Accessibility
The Visionaire is minutes by walking from the new Canberra MRT station (500m) along the North-South Line (NSL). Sembawang MRT Station is also close by. Both stations offer a very quick commute to the Central Business District (CBD) and Orchard Road.
While The Visionaire puts you in a location where you wouldn’t need a car as opposed to other residences in the area, the condominium is still well-connected with the rest of Singapore via two major expressways, Seletar Expressway (SLE) and Central Expressway (CTE).
On top of that, the new North-South Corridor (slated for completion in 2026) renders an even faster commute from Sembawang directly to the rest of Singapore.
