Former Thomson View
A Landmark Site With a Remarkable Story
Thomson Reserve did not come easily. The site — the former Thomson View Condominium at Bright Hill Drive — spent 17 years and five collective sale attempts before finally reaching a successful outcome.
In October 2024, UOL Group, SingLand and CapitaLand Development secured the 540,000 sq ft site for S$810 million — the largest en bloc sale approved in Singapore since 2023. The High Court granted the sale order on 1 July 2025, and the acquisition was completed on 2 October 2025.
For buyers, this matters. Three SGX-listed developers committing S$810 million to a single site signals deep, long-term conviction in Upper Thomson — and in the value of what they are building here.
The result is Thomson Reserve: 1,240 homes on one of District 20’s largest and most elevated plots, jointly developed by three of Singapore’s most established names.

THOMSON RESERVE LOCATION: UPPER THOMSON & MACRITCHIE RESERVOIR
Thomson Reserve sits in a mature neighbourhood known for good food, greenery and strong schools. Daily essentials are close by, yet the surroundings remain calm and private.
Many buyers also search for a Bright Hill Drive condo because the area offers quick access to schools, MRT lines and nature parks.
Thomson Reserve is a District 20 new launch condo beside MacRitchie Reservoir and within walking distance to Upper Thomson MRT, Bright Hill MRT and Marymount MRT. This is one of the most anticipated projects in District 20 because it combines a well-loved neighbourhood, fast city access, strong schools and daily convenience in one mature location.
The development is planned and built by UOL, SingLand and CapitaLand, three of Singapore’s most established developers. Their track record for livable homes, smart layouts, reliable workmanship and healthy long-term values gives buyers confidence, especially for a project of this scale.
Thomson Reserve offers a rare blend of nature and transport. Few new launches can sit this close to MacRitchie Reservoir and still provide access to three MRT lines within a short walk. This balance of convenience and calm is one of the biggest reasons why families, upgraders and investors have shown early interest.

Why Thomson Reserve Stands Out
A home surrounded by greenery yet minutes from the city
For buyers looking for an Upper Thomson condo near MRT, this project offers direct access to MacRitchie’s walking trails, boardwalks and water views. The area has been a favourite weekend spot for decades, and living next to it gives homeowners a daily retreat. Even after work, a short walk brings you to shaded footpaths, the Treetop Walk trailhead or the quieter corners of the reservoir.
Three MRT stations within walking distance
| Connection | Line | Approx. Time |
|---|---|---|
| Upper Thomson MRT | Thomson–East Coast Line | 3-4 minutes walk |
| Bright Hill MRT | Thomson–East Coast Line + future Cross Island Line | 9 minutes walk |
| Marymount MRT | Circle Line | 13 minutes walk |
This is one of the few neighbourhoods in Singapore where you can walk to stations on three major MRT lines. It gives residents a practical alternative to driving and makes the project attractive for long-term tenants who want a quick commute to the CBD, Orchard or key employment clusters.
Upper Thomson MRT (TEL) — 3-4 minutes’ walk to Exit 2
Upper Thomson MRT on the Thomson-East Coast Line is the closest station, about a 300-400 metre walk. The TEL line links residents directly to Orchard, Outram Park, Marina Bay and future East Coast stations.
Bright Hill MRT (TEL + future CRL) — 9 minutes’ walk
Bright Hill MRT is around 700 metres away, or roughly a nine-minute walk. The station will become an interchange with the Cross Island Line, improving east–west travel and boosting long-term connectivity for residents looking for a Upper Thomson condo near MRT interchange.
The Cross Island Line (CRL) will interchange with Bright Hill MRT (TE7), just a 9-minute walk from Thomson Reserve. The CRL improves east–west connectivity across Singapore, linking residents to Ang Mo Kio, Hougang, Pasir Ris and Clementi without changing lines.
Marymount MRT (Circle Line) — 13 minutes’ walk
Marymount MRT sits about 1.1 kilometres away, roughly a thirteen-minute walk. Residents gain fast access to Bishan, Serangoon, Paya Lebar and HarbourFront through the Circle Line.
Having three MRT lines within comfortable walking distance is a rare advantage. It gives residents easy movement across different parts of Singapore without needing to rely heavily on driving.
