LinkTown Residences Launch Timing: August 2026 Update
UOL’s half-year results guide a 2H 2027 launch for Hougang Central Residences and confirm a three-way residential joint venture. What changes, and what doesn’t.
On 12 August 2026, UOL Group presented its results for the first half of 2026. Two points matter for anyone following LinkTown Residences (Hougang Central Residences): the guidance on launch timing, and the confirmed structure of the residential joint venture.
Launch timing: 2H 2027 guidance
Around the land award in January 2026, the sales launch was reported as expected in early 2027. UOL’s August 2026 results guide a launch in the second half of 2027.
No launch date has ever been announced, so this is not a postponement of a fixed date. It is updated guidance from one of the partners. Developers set timing according to design approvals, market conditions and their other launches, and guidance can move either way.
On this site we keep “expected early 2027” as our working expectation, and wherever the launch is discussed we note that UOL’s August 2026 results guide a 2H 2027 launch. When the developers confirm preview and booking dates, both will be replaced by the real ones. The launch date page has the full timeline, and our list of milestones to watch before the launch shows what usually comes first.
The launch date, showflat preview and booking day for LinkTown Residences are to be announced. We will publish them the day they are released.
The joint venture, clarified
Early reports described the residential component as a 50:50 joint venture between CapitaLand Development and UOL. UOL’s results set out the actual split:
- CapitaLand Development: 50%
- UOL Group: 40%
- Kheng Leong: 10%
The commercial component, the mall of about 300,000 sq ft net lettable area, remains 100% owned by CapitaLand Integrated Commercial Trust (CICT). We have updated every page on this site to reflect the three-way residential structure. The developer page covers each partner’s track record.
Project size
UOL describes the project as having more than 800 residential units and about 28,000 sqm of commercial space. We continue to use “about 830 homes”, the figure reported at the award, and will switch to the final number when the unit mix is released.
What this means if you are planning to buy Hougang Central Residences
- More time to prepare. Use it to check your loan eligibility under TDSR and your stamp duty position. Verify the rules with IRAS, MAS and your bank.
- Completion expectations. Completion is still expected around 2030/2031, but a later launch can affect when the TOP date falls. The actual date will be in the sales documents.
- Indicative information stays indicative. Sizes on our floor plans page are based on Parktown Residence, and prices on the price list page are analysts’ estimates of S$2,500–2,600 psf. Neither is final. Our note on how this site labels information explains each status badge.
