Hougang Central Residence (GLS) is our working name for the homes in the Hougang Central integrated development, District 19. The developers have not announced an official project name, so treat any name you see on an agent site as unofficial. We will update this page when the real one is announced.
The 99-year site sits on top of Hougang MRT on the North-East Line. It is planned as one development combining the homes, a new bus interchange, a town plaza with a sheltered event space, and about 300,000 sq ft of retail. A CapitaLand and UOL consortium won it in January 2026 for S$1,500,738,338, about S$1,179 per square foot per plot ratio, with roughly 830 homes planned.
Not released yet: prices, unit mix, floor plans and the official TOP date. The launch is expected in the second half of 2027, based on UOL's timeline as reported in August 2026. Register on this page for the preview date and the price list.
Who is building it
The residential company is a 50:50 joint venture between CapitaLand Development and a UOL-led group. Inside that UOL half, the effective stakes are UOL 30%, Singapore Land Group 10% and Kheng Leong 10%, per UOL's filing to the Singapore Exchange on 14 January 2026. CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust develops and owns the commercial part outright.
What makes this site different
The homes, the bus interchange, the mall and the town plaza are being built as one development, connected to the MRT station. That is why it does not compare cleanly with a standalone condo launch nearby.
Hougang MRT is on the North-East Line today, and it is planned as an interchange with the Cross Island Line, which CapitaLand's January 2026 announcement puts at 2033. You would be buying transport and retail at your doorstep, and the price will reflect that.
What to compare
Integrated against standalone. Weigh the premium against what you will actually use: the daily train ride, the bus interchange downstairs and the mall. Then ask the harder questions. How are the residential lifts and entrances separated from the public ones, where do the crowds move at peak hours, and which stacks face the interchange.
New launch against nearby resale. One analyst projection published in May 2026 put launch prices above S$2,500 psf. Median resale prices at nearby projects such as Riverfront Residences, The Florence Residences and Sengkang Grand Residences have been running roughly S$1,740 to S$2,010 psf. The S$2,500 figure is a projection, not a price list, so treat it as a marker rather than a number to budget on. Put the shortlist side by side in the compare tool.
Where it is
At Hougang Central, directly linked to Hougang MRT on the North-East Line, with the new bus interchange inside the development.
- MRT. Hougang, North-East Line, direct link. A Cross Island Line interchange is planned here.
- Groceries. FairPrice and Scarlett Supermarket about 180 m away, with the development's own retail to come.
- Schools. CHIJ Our Lady of the Nativity, Punggol Primary, Montfort Junior and Yio Chu Kang Primary are in the area, with Holy Innocents' High, Montfort Secondary and Anderson Serangoon Junior College nearby. Nanyang Polytechnic is a short ride away.
Primary school distance decides Primary 1 priority, so measure your exact block on OneMap rather than relying on a marketing map. See also homes near Hougang MRT and the District 19 guide.
Unit types, floor plans and facilities
Nothing has been released, and the launch is still expected to be about a year away. Residential facilities have not been announced either. What is confirmed is at development level: the bus interchange, the town plaza with its sheltered event space, and the retail and food and beverage space. Those are shared public components, not residents' facilities.
When it will be finished
The developers are targeting completion in 2033. That is a developer target, not a TOP date, and no TOP date has been given. If you need a home sooner than that, compare completed condos around Hougang MRT first.
Costs and financing
This is a private condominium, so there is no income ceiling and no MOP. A bank loan covers up to 75% of the price on a first housing loan, and your total monthly debt repayments are capped at 55% of gross income under the Total Debt Servicing Ratio. Buyer's Stamp Duty applies to everyone, and Additional Buyer's Stamp Duty depends on your residency and how many residential properties you already own, with rates set by IRAS. Foreigners can buy, at the foreigner ABSD rate. Work out the monthly repayment in the mortgage calculator.
