History of Haw Par Villa MRT station

When the Circle Line was first drawn up, this stop was planned as a shell station called West Coast, to be opened only once the area had grown. In 2008 it was confirmed that it would open alongside the later Circle Line stages, and its current name was chosen through a public poll. The station welcomed its first passengers on 8 October 2011. A Jurong Region Line extension was once studied to end here, but in March 2025 the government announced that the line would terminate at Kent Ridge station instead.

Inside Haw Par Villa MRT station

The station is wheelchair accessible, with wider fare gates for wheelchair users and tactile floor routes that guide visually impaired passengers from the entrances to the platforms. It is also one of eleven Circle Line stations built to serve as a Civil Defence shelter during a national emergency, fitted with features such as blast doors and decontamination facilities. On the lift shaft you will find Eroclamation by Tan Wee Lit, an Art-in-Transit work in a black-and-white paper-cut style. It shows an imaginary villa mixing landmarks from western Singapore with construction vehicles, and its title blends the words erosion and reclamation.
