A value-pitched private launch in a corner of the north that's only just come of age.
The Canberra precinct, off Sembawang Road in District 27, has spent the last few years filling in. Canberra MRT (NS12) opened on the North-South Line in 2019 — putting the estate one stop from Sembawang interchange — and around it came Canberra Plaza mall (~720 m) and the Bukit Canberra integrated hub (~760 m), with an ActiveSG gym, swimming complex, hawker centre and polyclinic. For most of that time the only private-style housing in the immediate cluster has been Executive Condominiums.
Canberra Crescent Residences is the new private (non-EC) option here — 376 homes in four 12-storey blocks by a joint venture of Kheng Leong Co. and Low Keng Huat (Singapore). The pitch was value: at the preview the developer quoted indicative pricing from S$1,880 psf, and the opening weekend drew more than 4,000 visitors over 19–20 July 2025. When booking opened on 2 August 2025, 150 of 376 units (40%) were taken at an average S$1,974 psf — a steady, measured launch rather than a sell-out.
What stands out in the numbers is who bought. EdgeProp's transaction records show buyers were 94% Singaporean, 6% Permanent Resident and 0% foreigner or company — an almost entirely local pool. This is a heartland-upgrader product, pure and simple: a family-sized home in the far north, value-pitched to locals rather than investors. The deputy director of Kheng Leong, Wee Teng Yuan, called the ~S$1,974 psf average “very attractive when compared against recent transacted prices of new mass market homes.”
The land floor is clean. The JV won the Canberra Crescent Government Land Sales site for S$279 million — S$793 psf ppr — at a tender that closed 18 July 2024 with three bids. The runner-up consortium (Santarli, Apex Asia, BHCC and Heeton) came in just 1.4% behind, with GuocoLand third, so the market read the land value the same way and the S$1,974 launch average sits comfortably above the ground cost.
Launched at S$1,974 psf average.
Canberra Crescent Residences booked 150 of 376 units over its opening weekend at an average S$1,974 psf, up from the S$1,880 psf indicative figure floated at the preview. A nuance worth knowing: that S$1,880 psf is the lowest-PSF type — the larger 4-bedroom — not the cheapest home. The cheapest unit is a 1-bedroom from S$880,000, which works out to about S$2,152 psf. The neighbouring price references are the cluster's Executive Condominiums, income-capped and sold years earlier:
- Parc Canberra (EC, 2020): ~S$1,085 psf launch — far below CCR
- Provence Residence (EC, 2021): ~S$1,142 psf launch — far below
- The Commodore (condo, 2021): ~S$1,489 psf launch
- Canberra Crescent Residences (2025): S$1,974 psf — the new private option in the cluster
The S$793 psf ppr land cost sets the floor; the EC ladder sets the context. The gap to the ECs is the premium for a private title with no income ceiling and no minimum occupation period — and a price that still reads as value against Woodlands' Norwood Grand (S$2,067).
| Project | Segment | Units | Launched | Launch PSF & take-up |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canberra Crescent Residencessubject | Private condo | 376 | Aug 2025 | S$1,974 avg · 40% launch weekend |
| Provence Residence (EC) | Executive condo | 413 | May 2021 | S$1,142 avg · 53% launch weekend |

| Norwood Grand | Private condo (Woodlands) | 348 | Oct 2024 | S$2,067 avg · 84% launch weekend |
Comparable launch figures are developer-reported averages from each project's own launch (EdgeProp). The Canberra ECs carry HDB income ceilings and a 5-year minimum occupation period, so they are a price-context reference, not a like-for-like comparable; Norwood Grand is in Woodlands (D25). Canberra Crescent Residences' full URA caveat range will be added here as transactions settle.
Family-sized, with a sliver of 1-bedders.
Across 376 homes the split is 3 one-bedders, 91 two-bedders, 198 three-bedders and 84 four-bedders, in a 409 to 1,324 sqft envelope. The three-bedroom is the bulk of the project at 52.7% — a clear owner-occupier mix built for the upgrader families the launch attracted, not the shoebox-investor crowd. The remaining stock after launch weekend was roughly 226 units spread across the types.
| Type | Count | Size (sqft) | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1-bedroom | 3 (rare) | 409 | from S$880,000 (~S$2,152 psf) |
| 2-bedroom | 91 | 570 – 667 | from S$1.11M (~S$1,950 psf) |
| 3-bedroom | 198 (the bulk · 52.7%) | 797 – 990 | from S$1.53M (~S$1,920 psf) |
| 4-bedroom | 84 | 1,163 – 1,324 | from S$2.2M (from S$1,880 psf) |
Unit counts and sizes are from EdgeProp's launch-weekend itemisation (which sums to 376); indicative starting prices are developer-reported. A second source (Stacked Homes) rolls the mix up slightly differently but reconciles to the same 376 total.

