Canberra Plaza

Located at 133 Canberra Vw, #B1-03/04 Canberra Plaza, Singapore 750133 When HDB returned to building neighbourhood centres after a 16-year hiatus, Canberra Plaza was the result — a three-storey New Generation Neighbourhood Centre at 133 Canberra View in Sembawang that opened in December 2020 and immediately set a new benchmark for community-focused retail in Singapore. Designed by SAA Architects with a nautical theme inspired by the nearby Sungei Simpang Kiri canal, this 120,000 sq ft mall serves as a complete live–work–play–learn hub for the growing northern residential community. Across 70 commercial units, the mall covers an impressive spread of dining, retail, and essential services. NTUC FairPrice and Daiso anchor the basement level, while McDonald's (with a rare indoor playground), A&W, KFC, Starbucks, Ya Kun Kaya Toast, BreadTalk, Guardian pharmacy, and a 24-hour 7-Eleven fill the upper floors. A free-access water playground, a sheltered community plaza for events, and elevated pedestrian link bridges to surrounding HDB precincts make this far more than a typical heartland shopping centre. Canberra MRT Station (NS12) on the North-South Line is directly linked via a sheltered footbridge — just 91 metres away. Bus services 117, 169, and 883M also stop nearby.
