Convenience, the magic sauce of integrated developments

The growth of the convenience culture is plain to see, from banking to e-commerce, to e-learning and even in real estate. If there is one thing that proves how much local homebuyers value convenience and connectivity, look no further than the immense popularity of integrated developments or sometimes known as Integrated Transport Hubs (ITHs).

Typically, ITHs feature fully air-conditioned bus interchanges that are connected to MRT stations and adjoining commercial spaces such as retail malls, and they may also incorporate residential units. Some ITHs also include public amenities such as libraries, a community club, and hawker centre.

Robust demand for integrated developments

When Parktown Residence was launched in February 2025, more than 87% of the 1,193-unit mega development was snapped up by zealous buyers. Parktown Residence will offer seamless connection to the future Tampines North MRT station and bus interchange, and will be integrated with a shopping mall and various community facilities.

Similarly, The Reserves Residences in Jalan Anak Bukit sold more than 70% of its 732 homes during its launch weekend in May 2023. The mixed-used project will include a direct link to the Beauty World MRT station and a future bus interchange, with Bukit V mall as its retail podium.

With almost unparalleled access to daily necessities, food and retail options, and transport connectivity to other parts of the island, it is no surprise that ITHs which comprise residential properties are seen as the pinnacle of urban living, and a hot favourite among both owner-occupiers and investors.

More ITHs could potentially be planned and built in the near future as the government seeks to create neighbourhoods where residents of all ages could live, work, play and learn in. As we await the exciting announcement of the Draft Master Plan 2025, let's look to the Master Plan 2019 for a snap shot of where the ITHs are located.

Potential ITHs and where to find them

Based on the 2019 Master Plan, there are 32 locations across the island marked with a bright blue dot which denotes "Bus Interchange / Integrated Transport Hub" - including existing ITHs, as well as some potential new ITHs to come (see image and Table 1).
