Hougang Central is presently served by Hougang MRT Station and the Hougang Bus Interchange, connected via an underground pedestrian link. In the future, both transport facilities will be consolidated into a new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) within the Hougang Central site. This integration will offer residents a more convenient and efficient commute, with MRT and bus services housed together in a single, fully connected hub.
When Phase 1 of the Cross Island Line (CRL) is completed around 2030, Hougang MRT station is set to function as an interchange connecting the new CRL with the existing North-East Line (NEL). This enhanced connectivity will significantly improve travel convenience for Hougang residents, providing smoother access to major destinations in the east and north-east, including Pasir Ris and Ang Mo Kio, which will also be linked by the CRL.

Performance D19 vs OCR
District 19 has shown consistent price growth for resale non-landed private homes. From 2020 to the first 11 months of 2025, median resale condo prices climbed from $1,112 psf to $1,642 psf, a 47.7% increase—slightly outperforming the OCR average growth of 45.8% over the same period.
This sustained upward trend suggests further upside potential for D19, particularly with upcoming infrastructure improvements enhancing connectivity and liveability in Hougang and nearby towns.

Why Buyers and Investors Love Integrated Developments in Singapore?
Integrated developments have become one of the most sought-after property types in Singapore, and for good reason. These projects combine residential units with retail, lifestyle amenities, transport hubs, and sometimes even schools, offering a level of convenience that few other developments can match. Residents can shop, dine, commute, and access daily necessities without leaving the precinct—making life simpler, faster, and more enjoyable.
Key Reasons for Their Popularity:
-
Unmatched Convenience: Everything you need—shopping, dining, transportation, and sometimes even educational facilities—is within walking distance, providing a highly efficient lifestyle for homeowners and families.
-
Proven Investment Value: Historical data shows that integrated developments enjoy higher resale values and stronger demand compared to standalone projects. Tenants and buyers are often willing to pay a premium for the convenience, making it a smart choice for investors.
-
Tenant-Friendly Rentals: For investment properties, integrated developments are highly attractive to tenants. The combination of easy access to MRT, bus interchanges, malls, and amenities ensures strong rental demand and lower vacancy rates.
-
Rare and Exclusive: Projects of this nature are rare, as URA’s planning makes large-scale mixed developments uncommon. The scarcity adds a premium factor, making these developments highly sought after and difficult to replicate.
These few factors—convenience for residents and strong, proven investment value—make integrated developments a must-consider choice for both homebuyers and investors, and the reason why they consistently top Singapore’s property sales charts.
