On Dec 13, developer Qingjian Realty (South Pacific) Group announced it had sold all 632 units at The Visionaire EC in Sembawang. Launched in April 2016, the EC is a five-minute walk from the future Canberra MRT station, according to Qingjian.

A key feature of The Visionaire, says Qingjian, is that its homes will be equipped with smart devices. Among them are smart IP cameras, smart temperature sensors and smart lock systems. This is complemented by smartphone application hiLife, which allows owners to book facilities conveniently.

According to Qingjian, The Visionaire “marked the start of a move by developers in Singapore to offer smart home features on a bigger scale in new developments”.

Qingjian also announced that phase two of Le Quest and its Shunfu Ville development will be launched in 2018.
