The recent train breakdowns on the East-West Line have underscored the vital role of public transport in Singapore, with millions of residents passing through train stations each day.

With that in mind, Stellar Lifestyle, a subsidiary of SMRT Corporation, is transforming the nation’s transit hubs into vibrant lifestyle destinations. Its innovative business model goes beyond transportation, offering commuters retail, dining and digital services that seamlessly enhance their daily journeys.

Stellar Lifestyle manages retail and advertising spaces primarily along the island’s rail network, generating revenue through leasing and advertising fees. “Unlike traditional real estate managing agents, we oversee retail space that is dispersed across SMRT train stations; many stations are a retail ‘micro-hub’ that would have its own hyper-local commuter base, depending on location and the surrounding neighbourhood,” says Tony Heng, president of Stellar Lifestyle.
