Future and current residents can also look forward to new amenities and facilities to be developed alongside these projects too. With the soon to come Canberra MRT station, which is expected to be completed and open to the public in 2019, residents in Sembawang will enjoy much more convenience. Running along the North-South line, the Canberra MRT station will be situated in the middle of the Yishun and Sembawang MRT stations for Westwood Residences.
It is also expected that further development of the areas around Canberra MRT station will occur over the next few years. The land around this station is undeveloped at this time but the government is not likely to allow the newly completed MRT station to go underutilized. We are more than likely to see a rise in the release of land parcels for residential use and development. It is unknown at this point in time what ratio of residential projects will be. However, going by the URA Master Plan, it is expected that the new Canberra MRT station will have at least one development built next to it that is mixed in Westwood Residences Koh Brothers.
