The original interchange was built at a cost of S$2 million, and it opened on 23 August 1987. It was the first  bus interchange in Singapore purpose-built for the Trans-Island Bus Service. The shops at Block 923 were closed and subsequently demolished in 2012 due to the development plans. Residents who were residing at Block 923 were transferred to a new residential area.

The land parcel was launched for sale on 28 June 2013. On 27 February 2015, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) announced the construction and co-location of a new air -conditioned bus interchange with the new Northpoint City integrated development, named the Yishun Integrated Transport Hub (YITH).
