New Launch · District 19 · Hougang Central
Approximately 830 homes above a two-line MRT interchange, in a town that already has everything else.
Most new launches ask you to wait for the neighbourhood to catch up. Hougang Central is already finished — the station, the mall, the wet market, the polyclinic and the school belt have been in place for decades. CapitaLand Development and UOL now hold the last large private site in the middle of it.
Overview
Hougang has been a fully formed town since the late 1980s. The MRT station opened in 2003, the mall the following year, and the bus interchange, wet market, polyclinic, library and community club have sat within the same few hundred metres ever since. What the town has never had much of is private housing — the stock is overwhelmingly HDB, with a small number of condominiums from the 1990s and early 2000s and very little built since.
That is the whole case for this site, and it is worth being blunt about it: you are not being asked to price in a masterplan that completes in 2035. The amenities already exist, are already used, and are already reflected in how people live here. What the development adds on top is a roughly 300,000 sqft mall and a relocated bus interchange under the same roof, targeted for 2030 / 2031. Everything the consortium has actually released is on this site — the award, the site and unit numbers, connectivity and a buyer FAQ. Where a figure has not been confirmed, the page says so rather than guessing. One naming note, because it affects what you search for: the consortium has not announced an official project name, and the site is written both ways in the market — Hougang Central Residences and Hougang Central Residence. They are the same development.

Selling Points
Six things that genuinely differentiate this site — and, on the overview page, the four we would want you to weigh against them before you commit.
Hougang MRT has run the North East Line since 2003. The Cross Island Line adds a second line at the same station rather than a new one down the road, which is the difference between an interchange and a transfer; Phase 1 is due in 2030. This development connects to the station directly instead of sitting a few streets away from it.
CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust is building roughly 300,000 sqft of retail into the podium — the largest mall in Hougang — with the relocated Hougang Bus Interchange under the same roof. On top of that, Hougang Mall, the wet market and hawker centre, the polyclinic, the library and the community club have been a few hundred metres away for decades.
Holy Innocents' Primary and Montfort Junior both fall inside the 1 km Primary 1 priority radius, with Xinmin Primary and CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity within 2 km. Check your exact unit address on the MOE school finder before you rely on it — the radius is measured from an address, not from a district.
The CTE, KPE and TPE are each a short drive out. That matters less for the headline travel time than for having a second option when one of them is crawling — which, on the CTE heading south at 8am, it usually is.
The consortium paid S$1.5 billion, or S$1,179 per square foot per plot ratio, for this site on 14 January 2026. That number is public, and it is the floor the eventual launch pricing is built up from — construction, financing, marketing and margin all sit on top of it. Most launch sites ask you to wait for a price. This one at least lets you reason about where it has to start.
Private launches in Hougang have been infrequent, and the existing condominium stock is largely from the 1990s and 2000s. Approximately 830 units arriving at once is a lot for this town in absolute terms, but there is no second launch queued behind it within walking distance. For a landlord that means fewer near-identical units listed against yours. On exit it means the same thing.
Fact Sheet
Figures are indicative and subject to the developer's confirmation. More detail on the overview page.
Location
Hougang Central, District 19 — built over a station that becomes a two-line interchange in 2030, with the mall, wet market, polyclinic and library in the same block.
Walking and driving times are approximate and subject to the developer's confirmation.
Site Plan & Facilities
When the list is published, the thing to check is not the count but which zone your stack actually looks down on: a pool view is pleasant at 6pm and less so when the function room is booked out on a Saturday.
Floor Plans
CapitaLand Development and UOL have confirmed approximately 830 residential units and nothing beyond that. The layout families below are the ones a development of this size in this segment normally carries, listed so you can register interest in the ones that fit; every size and every unit count reads 'to be announced' because that is what they are. When the mix is issued, note that strata areas include air-conditioner ledges and, where applicable, private enclosed spaces and balconies, and that final areas are subject to survey.

FAQ
The site sits between Hougang Central and Hougang Avenue 10, inside the Hougang Central town centre in District 19. It is an integrated development: the homes sit above a retail podium that also houses the relocated Hougang Bus Interchange, with a direct link to Hougang MRT (North East Line NE14, joined by Cross Island Line CR8 in 2030). A postal address is assigned once the development is built; the developer will confirm the marketing address at launch.
Both, for now. CapitaLand Development and UOL have not announced an official project name, so the site at Hougang Central is written in the plural on most portals and in the singular elsewhere, and you will also see it called Hougang Central Condo or the Hougang Central GLS site. They all refer to the same 504,820 sqft plot awarded in January 2026. The name will settle when the developer registers it, usually a few weeks before the preview.
A consortium of CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust, CapitaLand Development and UOL Group was awarded the site on 14 January 2026 for about S$1.5 billion, or S$1,179 psf per plot ratio. CapitaLand Development and UOL hold the residential component in a 50:50 joint venture; CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust owns 100% of the commercial component. Tenure is 99-year leasehold, running from the land agreement rather than from completion, which is standard for a Government Land Sales site.
The residential TOP has not been announced. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust has guided completion of the commercial component for 2030 / 2031, and the homes sit on the same podium, so the residential date is unlikely to fall far outside that — but it is not confirmed and this site will not print a date until it is. As a rule of thumb, Singapore condominiums reach TOP roughly three to four years after construction starts. Register your interest and you will have the confirmed date the day the developer releases it.
Approximately 830 residential units are planned. The unit mix, the layout types and the size of each have not been released by CapitaLand Development and UOL, so no size on this site is presented as a developer figure. The floor plans page lists the layout families a development of this size normally carries so you can register interest in the ones that fit, with every size marked 'to be announced'. If another site is quoting you exact square footages for this project today, ask them where the number came from.
