Canberra Plaza and Canberra MRT station are slightly further and we figure that very few residents will find these convenient, as there are no direct bus services and the hilly walk across a landed estate is a hassle.<\/li>\n<li>There are currently a couple of day care\/infant care centres within 500 metres of the Sembawang BTO site, and HDB has decided to include another childcare centre within the development itself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bukit Canberra.<\/strong> Located across the road from the Sembawang BTO site, this massive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.channelnewsasia.com\/news\/videos\/sembawang-integrated-hub-to-be-called-bukit-canberra-video-10488840\">integrated sport and community hub<\/a> will be fully up and running by the time residents move in.

Source: HDB<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The Cons: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Depending on which block you choose, you\u2019ll get a different number of primary schools within 1km. Residents living in blocks closest to Legundi Park and Sembawang Shopping Centre will be within 1km to just one primary school (Sembawang Primary School), but blocks closer to Bukit Canberra will have an additional school (Wellington Primary School) within 1km. That being said, there are future school sites that we\u2019ll talk about in the \u2018What else we noted\u2019 section of this review.<\/li>\n<li>The nearby Sembawang Air Base is home to Singapore\u2019s helicopter squadron. While there are no deafening noises from fighter jets here, residents might have to put up with intermittent sounds from RSAF choppers, which are thankfully far less noisy.<\/li>\n<li>Stacks directly facing Sembawang Avenue and Sembawang Road will suffer some noise pollution as these are major roads with a consistent flow of traffic, with a fair share of heavy vehicles.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Getting a private hire car might prove difficult at times, given the location, and rides to the city will be expensive, given the distance.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It will take residents about 45 minutes to get to Orchard, and about an hour to get to the CBD via the MRT.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t expect high-rise living. The height of the Sembawang BTO flats will average around ten storeys, lower than the existing HDB flats across the road.<\/p>\n<p>According to HDB\u2019s method of deriving BTO prices, the high resale prices of recently-MOPed flats in Canberra might push up the launch prices of the November 2020 Sembawang BTO, beyond what we estimated.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What else we noted about the Sembawang BTO, Sun Sails<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The primary school situation could soon improve in time to come. There are three sites earmarked for primary schools along Sembawang Crescent, Canberra Walk and Canberra Crescent. When the primary school at Sembawang Crescent is built, residents of this Sembawang BTO will be within 1km of at least two primary schools. Blocks closer to Bukit Canberra will still have an edge, and will be within 1km to FIVE primary schools when all of them are up and running.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For accessibility, blocks that are closest to the bus stop along Sembawang Road might be a better choice than the blocks nearest to Sembawang MRT station.<\/strong> These stacks happen to be near Sembawang Shopping Centre and numerous food options along Jalan Legundi and Jalan Tampang, so it\u2019s really a win-win.<\/li>\n<li>Public Service Announcement: Although tempting, please don&#8217;t try to jaywalk across Sembwang Avenue and Sembawang Road, as cars here tend to travel at high speeds and many heavy vehicles ply these roads.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Our verdict on the Nov 2020 Sembawang BTO, Sun Sails<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>For a BTO project in a non-mature estate, Sun Sails serves up a pretty long and impressive list of plus points. And within this list of plus points is a great balance of existing amenities and future developments that makes savvy property buyers sit up and pay attention.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the \u2018cons\u2019 of the Sembawang BTO are by no means dealbreakers. Accessibility concerns, for instance, can be addressed if residents get their own car. <strong>And there&#8217;s a lot that can be accomplished on foot; rarely can non-mature estate BTO projects boast about having a shopping mall, dining cluster and a sport-and-community hub at their doorstep, so there\u2019s really not a lot to miss even without a car.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What this all means is that this Sembawang BTO project, which will likely be priced cheaper than the Tengah BTO in the same launch, is an absolute bang for your buck. Successful applicants will also benefit from nearly guaranteed capital appreciation after their Minimum Occupation Period (MOP) is over.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Let&#8217;s showcase the possible increase in value of a Sembawang HDB flat after five years of its completion by looking at a recently-sold five-room HDB flat at EastCrown@Canberra. The unit was purchased as a BTO flat for about $320,000 in May 2013, and sold in September 2020 for $520,000\u2014a eye-popping $200,000 in profit.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Given the attributes of the Nov 2020 Sembawang BTO site, we\u2019ll likely see a surge of applicants far beyond the 720 flats available here. If you miss out on this and need a home soon, we suggest looking at resale flats in the same price range <a href=\"https:\/\/www.99.co\/singapore\/sale?listing_type=sale&amp;main_category=hdb&amp;map_bounds=1.391157%2C103.75482%2C1.475192%2C103.86918&amp;name=Woodlands%20%28HDB%20Town%29%2C%20Yishun%20%28HDB%20Town%29&amp;page_num=1&amp;page_size=35&amp;property_segments=residential&amp;query_coords=1.3039947%2C103.8298507&amp;query_ids=htwoodlands%2Chtyishun&amp;query_limit=radius&amp;query_type=hdb_town&amp;radius_max=1000&amp;rental_type=unit&amp;show_cluster_preview=true&amp;show_future_mrts=true&amp;show_future_mrts=true&amp;zoom=14\">at nearby Yishun and Woodlands<\/a>.
