Yishun · District 27 · New launch
Up to 875 homes above a new bus interchange and hawker centre, about 500m from Khatib MRT, in HDB's new 70-hectare estate. Awarded to a Gamuda, Evia and Ho Lee consortium for S$1.012 billion. Register to receive floor plans and pricing the moment the developer releases them.
The first private housing site released in Chencharu, HDB's new 70-hectare estate in Yishun.
Chencharu is a 70-hectare precinct planned for around 10,000 homes by 2040, at least 80% of them public housing. This is the first private site sold there, so it enters an estate being built around it rather than a mature one already fully priced.
The site carries roughly 13,000 sq m of commercial space, including the estate's new bus interchange and a hawker centre.
Khatib station sits on the North-South Line, roughly 500m away. The North-South Corridor, which completes in phases from 2027, adds a faster road route toward the city.
"Chencharu" is an old Malay name for the horse mackerel. The new park keeps a 1912 rubber-estate bungalow at 50 Bah Soon Pah Road.
Chencharu Close sits in the Khatib area of Yishun, District 27, in the north of Singapore, between Sembawang Road and Yishun Avenue 2.
HDB unveiled the Chencharu masterplan on 5 March 2024: a 70-hectare estate for about 10,000 homes by 2040, with a new park, hawker centre and bus interchange, and a community avenue linking the park to Khatib MRT. Four BTO projects — Chencharu Hills, Green, Vines and Grove — have been launched nearby. School distances cannot be confirmed until the building plan is approved — see the schools around the site.
