Integrated living
Home, hawker, bus and shops under one roof
Chencharu Central Residences is one of the few private condominiums in Singapore built directly above a public bus interchange and a hawker centre. Residents will be able to step down for a S$5 bowl of noodles, pick up groceries, and catch a feeder or trunk bus without crossing a road. Khatib MRT is a short walk away.
Integrated projects like this are rare in mature towns because they depend on a government-planned land parcel. In Chencharu, HDB tendered the site with the transport and food amenities already built into the conditions of sale. That means the amenities are part of the plan, not a hope.
- Air-conditioned bus interchange directly below the homes
- Hawker centre with about 40 cooked-food stalls
- Retail, supermarket and F&B space
- About a 6-minute walk to Khatib MRT (North-South Line)

Chencharu estate
The first private homes in Yishun's newest town
HDB unveiled the masterplan for Chencharu in June 2024. The 70-hectare estate will have about 10,000 homes by 2040, at least 80% of them public housing. A 400-metre stretch of Chencharu Link will be a bus-only corridor, and a new east-west green link will join a new park to the neighbourhood park near Khatib MRT.
Chencharu Central Residences sits at the heart of this plan, next to the transport and food hub the whole estate will use. Projects that come first in a new town often benefit as the surroundings mature, although nothing is guaranteed.
