Welcome to the Watergardens condo, a new award-winning 5-storey residential development launching for sale at Canberra Drive.

Officially called The Watergardens at Canberra, it is being built by United Venture Development (2020) Pte Ltd, a collaboration of UOL Group Limited, Singapore Land Group (formerly UIC) and Kheng Leong Company.

The Watergardens Condo at Canberra

::

The site of the Watergardens condo was previously forested land, sold by URA under the GLS (Government Land Sales) program. It flanks a small HDB precinct to its east, and Sembawang Springs Estate and Jalan Kemuning Park on its west.

Sembawang Springs Estate is a landed housing estate that has been around for a very long time. It is part of a sprawling low-rise residential enclave around Sembawang Shopping Centre.

Hence the Watergardens at Canberra acts as a sort of transition between the landed houses on the one side, and the HDB estate and MRT station on the other. Yet it is firmly part of the private housing belt that is low-rise and low-density in profile and character.

This new mid-sized development will be an interesting addition to the neighbourhood, that has not seen any new private home launches since The Nautical 8 years ago. The most recent ones have all been executive condominiums. Hence the Watergardens condo could find a market among those looking for a new private home in the neighbourhood, but who are not eligible for executive condos.

The Watergardens Singapore . The Project

The Watergardens @ Canberra will be the latest of UOL’s string of Masterpiece Homes, after the successful launch of Clavon in Clementi. These Masterpiece Homes feature quality residences set in beautifully landscaped grounds and gardens, that stand out from the usual run-of-the-mill products.

Many of these have sold out, like the Botanique at Bartley with its terraced grounds, the Tre Ver at Kallang River, and Principal Garden with its inviting green lawns.

The Water Gardens condo itself, as its name implies, will be interwoven with lots of gardens and water features. Given its low-rise nature against the backdrop of a landed estate, it is ideal for creating a lovely resort garden feel here.

UOL’s projects have tended to sell well, even those not at walking distance of an MRT station. Possibly due to their reputation for quality or their often more reasonable pricing, coupled with their very attractive landscape designs.

UOL is also known for creating homes with functional layouts and attention to detail, that testify to their depth of experience in this industry and emphasis on good design.

In the case of the Watergardens condo, it has the further advantage of being very close to an MRT station. Less than 5 minutes walk from the Canberra station on the North-South MRT line that goes directly down to Orchard Road and Raffles Place.

The Watergardens @ Canberra . The Location

This development is located in Sembawang district, which is often characterised as being rather remote and inconvenient.

However with the expansion of the expressway and MRT networks criss-crossing the island, travel times have been substantially reduced. This has the effect of making even the outer-most parts of Singapore fairly accessible. No part is really remote any more. For good or ill, based on how one looks at it, we have also lost what little “countryside” we had.

In this particular instance, with Canberra MRT station being 14 stops from Raffles Place, the Watergardens condo is about a 30 minute ride to Orchard Road, and 40 minutes commute to the CBD.

That is not a lot longer than from say, Punggol, or Upper Bukit Timah.

For those driving rather than taking a train, the North-South Corridor that is presently under construction, will be a boon. When completed in 2026, this new 21.5km long expressway will connect Sembawang and the northern region directly with the city centre, and lighten the current load on the CTE. It will also provide much faster access to the other expressways than is now the case.

The Watergardens at Canberra . Supporting Amenities

In the neighbourhood of the project are a number of supporting amenities. The nearest is the recently opened 3-storey Canberra Plaza, with 70 shops spread over 118,000 square feet of retail space. This neighbourhood centre is about 6 to 7 minutes walk away, directly linked to Canberra MRT station.

Despite the fact that it’s not very big, it offers a good mix of shops that provide all the basics. Here we have the usual fast foods outlets like McDonalds, A&W and KFC, coffee joints like Starbucks, cafes, bakeries, and a food court.

Other favourites include Ya Kun, fruit teas and bubble teas, and Daiso, anchored by medical and dental clinics, salons, and a Fairprice supermarket. The top floor is mainly devoted to enrichment centres that include tuition, music, ballet, and language schools.

In addition, there is Bukit Canberra, the 12-hectare Sembawang Integrated Hub presently under construction. This is a low-rise cluster of facilities scattered around the landscaped grounds of Admiralty Hill, about 1 km up Canberra Drive.

The facilities include an indoor sports hall, a hawker centre, senior care centre, polyclinic, a big ActiveSG gym and fitness studios, swimming complex, a therapeutic garden, and fruit orchard & community farm.

These are set against the backdrop of Admiralty House, a conservation building of historical significance that adds focus and character to the development.
