Parc Canberra Executive Condo is situated in District 27 along Canberra Link within walking distance to Canberra MRT Station and Canberra Mall.
About 10 years ago, the town of Canberra was opened for land development. Everyone wanted to get their hands on this prime real estate because of the potential it held as a location. Housing projects have been popping up left and right in this area ever since.
Hoi Hup and Sunway wasted no time and expense to acquire this property when it was up for bidding for this very reason. Several improvement initiatives by the government makes this spot even more desirable to those who are looking to get their own place in the city.
Parc Canberra EC close proximity to Sembawang neighborhood is also definitely worth mentioning, seeing as it’s one of Singapore’s most diverse regions. There is no shortage of up-and-coming hangouts and established local favorites for you to check out.
From Canberra Link, you can see Sembawang Beach, which guarantees breathtaking views for the future residents of Parc Canberra EC. When the nearby MRT station becomes operational later this year, it will breathe new life into the area and make it more accessible.
The benefits of living in Parc Canberra EC
Parc Canberra EC as a luxury residence is a cut above the rest for a number of reasons, one being that it’s advantageously located near a myriad of public amenities. One of the main considerations as a prospective investor who is looking to get a home in the city is accessibility. Because it’s only a 5-minute walk to the soon to be opened Canberra MRT station, it offers great connectivity for those who are always on the go.
Let’s explore the benefits of owning a Parc Canberra residential unit by listing the perks that you’ll get once you move in.
Executive condos are great investments
Judging from the government’s plan to develop its surrounding area, a unit at Parc Canberra will exponentially increase in value once it surpasses the 10-year occupational period. By that time, ECs can be privatized.
If you take advantage of this time period, while Parc Canberra is still under development and the neighborhood it’s in has not yet peaked, the units are more affordable and they will sell for a lot more in the future. It will definitely be a smarter investment than buying a private condo right off the bat.
Easier to get around
If travelling to other neighborhoods all over Singapore is something that you do on the daily, then Parc Canberra’s strategic location should make it much less of a hassle. Being close by to entry points of the transportation network would make your travel times shorter and smoother. You don’t even have to own a vehicle to have the convenience of getting around easily.
Aside from the train, you’ll be close to plenty of bus stops that have routes along Central Expressway (CTE) and Seletar Expressway (SLE), ensuring that you’ll get to where you need to be in a fraction of the time it would normally take.
The newly constructed North-South MRT station nearby will open up Canberra when it starts full operation by November this year. That, along with the Sembawang MRT Station, will be extremely useful to the lucky residents of this area who want to go anywhere from Changi Airport to Orchard Road.
No need will go unaddressed
Canberra locals are excited about the opening of the Sembawang Integrated Hub. The developers of this heritage park is working around the existing landscape, careful not to disturb the beauty of nature. Residents will soon be able to enjoy vast green spaces for leisure activities and even community farming.
