Location

Disclaimer: Information will be updated/corrected with new data

The Clement Canopy is located along Clementi Avenue 1, and in many ways, it personifies the maturity of the district. But what defines a mature district? A mature district is one that has conveniences in spades, most of which are typically found a few minutes by walking or at the least, a short bus ride away.

The Clement Canopy can lay claim to that title as it achieves both.

Located between Clementi Avenue 1 and the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), the UOL Group Limited & Singapore Land Limited’s 99-year leasehold project is already taking the notion of convenience to heart. After all, when travelling is easy, you’re starting on the right foot.

Ingress and egress to the AYE is done through Avenue 1, onto Clementi Road, all of which takes a few minutes barring traffic.

Clementi MRT and Bus Interchange are a bit of a ways away and though it’s possible to walk there, the location of the condo – being around a curve – and where the side gate is going to be placed will determine the viability of this. Residents can realistically expect there to either be a shuttle bus service There. Even if there isn’t one, there are feeder buses from nearby bus stops – nearest being just across the road via overhead bridge –  that travel toward the MRT station and by extension, Clementi Mall.

The mall’s anchor tenants are Best Denki, NTUC Foodfare, NTUC FairPrice Finest and BHG Department store. Additionally, the Clementi Public Library as well as the West Coast Town Council’s office is located within the mall. There’s even a Courts and Art Friend located next to FairPrice.

Just across Clementi Avenue 3 is the Clementi Sports Hall and the Clementi Swimming Complex while across the AYE Toll road is Clementi Stadium. The sports hall is technically just across the road from where The Clement Canopy will be but since that road is both the AYE toll road and the Clementi Flyover, walking will likely require going a big round. The good news is that there is an overhead bridge linking where The Clement Canopy is to the other side of the AYE. Residents can just use the bridge to get to that side of the road and hop on a bus to the mall or walk if they’re so inclined.

Realistically, getting to the sports hall or the MRT station should take roughly 10-minutes, 15-minutes at the most excluding waiting time for the bus.

Much closer to home however are some really prominent highlights. Next to the property are NUS High School with its own boarding house. Directly across Clementi Road is the Yale-NUS College and the entirety of the University Town. Also close by are Nan Hua High which is just across Clementi Avenue 1 and Church of the Holy Cross which occupies a nook slightly above NUS High, at the junction where Avenue 1 meets Clementi Road.

Diagonally across is New Town Secondary School while a Sheng Siong supermarket is in Casa Clementi, along Avenue 1 but in the direction of Commonwealth Avenue W. There are also other schools and malls in the vicinity, like the International Community School across the AYE and the West Coast Plaza along West Coast Road.

The Clement Canopy by virtue of being somewhat in the middle of Clementi MRT and Dover MRT also puts residents and students close to other schools like New Town Secondary which is along Dover Road and Singapore Polytechnic.

Access to the AYE also puts NUS, along Kent Ridge Road, within reach.

With all these conveniences either within walking distance or a short drive/bus ride away, it’s difficult to stop talking about The Clement Canopy. It’s hard to stop talking about the location around the condo because there’s just too many things to talk about. There are more schools, shops, cafes and other interesting things around.

And that, is a problem any new resident will be happy to have.
