A new hawker centre will open at Bukit Batok West in the 2nd quarter (2Q) of 2025.
It will have 22 cooked food stalls.

The then Ministry of Environment and Water Resources first announced the hawker centre in 2015, reported The Straits Times (ST).
In 2019, the Ministry revealed further details of the hawker centre’s location.
Harmony Village @ Bukit Batok has 169 community care apartments in a 15-storey block which caters to those aged 65 and older.
As the hawker centre will be situated among HDB dwelling units, it will provide more food options to residents when completed.
