17 years. 5 failed attempts. A High Court case.
And now it's becoming one of the biggest launches Singapore will see this year — 1,268 units at Thomson Reserve, less than 5 minutes' walk from Upper Thomson MRT.
We sat down and went through the whole thing properly:
▪️ The developer's break-even is $2,058 psf — what that tells us about launch pricing
▪️ Luxury vs Classic collection: the real difference in layouts and sizes
▪️ The facings we'd be cautious about (busy road + west sun)
▪️ Is the 1km school catchment worth paying a premium for? We pulled actual transactions from JadeScape — the gap is smaller than you'd expect
▪️ Thomson Three's 13-year price gap, and what a fair quantum looks like here
▪️ Why this pocket of D20 could be the next Bishan
We're holding off on buy / wait / avoid until indicative sizes and pricing are out. Part 2 will cover that.
