How Does The Location Compare To Other ECs?

With Parc Canberra having the advantage of being the nearest EC located to an MRT station in the current batch of release, Provence Residences EC comes in second for nearest distance to MRT as it is a short 7 minutes’ walk to Canberra MRT Station.

Being located in the Sembawang district, Provence Residence is very near to the newly opened Canberra Plaza, hence it will benefit from future transformation that are currently under development progress such as the North-South Corridor – a brand new 21.5km long expressway connecting the northern region directly to the city centre, while also linking to other expressways such as the PIE, SLE, and ECP. The North South Corridor is slated for completion by 2026 and is expected to take away some of the possible congestion from the CTE.

Provence Residence EC is conveniently accessible to the CBD area via MRT. The 14 train stops from Canberra station to Raffles Place on the North-South line, takes approximately 40 minutes. The train travel duration from Sembawang to the CBD area is comparable to places such as Clementi, Punggol, or Upper Bukit Timah districts.

The construction of Bukit Canberra, a 12-hectare Sembawang Integrated Hub will be completed in the near future. It sits on Admiralty Hill, located diagonally across the traffic junction from Provence Residence EC.