Canberra Crescent — a 10-minute walk from the MRT, not at its doorstep.
The site sits on Canberra Crescent, off Sembawang Road, in a low-rise, leafy stretch of District 27. Canberra MRT (NS12) on the North-South Line is about 760 m away — close to a 10-minute walk — with Sembawang MRT (NS11) about 1.0 km out. The location map shows the site (red) against the station (blue) and the nearest primary school (green).
Be honest with yourself about that 760 m. It's a genuine rail connection one stop from Sembawang interchange, but it isn't a covered link at the lobby — in the tropics, a daily walk of that length is worth pacing out at the showflat. Canberra station opened in 2019, so the line itself is mature and running.
Day-to-day, Canberra Plaza mall is about 720 m away and the Bukit Canberra integrated hub — ActiveSG gym, swimming complex, hawker centre and polyclinic — about 760 m. Sun Plaza at Sembawang MRT is roughly 1.1 km. This is a precinct that has mostly come together, with some retail and F&B depth still maturing.
A maturing precinct — and a lot of green and coast.
The honest picture: Canberra has mostly come together over the last few years, with some retail and dining depth still filling in. What's already real is the everyday convenience within a short walk — Canberra Plaza, the Bukit Canberra hub, the MRT — and the green-and-coast setting, from Sembawang Park's beach to the park-connector network and heritage black-and-white houses nearby.

Two buyers it fits — and one it doesn't.
A 40% launch with a 94% Singaporean buyer pool tells you exactly who this is for — and who it isn't. Here's where Canberra Crescent Residences genuinely fits, and where it doesn't.
A private title in the north, value-pitched to locals.
For a Sembawang or north-region family moving up from an HDB flat, this is a fully private condo — no income ceiling, no minimum occupation period — at a price that reads as value: S$1,974 psf average, well below Woodlands' Norwood Grand and a fraction of city pricing.
The buyer mix backs that up. 94% Singaporean, 6% PR and 0% foreigner or company is about as local as a launch gets, which is precisely the profile this product was pitched to.
Families who want space, nature and a calmer north.
The setting is low-rise and leafy, near Sembawang Park's beach, the hot spring park and the park-connector network. For a family that wants a brand-new, family-sized home in a quieter, greener corner — and has the MRT, a mall and the Bukit Canberra hub within a short walk — the 3 and 4-bedders are the natural fit.
The mix reflects that: three-bedders are the bulk at 52.7%, with four-bedders up to 1,324 sqft for the larger household and only a sliver of 1-bedders.
CBD commuters, capital-growth hunters and EC-eligible budget buyers.
If your day revolves around the CBD, District 27 is one of the furthest residential belts from town — the North-South Line commute runs 45 minutes-plus, and the station is a ~760 m walk, not a doorstep. If you're chasing near-term capital upside, the deep north-OCR supply pipeline (more ECs, condos and Woodlands catalysts) can cap that. And budget-led buyers who qualify for an Executive Condominium should weigh it honestly: the neighbouring Canberra ECs launched far lower on PSF — the trade-off being the income ceiling and the five-year minimum occupation period.
What the launch headlines won't tell you.
It's far north. District 27 Sembawang is one of the furthest residential belts from the CBD. The commute is North-South Line-dependent — Canberra to the city runs 45 minutes or more — and the MRT is a ~760 m walk rather than at the lobby.
40% at launch is a measured pace.150 of 376 units sold on the opening weekend, leaving roughly 226 behind. That's healthy, steady absorption for a far-north, almost entirely local launch — but it's well short of the 84–92% seen at better-connected 2024–25 launches, and it means a deeper resale and competition pool over the lease.
It's leasehold. 99 years from 2024, against the freehold landed stock that exists elsewhere in Sembawang. Standard for a Government Land Sales condo, but worth stating plainly.
There's a lot of north-OCR supply.The Canberra–Sembawang–Woodlands corridor has a substantial new-supply pipeline — more ECs, more condos, and Woodlands RTS catalysts. That build-out is part of the region's growth story, and also the stock your eventual buyer will be choosing from. Both sides are real.
The precinct is still maturing.Canberra Plaza and the Bukit Canberra hub are recent, and some retail and F&B depth, plus the broader Sembawang masterplan, are still filling in. The schools picture is reasonable but not dense — Wellington Primary is the main mainstream primary within ~1 km (Sembawang Primary sits at about the 1 km edge).
Around 226 units were left after launch weekend (August 2025).

