Located in the north region of Singapore in the heart of Sembawang, EastLink I and II @ Canberra is sited across from Canberra MRT station and along Canberra Link. A series of elevated linkways connects Eastlink I (six residential blocks, 11 to 12 storeys) to Eastlink II (five 11 storey residential blocks)
Interlinked by a network of pedestrian walkways, the estate connects residents to Canberra Plaza with a community precinct market, and a 3-storey neighbourhood centre with child and elderly care facilities.
With multiple activity spaces geared towards all age groups, the complex has created a new vibrant neighbourhood as a family centric place of living. With its distinctive rhythmical coloured stripes inspired by flowing rivers, it serves as a landmark in Sembawang. The bands meander through the residential estate, weaving together activities, landscape spaces and playgrounds to celebrate community life.
