Location

Hillview MRT station (DT3) is an underground Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) station on the Downtown Line, situated on the boundary of Bukit Batok and Bukit Panjang planning areas, Singapore.

The station serves the Upper Bukit Timah corridor, at the junction between Upper Bukit Timah Road, Dairy Farm Road and Hillview Avenue. The vicinity is largely residential, with commercial buildings such as the Rail Mall and Hillv2 within walking distance.[1]

The section of tracks between Hillview station and Beauty World MRT station is the longest between any two MRT stations on the Downtown Line. There are basic structural provisions for a possible future station (also known as a "box station") along this section of tracks near Hume Avenue.[2]
