The site of a new Integrated Transport Hub (ITH) at Hougange Central was awarded to a CapitaLand-led consortium on 14 January 2026.
The project, targeted for completion in the 2030s, contains a new ITH within a mixed-use development comprising a Town Plaza, commercial, and residential elements. It will be directly connected to Hougang MRT Station on the North East Line, and the future Cross Island Line by 2030.
Interchange Specifications
According to tender specifications, the Bus Interchange will feature:
- A minimum gross floor area of 6,500 square metres, including about 400 square metres of commercial space within the interchange concourse.
- Two primary vehicular access points from Hougang Avenue 10 and Hougang Central, both served by a signalised junction.
- At least 150 bicycle parking lots.
- Sheltered, barrier-free pedestrian connections to nearby MRT stations, bus stops, passenger pick-up and drop-off points, and other commuter facilities, with clear wayfinding.
- Appropriate bus priority measures in and around the site.
HDB control plans indicate that the tenderer also be required to demolish the existing Hougang Central Bus Interchange.
