Pacific Holdings Sembawang Bid

Oriental Pacific Holdings has won the bid for the Sembawang Road Executive Condominium site, posting a price of about 692 Singapore dollars per square foot per plot ratio and outlining a plan for 265 units on a 1.9-hectare site. The winning bidder, Oriental Pacific Holdings, presented a proposal for an EC project on a 99-year leasehold site at Sembawang Road and Yishun Avenue 7, with eight blocks of five storeys each.

Residents will enjoy easy travel thanks to North-South Line access via Sembawang and Canberra MRT stations, linking residents to the North-South Line.

The site benefits from MRT proximity, linking residents to the North-South Line.

The project is categorized as an Executive Condominium development in District 27, serving residential needs within a well-established neighborhood. The site area is 1.9 hectares, and the development will feature a mix of two- to five-bedroom layouts, designed to attract both new homeowners and investors. The plan emphasizes a balanced living environment with modern layouts, open-concept kitchens, and generous master bedrooms.

Residents can expect common facilities such as a 50-meter lap pool, barbecue pits, a gym, children’s play areas, and function rooms, along with potential co-working spaces to support family and work-life balance. The development design draws inspiration from Singapore’s colonial architecture heritage, similar to the black-and-white bungalows found at historic sites like Adam Park.

The investment context notes that EC supply in the area is limited, which tends to support steady price momentum and demand from buyers seeking a relatively affordable entry into home ownership within a prime location. The project is positioned near Canberra MRT and Sembawang MRT on the North-South Line, offering a 25-minute ride to Orchard from Canberra station and convenient access to major expressways for motorists.

Nearby amenities include Sembawang Shopping Centre, Canberra Plaza, and Chong Pang Market, enhancing convenience for future residents.

From a planning perspective, the development sits within an area slated for URA Master Plan improvements and the transformative growth associated with the Woodlands Regional Centre, which may boost value over time. Education facilities are accessible, with Canberra Primary, Sembawang Primary, Wellington Primary nearby, and Ahmad Ibrahim Secondary within reach; higher education options include Yishun Innova Junior College and Republic Polytechnic.

The combination of limited competition, strong location, and family-oriented facilities suggests that the Sembawang Road EC could appeal to growing households and investors looking for value appreciation while maintaining a practical, community-focused lifestyle.
