With an estimated completion date in 2029, this BTO project has the shortest waiting time for aspiring homeowners who can’t wait to get their own space.
In fengshui, the right timing is as important as being in the right environment with the right people. Could Sembawang Portico be your ideal fengshui home? Read on for our in-depth fengshui review to find out!
Landform fengshui: Sembawang Portico
In Singapore, the Five Dragon Landform Fengshui harnesses “hidden dragons”, which are man-made structures that channel energy flows. From the lens of fengshui, roads act as “dragon veins”, skyscrapers as “mountain dragons” offering stability and waterways serve as wealth-attracting “water dragons”.
The five auspicious dragons, namely Eastern, Western, Southern, Northern and Central, along with the Singapore and Kallang Rivers, converge to drive the city’s growth and prosperity, with each dragon influencing a region’s success.
Bounded by Admiralty Lane and Sembawang Drive, Sembawang Portico sits within Sembawang North. This new BTO development is near the tail of the Southern Dragon, which favours residential and commercial developments. The dragon’s tail represents stability and gradual growth (rather than explosive success like the dragon’s head). Hence, residents here must be patient and adaptable to thrive over time.
Landform fengshui: Sembawang Portico
Similar to Sembawang Brook, Sembawang Portico belongs to the fengshui formation of “Thriving Bamboos”. Bamboos are an auspicious symbol in Chinese culture, indicating the potential for growth and progress. Thus, this formation promises positive influences for residents in Sembawang. To attain success, residents should stay down-to-earth, work hard and take all matters in stride.
Note: Selecting a suitable flat could be daunting, especially for first-time homeowners. If in doubt, leave it to the professionals. Way Fengshui provides end-to-end fengshui services from selecting an ideal unit to helping you create a harmonious environment in your new home.
Exterior fengshui considerations

As one’s external environment accounts for more than interior considerations, it is important to consider features of the surrounding space when selecting a new home.
Located in a residential enclave, Sembawang Portico enjoys a relatively quiet and tranquil environment with easy access to everyday amenities. Residents will get easy access to food options, neighbourhood shops and community facilities, while still enjoying the greenery and slower pace that Sembawang is known for.
Young families or those with school-age children will be pleased to know that several primary schools lie within a 1km radius. These schools include Canberra Primary School, Endeavour Primary School, Wellington Primary School and Northoaks Primary School.
In fact, Northoaks Primary School sits across the road from Sembawang Portico along Admiralty Walk. Certain stacks at Block 434A face the school directly, implying noise and heavier traffic during peak hours. For those seeking peace and quiet, you may want to consider stacks that are further away.
For those planning to choose a lower-floor unit, do note that stack 405, 407, 409, 411, 413, 415, 447, 449, 451, 453, 471 and 473 face the 7-storey Multi-Storey Car Park (MSCP) directly. Residents on the lower floors may be affected by conflicting forces (煞气) such as noise pollution (噪音) and headlight flashes from moving cars. As this could cause disturbances to daily life, such as insomnia, quality soundproofing is essential.
When choosing your unit, it also helps to take into consideration future developments near your estate. Sembawang Portico is surrounded by several sites reserved for future high-rise residential development. This calls for caution against potential conflict points, as well as pollution and negative energies (Sha Qi) during the construction period.
High-rise buildings in proximity present a potential risk of conflicts, such as Tian Zhan Sha (天斩煞) (home’s frontage facing an opening between two or more building structures that funnel negative energies), corner Sha (角煞), where sharp corners present hidden threats, etc. If you encounter such scenarios, don’t hesitate to consult a professional fengshui master for appropriate fengshui measures.
Internal fengshui considerations
When it comes to choosing an ideal unit, keep in mind that a house’s main orientation will directly influence the overall luck of its residents. The house orientation refers to the facing of your house, which can typically be measured from the main entrance where qi flows in.

Sembawang Portico comprises three residential blocks with a total of 875 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-room, 4-room and 5-room flats at 26 storeys high. One of the blocks will include 50 rental flats.
Based on fengshui analysis, North and South are the most auspicious directions in the Period 9 and 1 (years 2024 – 2063), and Northwest and Southeast are the second most auspicious directions. You are recommended to choose a unit that faces either of these directions or lies at the border of these directions to tap into the positive energies.
We have categorised these Plus flats at Sembawang Portico under the Period 9 Auspicious Home Ranking chart, as listed below.
Most units at Sembawang Portico face auspicious directions of the current fengshui period. However, all stacks lie on the boundary between two directions, indicated with the warning sign. Aspiring homebuyers should consider getting a professional fengshui consultation for guidance.
Also, units located near the lift are likely to encounter unstable magnetic fields at home, which could lead to household disharmony and health issues. Thankfully, there are fengshui remedies for such situations.
Did you know?
Period 9 corresponds with the South, representing a strong Fire element. As such, it is best to review and make adjustments if your bedroom falls in the South sector or has too much of the Fire element, which can disrupt sleep.
For example, the colours Red and Orange are associated with the Fire element. It is best to avoid such colours in the bedroom and opt for neutral colours or those that are suited to your Bazi (and those of your spouse).
For optimal fengshui benefits, you should also align your bed position with your Bazi needs. Note that flying stars tend to change position every year, which may in turn influence your health or relationship for a particular year.
Did you know that Period 9 is influenced by a wealth star, indicating growing fortune and propitiousness? If your home faces North or South, which are the most auspicious directions in the current fengshui period, consider seeking a fengshui consultation for your home renovation so you and your household members can better grasp opportunities as well as create wealth.
Which fengshui BTO units to choose in Sembawang Portico?
As with most things in life, getting it right from the start will save you lots of effort. More than just the correct placement of furniture or avoiding certain colours, home fengshui looks into compatibility amongst the homeowners and your living spaces.
Sembawang Portico sits on a favourable fengshui land with most units facing auspicious directions of Period 9. One of its plus points is the short waiting time, and if you are planning your move-in timeline for 2029, your flat is well-positioned time-wise to ride the peak wealth and career stars of Period 9.
