Where exactly is Canberra Drive EC?
The site is bounded by Canberra Drive and Jalan Sendudok in Sembawang, District 27. It sits between Canberra Residences and Jalan Sendudok Park, opposite the earlier EC projects The Visionaire and The Brownstone, and within about a 10-minute walk of Canberra MRT station on the North-South Line.
The land parcel
HDB launched the tender on 26 May 2026. These are the numbers the tender actually specifies, before any developer has touched them.
At roughly 185 homes, this is a small project by EC standards. Recent ECs have run from 265 to nearly 600 units. A smaller project means fewer neighbours and shorter queues at the pool, and usually a narrower spread of unit types, because a developer with limited gross floor area tends to concentrate on the layouts most buyers want.
Getting around
Canberra MRT opened in 2019 on the North-South Line, between Sembawang and Yishun. From the site it is a walk of roughly ten minutes, with Canberra Plaza directly beside the station. Drivers reach the Seletar Expressway and the Bukit Timah Expressway through Sembawang Road and Canberra Link, and the North-South Corridor will add express bus lanes and cycling routes along the same axis when it opens.
If commuting time decides this purchase for you, walk the route from the parcel to the station gantry before launch day, at the hour you would actually leave the house.

Schools within about 1 km
ERA's commentary on the tender places Sembawang Primary School and Wellington Primary School within a 1 km radius of the site. For Primary 1 registration the distance is measured from your home address, and the 1 km and 2 km bands decide your priority, so check the exact measurement on OneMap rather than trusting any marketing map, including this one.
The EC track record in Canberra
This stretch of Sembawang has absorbed several ECs already: The Brownstone and The Visionaire, then Parc Canberra and Provence Residence. That history matters for a buyer in two ways. It shows the area supports EC demand, and it means there is real resale data nearby to look at when the developer finally publishes prices, instead of taking a launch brochure at face value.
What the site does not tell you yet
Nothing about the building exists. Block placement, storey height, facing, unit mix, facilities and the entrance point are all the developer's decisions after the award. Any floor plan or artist's impression labelled "Canberra Drive EC" today is not from the developer.
