— YOUR ADVISOR

Hi, I'm Edwin Wee.

Property advisor with PropNex (CEA Reg. No. R027823A). I'm tracking Thomson Reserve from preview day — I'll give you the straight numbers: what your budget buys at different launch scenarios, whether your timeline beats the SSD clock, and the honest cons, not just the pros. No obligation, no pressure.

Then: my 60-second breakdown.

— THREE SNEAK PEEKS

Why the market is
watching this one.

Straight from the developer's teaser — three things that set Thomson Reserve apart from every other 2026 launch.

01

Two Distinct Collections

The Classic Collection and the Luxury Collection — two tiers of living within one estate. Luxury homes come with private lifts, including the 5-Bedroom Suite.

02

Three Clubs. 80+ Facilities.

Grand Clubhouse, Island Club and Wellness Club — three unique facility zones with over 80 facilities across the estate. Resort scale, not condo scale.

03

Four Designer Show Units

Four uniquely styled show units, each thoughtfully curated by a prestigious interior designer — a first look at the two collections' finish.

— THE SITE

A sanctuary,
perfectly placed.

Rising on the former Thomson View Condominium site, Thomson Reserve spans ~51,567 sqm (GPR 2.1) — one of District 20's largest residential canvases, framed by MacRitchie Reservoir, Windsor Nature Park and the Peirce reservoirs.

  • Grand arrival — main entrance on Bright Hill Drive, designed as a full arrival sequence
  • Second entrance on Sin Ming Avenue for flexible access
  • 2-min sheltered walk to Upper Thomson MRT (TE8) Exit 2 via an integrated pedestrian gateway at the main entrance
  • Six towers angled for views — reservoir & park vistas or internal garden views, no direct overlooking between blocks
  • Unblocked south frontage — faces low-rise landed estates and Windsor Park
  • Bicycle-friendly routes + pedestrian network across the estate

— THE VIEWS

Unblocked views that
can never be built over.

Thomson Reserve borders the Central Catchment Nature Reserve — a permanent, protected green backdrop. Nature-facing units enjoy panoramic views that are unobstructable by future development — a true rarity in Singapore's dense urban landscape.

RCR land cost,
below OCR prices.
