Stacked Homes (3 December 2024) calls The Visionaire the first EC to market itself on a "smart home" angle; the developer bills it as Singapore's first EC with smart homes. It sits in the Canberra cluster of ECs and condos in Sembawang.
What can buyers of an EC like The Visionaire do with it?
ECs start out as public-private hybrids. The Visionaire's site was tendered well before 8 May 2026, so it falls under the older rules: a five-year minimum occupation period (MOP), which has now passed, after which units can be resold to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. Under those rules an EC is fully privatised, and can be sold to foreigners, 10 years after TOP. With completion in 2018, that point is around 2028. ECs on sites tendered from 8 May 2026 have a 10-year MOP instead and full privatisation after 15 years (Mothership, 8 May 2026). Our EC guide sets out the rules in full.
How far is The Visionaire from the MRT?
Stacked Homes gives about 530 m, or a six-minute walk, to Canberra station on the North-South Line, and about 970 m to Sembawang station. Check OneMap for your own route.
Which primary schools are near The Visionaire?
Stacked Homes lists two primary schools within 1 km: Sembawang Primary School (about 650 m) and Wellington Primary School (about 750 m). Priority admission distances are measured by the Singapore Land Authority, so confirm the exact distance for a specific unit on OneMap before relying on it.
How much has The Visionaire sold for?
| Period | Figure | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Launch, April 2016 | Average about S$821 psf | Stacked Homes, 3 December 2024 |
| February 2018 | Developer sales averaged about S$815 psf | Stacked Homes, 3 December 2024 |
| Resales to late 2024 | 205 profitable resales in its table (208 in its text), none at a loss; average gain S$507,543 (62%) over an average 6.8 years | Stacked Homes, 3 December 2024 |
| Last 12 months to September 2026 | 36 resales, average S$1,510 psf, range S$1,290 to S$1,683 psf (S$1.06 million to S$2.03 million) | Stacked Homes; EdgeProp gives the same average and psf range |
| 18 September 2026 | S$1.58 million (S$1,562 psf) for a 1,012 sq ft unit | Stacked Homes |
We checked the arithmetic: S$1.58 million ÷ 1,012 sq ft is about S$1,561 psf (the published figure uses the unrounded price). The 12-month resale average is about 84% above the 2016 launch average (1,510 ÷ 821 = 1.84). EC launch prices are set below private condo prices because of the eligibility conditions, so that gap partly reflects the EC moving towards private status, not only market growth. It also mixes unit sizes and floors; compare like-for-like units using URA caveats.
What do The Visionaire units rent for?
Stacked Homes gives a median rent of about S$4,000 a month for the past year. We do not quote a rental yield, because estimates differ between sites and a yield depends on each buyer's purchase price.
Who might The Visionaire suit?
This is a summary of trade-offs, not a recommendation. The Visionaire's distinctive points are an EC that has passed its MOP and is close to full privatisation, a short walk to Canberra MRT, two primary schools within 1 km, and larger layouts (no unit below 721 sq ft). The trade-offs: until privatisation only Singapore Citizens and PRs can buy, it is in the far north, about 87 to 88 years remain on the lease, and resale prices have already risen well above launch levels. Our lease decay guide explains how remaining lease affects CPF use and financing, and our District 27 guide covers the wider area. For a new EC nearby, see our Canberra Drive EC preview.

Correction
2 October 2026: An earlier version of this page described The Visionaire as a freehold, 127-unit boutique condo at 6 Kim Yam Road in District 9, developed by Heeton Holdings and completed in 2010, near Fort Canning MRT. That description does not match The Visionaire. The Visionaire is a 632-unit executive condominium at Canberra Drive in Sembawang (District 27), developed by Qingjian Realty on a 99-year lease from 2015 and completed in 2018. Unsupported claims about River Valley amenities, schools, rental yields and price cycles were removed, as was an offer of a paid "full report".
