Where is Lorong Chuan MRT?
Lorong Chuan MRT station (CC14) is an underground station on the Circle Line, located on Lorong Chuan beside New Tech Park and its NTP+ retail podium. It opened in 2009 as part of the Circle Line's north-eastern stretch and serves the private estates of Lorong Chuan, Serangoon Gardens and Chiltern, as well as the New Tech Park business community.
From One Chuan Grove, the station is roughly 500 m away in a straight line, based on published estimates measured from the centre of the site. On foot, that usually means a walk of about five to eight minutes, depending on which gate of the estate you leave from and the pedestrian crossings along the way. When the site plan is released, we will update this guide with the walking route from each gate.
Two interchanges, one stop each way
Lorong Chuan's biggest advantage is its position between two major interchange stations:
| Direction | Next station | Interchange to | Useful for |
|---|---|---|---|
| West | Bishan (CC15 / NS17) | North-South Line | Novena, Newton, Orchard, City Hall, Raffles Place, Marina Bay; Ang Mo Kio, Yishun |
| East | Serangoon (CC13 / NE12) | North-East Line | Little India, Dhoby Ghaut, Chinatown, Outram Park, HarbourFront; Sengkang, Punggol |
This means almost every major destination in Singapore can be reached with a single change of train. For a household where one person works in the CBD and the other in the north-east, it is a very convenient base.
Where the Circle Line goes
Beyond the interchanges, the Circle Line itself links Lorong Chuan directly to several important areas without a change of train:
- Paya Lebar (East-West Line interchange), with Paya Lebar Quarter and the Paya Lebar Central business hub;
- MacPherson (Downtown Line), Tai Seng and Ubi industrial and business areas;
- Botanic Gardens (Downtown Line interchange), Farrer Road and Holland Village;
- Buona Vista (East-West Line interchange) and one-north, home to many technology, research and media firms;
- Kent Ridge for the National University of Singapore and National University Hospital;
- HarbourFront for VivoCity and Sentosa.
Beyond Paya Lebar, the line continues through Dakota, Mountbatten and Stadium to Promenade, Esplanade and Dhoby Ghaut in the city.
The completed Circle Line loop
Circle Line Stage 6 (CCL6) adds three stations, Keppel, Cantonment and Prince Edward Road, linking HarbourFront back to Marina Bay and closing the loop. Once the loop is complete, trains can run around the full circle, which shortens journeys between the western and southern parts of the line and the city. For Lorong Chuan residents, this means more direct routes to the Keppel and Tanjong Pagar areas and the Greater Southern Waterfront.
Typical commute times
The times below are rough estimates for planning purposes, including the walk to the station and one change of train where needed. Actual times depend on the time of day and connections.
| Destination | Route | Approx. door to door |
|---|---|---|
| Raffles Place (CBD) | CCL to Bishan, NSL to Raffles Place | 30 to 35 min |
| Orchard | CCL to Bishan, NSL to Orchard | 25 to 30 min |
| Dhoby Ghaut | CCL to Serangoon, NEL to Dhoby Ghaut | 20 to 25 min |
| Paya Lebar | CCL direct | 15 to 20 min |
| one-north | CCL direct | 30 to 35 min |
| NUS / Kent Ridge | CCL direct | 35 to 40 min |
| Changi Airport | CCL to Paya Lebar, EWL to Changi Airport | 45 to 50 min |
Buses and cycling
Bus services run along Lorong Chuan, Serangoon Avenue and the surrounding roads, with the Serangoon and Bishan bus interchanges one MRT stop away. For short trips, park connectors link the area with Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park, which is popular for cycling and jogging.
Driving
For drivers, the Central Expressway (CTE) runs beside Lorong Chuan. Heading south, it leads to the city and Orchard in roughly 15 to 20 minutes outside peak hours. Heading north, it links to Ang Mo Kio, the Seletar Expressway and the Tampines Expressway. The PIE and KPE are a few minutes away for trips east and west.
Why MRT access matters for value
In Singapore, condos within walking distance of an MRT station are generally in higher demand, both from owner-occupiers and from tenants. A walk of under ten minutes to a Circle Line station with two interchanges one stop away is a strong practical advantage. That said, transport is only one factor in a property's long-term performance, along with price, supply, layout and the wider market.
