Toa Payoh Hillside BTO will also be at the heart of a new ‘Toa Payoh West’ hub.

According to official project details released by HDB, the Toa Payoh Hillside site will yield a total of 1,432 residential units. The flat supply comprises 592 units of 2-room Flexi, 584 units of 4-room flats, and 256 Community Care Apartments (CCAs).
Located in Block 410C, the CCAs integrate senior-friendly housing with care services that can be scaled according to care needs and social activities to support seniors to age independently within the community.
The high proportion of 2-room Flexi units alongside CCAs indicates an intentional design focus on senior-friendly, assisted, and intergenerational living, while the 4-room offering will cater strongly to young families and first-time buyers seeking long-term city-fringe living.
Beyond residential housing, the development is planned as a self-contained community hub. Residents will benefit from a broad suite of integrated commercial facilities, including a supermarket, an eating house and food court, a fast-food restaurant, four retail shops, a preschool, a Residents’ Network Centre, and an Active Ageing Centre.
There will be children’s playgrounds, fitness facilities, a hardcourt, and green spaces for residents of all ages.

This November 2026 Toa Payoh Hillside BTO (next to Caldecott MRT Station) occupies a city-fringe plot situated right beside Toa Payoh Rise, Toa Payoh West, and Toa Payoh Link.
Good MRT Access
Given its direct adjacency to Caldecott MRT station - an interchange serving both the Circle Line (CCL) and the Thomson-East Coast Line (TEL) - commuters can reach Orchard, Marina Bay, and the Botanic Gardens with ease. Also, Braddell MRT Station is a short walk away.
The MSCP will be connected to a 2-storey building comprising commercial facilities on the ground level, such as a food court, supermarket, fast food restaurant, and shops, as well as a roof garden and social communal facilities on the second storey.
10-Year MOP
Given its prime central location and direct MRT connectivity, the site is widely expected to be categorized under the Prime housing classification framework, which carries a 10-year Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) and subsidy clawback terms upon resale.
HDB Resale Prices Nearby
Toa Payoh remains one of Singapore’s top-performing HDB resale markets, consistently generating strong capital growth due to a persistent supply-demand mismatch for newer housing stock.
Over the past 12 months (in 2026), the median resale price for 4-room flats across Toa Payoh hovered around $940,000 to $1,000,000, significantly outperforming the national average.
| Toa Payoh HDB Resale | 12-Month Median Resale Prices | Price per sq ft |

Toa Payoh Crest BTO
In the immediate neighborhood around Caldecott and Lorong 1, pricing is anchored by developments such as Toa Payoh Crest (a mature BTO that has reached its MOP).
Premium 4-room units on high floors near Caldecott and Toa Payoh MRT stations regularly transact between $950,000 and $1.1 million. The strong price floor in the area suggests that BTO units launched here - even with Prime framework restrictions and subsidy clawbacks - will offer strong equity preservation and substantial long-term value for buyers securing an entry-level subsidized launch price.

URA Draft Master Plan 2025
The long-term value trajectory of the Toa Payoh Rise site is significantly bolstered by urban planning directives outlined in the URA Draft Master Plan 2025.
The site directly benefits from its position adjacent to the upcoming Mount Pleasant housing estate, which will introduce approximately 5,000 new public and private homes alongside heritage conservation zones and new civic amenities.
Residents at Toa Payoh Hillside BTO will enjoy seamless cycling and walking access connecting directly to the MacRitchie Reservoir Park green spine, Mount Pleasant, and the broader Park Connector Network (PCN).

Feng Shui
Good for family stability & career
From a Landform Feng Shui perspective, Toa Payoh and its surrounding enclaves lie along the path of Singapore’s Southern Dragon (also known as the Wealth Dragon), benefiting from rich earth and water energies generated by nearby natural reservoirs like MacRitchie.
Toa Payoh is classically recognized as a dual “Lotus Flower” formation. In Feng Shui, the lotus signifies harmony, longevity, and steady spiritual and material growth. Living within this sphere supports family stability, peaceful living, and good health for senior occupants - a fitting alignment given the presence of Community Care Apartments on-site.
The terrain rolling down from Caldecott Hill carries dynamic, competitive energy. This formation is associated with vitality, rapid career advancement, and strong ambition, making it favorable for working adults and young couples.
Units with unblocked, green views are good
Because the Toa Payoh Hillside site sits adjacent to Caldecott MRT interchange - where two underground transport lines intersect - energy (Qi) is continuously circulated through the precinct. Prospective homeowners are advised to look for units with unblocked views facing green spaces or internal landscaped courtyards to allow smooth, untroubled gathering of Qi, while using interior layouts that screen out direct road noise from Toa Payoh Rise.
The November 2026 Toa Payoh Hillside BTO site presents a rare combination of immediate transit access, self-contained daily conveniences, solid resale benchmarks, and long-term capital appreciation backed by URA’s master planning. For buyers eligible under HDB’s income and family nuclear guidelines, it stands out as one of the most well-rounded central housing opportunities of the decade.
