WHY KANDIS RESIDENCE?
Embarked on the "First Mover Advantage" for the North Region of Singapore according to the Master Plan 2019 (Click here for more information) which guides Singapore's development in the medium term over the next 10 to 15 years.
With the upcoming integrated developments - Bukit Canberra, Canberra Plaza, and Woodlands Health Campus - families in the North will be able to meet their daily needs near their homes.
Residents of the North will soon have a variety of new live, work and play options. There will be new amenities and public housing developments planned around existing and upcoming MRT stations, including Canberra MRT.
More recreational activities and community spaces into Singapore Racecourse will be injected so that more people from all walks of life can enjoy the place. Alongside other nearby attractions such as Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve and the Mandai wildlife parks, Kranji will become a launch pad for fun activities for families, the young and the old.

Once Sembawang Shipyard’s operations cease, the site has the potential to be redeveloped into a mixed-use waterfront lifestyle precinct while taking into consideration its rich maritime history. The shipyard's unique coastal profile presents opportunities for new waterfront public spaces. Selected buildings can also be re-purposed to introduce suitable uses that will bring new life into the area.
NORTH-SOUTH CORRIDOR
The 21.5km NSC will better connect the Northern and Central parts of Singapore, serving motorists travelling between the city centre and towns including Woodlands, Sembawang, Yishun, Ang Mo Kio, Bishan and Toa Payoh.
It will intersect various expressways, including the Seletar Expressway (SLE), Pan Island Expressway (PIE) and East Coast Parkway (ECP).
Expected to be completed by 2026 (Click here for more information), the NSC will include bus lanes and cycling trunk routes.
The continuous bus lanes are expected to cut commuters' journey times by an average of 10 to 15 minutes per trip, said LTA. Cycling routes will link up with the Park Connector Network and local cycling paths within HDB towns along the entire corridor.

Kandis Residence will have easy access to the North-South Corridor viaduct between Yishun Avenue 5 and Admiralty Road West via the entry/exit ramp along Gambas Avenue and Sembawang Road.
FEASIBILITY OF NEW RAIL LINE
The Land Transport Authority (LTA) will study the feasibility of constructing a new rail line to serve the developing north and northeastern regions of Singapore. (Click here for more information)
The new line would supplement the transport network in those areas to serve new and growing developments as well as existing towns which currently do not have direct access to the rail network, LTA said in its Land Transport Master Plan 2040 (LTMP 2040) which was released on Saturday (May 25).
The proposed line could cover areas such as Woodlands, Sembawang, Sengkang and Serangoon North, as well as Whampoa, Kallang and the Greater Southern Waterfront, LTA added.
As part of the feasibility study, LTA will assess issues such as demand, station locations and how long developing the new line would take. It will also take into account existing and future land use developments along the corridor.
“When completed in phases, the line could serve more than 400,000 households, with commuters in the northern region of Singapore enjoying time savings of up to 40 minutes to the city centre,” said LTA.
It also said that the new line could relieve increasing travel demand along the northeast corridor and strengthen the overall resilience of the MRT network.
