Stellar Lifestyle, a business arm of SMRT, and the largest managing agent of retail spaces in Singapore’s rail network, officially launches STAYTION Lifestyle Centre at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station. With the launch of STAYTION Lifestyle Centre, this is going to revitalise the longstanding station retail space and showcase the new blueprint of future retails hubs with a curated tenant mix within MRT stations.
New Blueprint of Future Retail Hubs within MRT Stations
STAYTION Lifestyle at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station showcases how the future of retail hub within an MRT station can be like. Instead of just purely leasing retail spaces within train stations, Stellar Lifestyle will curate a handpicked group of tenants to better serve commuters and local communities, based on location and the needs of commuters in that neighbourhood.
STAYATION Lifestyle Centre is strategically located at a central interchange train station, it’s a beauty and wellness-themed lifestyle centre that offers convenient access to work and leisure services. They are specially curated to save commuters’ time without the need to make detours from their regular commutes.
Future Expansion Plans of Transit Retail Hubs within MRT Stations
Stellar Lifestyle is planning to expand this approach to other transit retail hubs within MRT stations over the next few years, tailoring each location to its own unique needs of the local community. This new approach was cemented with the success of other similar hubs, such as Timezone at Orchard MRT and Hive 2.0 at Esplanade MRT.
Tony Heng, President of Stellar Lifestyle, said, “Our vision for transit retail hubs within MRT stations is to create dynamic, integrated spaces that cater to the diverse and ever-changing needs of commuters. Staytion Lifestyle Centre exemplifies how we are continually redefining retail environments to meet evolving consumer demands and benefit the local community.”

STAYTION Lifestyle Centre enhances the hectic hybrid work life. They can be your one-stop hub for work, health and fitness needs. Commuters can now manage their essential health and wellness appointments conveniently and enrich their daily routines with the following services:

Community Engagement | Promoting sustainable pre-loved culture
STAYATION Lifestyle Centre also repurposes its lounge on weekends for community engagement, such as its longstanding partnership with Fleawhere, Singapore’s largest flea market operator. Stellar Lifestyle promotes sustainable pre-loved culture through those regular weekend flea markets.
As a fan of flea markets, and also an advocate for sustainability, up-cycling and recycling, this is great to hear of Stellar Lifestyle’s community engagement and sustainability drive efforts!

STAYTION Lifestyle Centre – Future of Retail | Future of Living | Future of Cities | Future of Work
STAYTION Lifestyle Centre is more than just the new blueprint of future retail hubs, they also showcase the Future of Cities, Living and Work coming together. As a regular commuter on the MRT train network, that also regularly transit and/or alight at Dhoby Ghaut MRT Station, this new and curated tenant mix is most welcome for many of us, whether it’s for a meal, snack or coffee/tea break. For those working nearby Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, the new and curated tenant mix along with community engagement spaces and events, would attract them as well.
STAYATION Spaces co-working space would be ideal for working professionals that have to commute between locations and needing a co-working space to do their work in between, or a convenient co-working space right next to a MRT interchange.
KithSTOP is great for its food and coffee, a cosy place to drink, relax and get your work done in between your commutes or appointments. That’s Saladstop! and Takagi Ramen dining options as well, giving commuters choices to choose from.
Many of us would be able to remember the previous edition of Dhoby Ghaut Xchange prior to the metamorphosis into a brand new change and direction, the STAYTION Lifestyle Centre. Stellar Lifestyle’s Hive 2.0 and STAYTION Lifestyle Centre are setting the tone and direction for future transit retail hubs at other stations, with new, fresh and unique approaches, tailoring to the local community and their unique needs.
These would make transit retail hubs more fun, interesting and meaningful with its own unique tailored mix of tenants and provision of different types of business services, giving commuters something to look forward to or to get things done at those retail hubs before returning home.
