,000

Read this before quoting the table: reference estimates only, not developer prices, rounded to the nearest $10,000 and subject to change without notice. The low scenario reflects analyst commentary of roughly $2,500–$2,600 psf at the January 2026 award; medium and high are Huttons scenarios. Unit sizes and mix are indicative pending final approvals.

FAQ

Asked every day at the gallery

Where exactly is Hougang Central Residences?
On the mixed-use site between Hougang Central and Hougang Avenue 10 — directly above Hougang MRT station, integrated with the new Hougang bus interchange, a town plaza and the mall. ("Hougang Central Residences" is the working name in market use; the developer's official name will be confirmed at launch.)
What is the tenure?
99-year leasehold, under the Government Land Sales programme. The site was awarded on 14 January 2026.
How many units, and what mix?
Approximately 835 residences, ranging from 1+Study to 5 Bedroom layouts. The final unit mix is subject to approval and will be confirmed in the e-brochure.
When is the launch, showflat preview and TOP?
Dates have not been announced. Market expectations point to a launch window from late 2026, with completion several years after — both to be confirmed by the developer. Registered buyers get first notice of the preview, VVIP booking process and price list.
Will Hougang MRT really become an interchange?
Yes. Hougang is one of four interchange stations on Cross Island Line Phase 1, which LTA targets for completion in 2030. Rail timelines can shift, but the line is under construction today.
Is the mall confirmed?
Yes. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust will develop and fully own roughly 300,000 sq ft of net lettable retail space — announced by the consortium as the largest mall in Hougang on completion.
What will prices be?
Developer pricing is not out. The indicative guide above spans analyst expectations at the land award (low) and Huttons' premium scenarios (medium, high), for planning purposes only. WhatsApp me for the latest guide and a personalised affordability check.
How does the school distance rule work?
MOE measures home–school distance as the shortest distance from any point on the school's boundary to your home's building outline, using SLA's OneMap School Query. Distances can change year to year, and a 30-month stay at the address applies if your child gains priority through distance — so always verify in the registration year.
Can foreigners or PRs buy?
Yes — this is a private condominium, open to all buyer profiles. Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty applies depending on your residency status and property count, at prevailing IRAS rates. Send me your profile and I will compute the exact stamp duties for your scenario.
What is the payment structure?
The standard Progressive Payment Scheme for projects under construction: payments are staged against construction milestones, easing cashflow compared with a completed purchase. I can map the full schedule against your loan.
I'm selling my HDB flat to upgrade. How does the timing work?
Upgraders typically sequence the flat sale, ABSD considerations and the progressive payments to avoid bridging stress. This is the single most common conversation I have — message me and I will lay out the timeline for your block's likely resale window.
