Accompanying these developments will be new facilities and amenities to serve current and future residents.

Canberra Station will be located between the Sembawang and Yishun stations along Canberra Link. The new station will serve commuters living in nearby estates such as Sembawang Springs, together with upcoming private and public residential developments nearby.

When the station opens, commuters headed to the city centre or Jurong East can save up to 10 minutes of travel time, as they no longer have to take a bus to transfer to Sembawang or Yishun MRT station, said LTA.

Better Connectivity and More routes Getting ready for more population in the North Region

HIGHER DEMAND FOR ECs WITH ITS HIGH PROFIT MARGIN AND LOW ENTRY PRICE

Owners of Executive Condominiums (EC) stand a huge capital potential appreciation in due of the low entry price to purchase a unit compared to private condominiums.

After a period of 10 years, the EC will be privatised, changing its status to be on level to a private condominium. Foreigners will be able to purchase the unit then. Owners typically enjoy a capital gain after their EC is privatised.

The above table shows a significant increase in capital appreciation for EC owners. 

Purchasing an EC in Brownstone is extremely promising as we may look into such capital appreciation after it becomes privatised over time.

As the entry price for an Executive Condominium (EC) is much lower than a private condominium, demand for ECs has been on the rise. New EC units are generally 15-30% cheaper than private condominiums. In addition, first timer are entitled to receive a CPF Housing Grant of up to S$30,000. These make EC an extreme worthwhile asset to purchase. 

Physical features are similar when comparing between a new executive condominium with a private condominium. This include facilities such as gym, clubhouse, security guard, tennis court, swimming pool and many more.

Future residents will enjoy living in Brownstone having very good accessibility to Canberra MRT Station, and the MRT line offers a comprehensive network around Singapore. Together with the lush greenery that Sembawang has and the convenience of having a new Canberra Plaza, residents are looking at a long term investment with high profit margin.

When doing a comparison between an executive condominium and private condominium, we know that both EC and private condominiums offer the same features such as swimming pool, gym, tennis court and many more, 

As resale executive condominiums are typically larger in space comparing to its counterpart and with a lower entry price, demand has increased for the resale ECs. This has led to a narrowing of price gap.

Owners of resale ECs have profited greatly in the market with their low entry price and they had enjoyed the bigger space and same facilities.

With the new private condominiums in the vicinity transacting at about S$1000 psf, makes Brownstone a value buy as it will be 20-30% more affordable than other developments around.

Singapore property landscape is gearing towards more functional and efficiency of space. Brownstone offers both of these. Its units prices range from $596,000 for a two-bedroom, $695,200 for a three-bedroom and $835,200 for a four-bedroom, at an average price of S$810psf.

With the Northern Region of Singapore transforming into a life-style and commercial hub, the attractive pricing of Brownstone EC, being 20-30% more affordable than other new private condominiums within the vicinity, will offer a significant upside for its homebuyers.