What buyers keep asking.
- When is Canberra Crescent Residences expected to TOP? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences is expected to TOP around Q4 2029, per the developer's materials as of June 2026 — roughly a four-year build from the August 2025 booking date. We'll firm this up against the developer's sales documents as the legal completion date is published.
- What was the average launch PSF for Canberra Crescent Residences? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences launched at a S$1,974 psf average across the units transacted on launch weekend (2 August 2025), up from the S$1,880 psf indicative figure quoted at the preview. Note that S$1,880 psf is the lowest-PSF type (the larger 4-bedroom), not the cheapest home — the cheapest unit is actually a 1-bedroom from S$880,000, which works out to about S$2,152 psf. Smaller units carry a higher PSF; larger ones a lower PSF on a bigger quantum.
- How many units does Canberra Crescent Residences have, and what's left? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences has 376 units across four 12-storey blocks (Blks 51, 53, 55 and 57). 150 (40%) sold over the August 2025 launch weekend, leaving roughly 226 units after opening — a measured pace for a far-north launch rather than a sell-out. The live balance list refreshes as bookings settle; drop your details below for the current availability.
- Who is the developer? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences is developed by a joint venture of Kheng Leong Co. and Low Keng Huat (Singapore) Limited, through the project entity Peak Crescent Pte. Ltd. The same JV won the Canberra Crescent government land site for S$279 million (S$793 psf ppr) at a July 2024 tender. Kheng Leong is the privately held Wee family property arm; Low Keng Huat is a listed developer-contractor.
- Why is the buyer pool almost entirely local? +
- EdgeProp's transaction records show Canberra Crescent Residences' buyers were 94% Singaporean, 6% Permanent Resident and 0% foreigner or company. That makes Canberra Crescent Residences a pure heartland-upgrader product — a value-pitched, family-sized home in the far north, bought by locals rather than investors or overseas buyers. The deputy director of Kheng Leong framed the ~S$1,974 psf average as attractive against recent mass-market new-home prices.
- How far is the MRT? +
- Canberra MRT (NS12) on the North-South Line is about 760 m from Canberra Crescent Residences — roughly a 10-minute walk, not a doorstep connection. Sembawang MRT (NS11) is about 1.0 km out. Canberra station opened in 2019 and puts the estate one stop from Sembawang interchange, but you should walk the route yourself: 760 m in the tropics is a real consideration for a daily commute.
- What's the unit mix at Canberra Crescent Residences? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences offers 376 homes from 1 to 4 bedrooms, 409 to 1,324 sqft. The breakdown is 3 one-bedders (409 sqft), 91 two-bedders (570–667 sqft), 198 three-bedders (797–990 sqft — the bulk at 52.7%) and 84 four-bedders (1,163–1,324 sqft). It's an owner-occupier mix built for upgrader families, with only a sliver of 1-bedders. Exact per-stack sizes and counts are in the developer factsheet — request it via the form below.
- What schools are near Canberra Crescent Residences? +
- Wellington Primary is the main mainstream primary within ~1 km of Canberra Crescent Residences (~819 m, by OneMap), so it gets the within-1 km Primary 1 priority tier and the home-school-distance tie-break; Sembawang Primary sits at about the 1 km edge (~1.08 km). Endeavour Primary (~1.41 km) and Canberra Primary (~1.51 km) fall in the next 1–2 km band. It's a reasonable cluster within 2 km, but with one school firmly inside the closest tier, not a schools-dense catchment.
- How does it compare to the Canberra Executive Condominiums? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences sits well above the neighbouring Canberra ECs on price, but it's a different product. Parc Canberra (EC) launched in 2020 around S$1,085 psf and Provence Residence (EC) in 2021 at S$1,142 — both are income-capped Executive Condominiums sold under HDB rules, just a few hundred metres away. Canberra Crescent Residences launched at S$1,974 psf as a fully private condo with no income ceiling or minimum occupation period. If your priority is the lowest entry price and you qualify, the ECs are far cheaper; if you want a private title with no eligibility rules, this is the new private option in the immediate cluster.
- What was the land cost, and how competitive was the tender? +
- The Canberra Crescent Residences JV paid S$279 million for the ~219,985 sqft site, or S$793 psf ppr, at a Government Land Sales tender that closed 18 July 2024 with three bids. The runner-up — a consortium of Santarli Realty, Apex Asia Real Estate Holdings, BHCC Construction and Heeton Holdings — came in at S$275.09 million, just 1.4% behind, while GuocoLand was third at S$228.77 million. The tight gap to second place tells you the market read the land value the same way; that S$793 floor underpins the S$1,974 launch maths.
- Why did only 40% sell at launch? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences' 40% take-up at the August 2025 launch weekend is a measured pace for a far-north OCR private condo with an almost entirely local buyer base — solid, but short of the 84–92% seen at better-connected 2024–25 launches like Norwood Grand (84%) or Springleaf Residence (92%). It reflects a deeper north-OCR supply pipeline and a price a step up from the EC stock that dominates the immediate cluster. Read it as healthy, steady absorption — not a sell-out, not a flop.
- Is Canberra a sound long-term bet? +
- Canberra Crescent Residences is a bet on a still-maturing northern precinct. Canberra MRT opened in 2019, Canberra Plaza mall (~720 m) and the Bukit Canberra integrated hub (~760 m — ActiveSG gym, swimming complex, hawker centre, polyclinic) anchor day-to-day life within a short walk, and the estate sits near Sembawang Park's coast and the park-connector network. The upside is value-led north pricing in a greener, quieter setting; the risk is far-north distance from the CBD, leasehold tenure, and a substantial north-OCR supply pipeline that can cap near-term capital upside.
- How do I get the balance unit list or book a showflat? +

Reasons to think twice.
150 of 376 units sold on the opening weekend — solid, but not a stampede. Here's the bear case a buyer should sit with before committing to the far north.

- 0240% is a measured launch, not a sell-out.The 40% take-up was well below the 84–92% seen at better-connected 2024–25 launches. With roughly 226 units left after opening, the resale and rental pool you'll eventually compete in is deeper.
