Thomson Reserve is the single most anticipated new launch in District 20 in 2026. 1,268 units across six towers from UOL Group, CapitaLand Development and Singapore Land Group — the same consortium that sold 87% of Parktown Residence on its opening weekend in February 2025.

MRT Connectivity

Upper Thomson MRT (TE8) is approximately 100 metres from the development's side gate — a two to three minute sheltered walk. Bright Hill MRT (TE7), 700 metres away, will be upgraded to a full TEL-Cross Island Line interchange by 2030.

Schools

Ai Tong School is within the 1km priority registration zone. Within 2km: Catholic High School, Raffles Institution, CHIJ St. Nicholas Girls' School, Marymount Convent School, and Anderson Primary School.

Unit Mix

2 Bedroom from ~$1.5M. 3 Bedroom from ~$2.1M. 4 Bedroom from ~$2.8M. 5 Bedroom Suite with Private Lift from ~$3.9M. Official floor plans to be released at VVIP Preview, 3 October 2026.

Pricing Analysis

Land cost $810M ($1,178 psf ppr). Estimated breakeven ~$2,050–$2,100 psf. Indicative launch pricing $2,300–$2,600 psf.

Growth Potential

The Bright Hill CRL interchange by 2030 will re-rate properties in the corridor. Supply scarcity in District 20 supports resale values. Ai Tong School 1km catchment creates structural rental demand. MacRitchie Reservoir frontage — permanent, unobstructable greenery.

Honest Pros & Cons

Pros: Three MRT stations within walking distance. Future CRL interchange at Bright Hill. Ai Tong School 1km. MacRitchie Reservoir frontage. Three of Singapore's most trusted listed developers. Non-PPVC construction.

Cons: 99-year leasehold. 1,268 units is a large development. Indicative PSF approaching RCR pricing. Expected TOP 2030–2031 — a long wait.