Residents can reach Orchard, Outram, Marina Bay, Bishan, Serangoon and Paya Lebar quickly without relying on a car. The future Cross Island Line will further improve east-west travel and is expected to lift demand in this neighbourhood.
Road Connectivity and the North–South Corridor
Easy access to major expressways
Residents who drive will enjoy quick access to:
- Central Expressway (CTE)
- Pan Island Expressway (PIE)
- Lornie Highway
- Upper Thomson Road
- Dunearn Road
- Braddell Road
A drive to Orchard takes under twenty minutes, while the CBD can be reached in about half an hour.
The upcoming North–South Corridor (NSC)
The area will benefit from the new North–South Corridor, a major city-bound route featuring:
- Dedicated bus lanes
- Cycling routes
- Pedestrian-friendly paths
- An express viaduct for smoother traffic
The NSC passes through key areas near Upper Thomson, Bishan and Marymount, which means residents will enjoy faster travel in the future along a more efficient route. This is a meaningful long-term improvement for those who drive or depend on bus services. The new cycling and pedestrian network also adds lifestyle value for residents who prefer sustainable and active mobility options.
Drivers living at Thomson Reserve will find it easy to reach the Central Expressway, Pan Island Expressway, Lornie Highway, Dunearn Road and Braddell Road. These roads provide quick access to the city and northern residential areas. Read our analysis of what the new Upper Thomson BTO and infrastructure plans mean for Thomson Reserve.
With MRT lines, expressways and the future NSC all close by, the project offers strong transport convenience that appeals to both homebuyers and investors.
A Neighbourhood Surrounded by Nature
MacRitchie Reservoir — 12 minutes’ walk
MacRitchie is one of Singapore’s most iconic parks, popular for jogging, weekend strolls, kayaking and scenic boardwalks. The reservoir is about a 12-minute walk from Thomson Reserve.
MacRitchie Reservoir — just a 12-minute walk from Thomson Reserve. One of Singapore’s most beloved nature parks, offering jogging paths, boardwalks and calm waterfront views on your doorstep.
Treetop Walk Trailhead — 17 minutes’ walk
Residents can walk to the Treetop Walk trailhead in roughly 17 minutes. This route is ideal for families and active residents who enjoy longer hikes.
Lower Peirce Reservoir — 18 minutes’ walk
Lower Peirce Reservoir offers quiet forest trails and calm waters. It sits roughly an 18-minute walk from the project.
Panoramic nature and sunset views
Many homes at Thomson Reserve are expected to enjoy unblocked views of the MacRitchie canopy, tree lines and the western sky. The elevated terrain gives residents open sunset views, making the living spaces bright, peaceful and visually appealing.
This combination of walkable nature trails and scenic views sets this MacRitchie Reservoir new launch condo apart from many other city-fringe homes.
Daily Convenience for Residents
Upper Thomson is known for its food options, lifestyle services and established malls. Almost everything needed for day-to-day living is within walking distance.
Thomson Plaza — 5 minutes’ walk
A short 5-minute walk leads to Thomson Plaza, which offers:
- Supermarkets
- Clinics
- Bakeries
- Tuition centres
- Cafes
- Household shops
Upper Thomson food stretch — 4 minutes’ walk
Residents can reach the first row of eateries along Upper Thomson Road in about 4 minutes. This area is known for cafes, brunch spots, dessert shops, local favourites and late-night dining.
Junction 8 — 5 minutes’ drive
A short drive brings residents to Bishan’s Junction 8, with:
- Fashion
- Dining
- Entertainment
- Supermarkets
AMK Hub — 7 minutes’ drive
Ang Mo Kio Hub adds even more grocery, dining and retail options.
Everything needed for daily life is within walking distance or a quick drive, making the neighbourhood practical and enjoyable for families and working professionals.
Supermarkets, clinics, enrichment centres and bakeries are close by, making the area practical for families and working professionals.
A Highly Desired Schools Belt
District 20 has one of the strongest school networks in Singapore. Many parents choose this neighbourhood because it gives them access to recognised primary and secondary schools.
Many parents searching for a new launch near Ai Tong School include this project in their shortlist because it sits within a 1km distance and also close proximity of several recognised schools such as:
- Ai Tong School (within 1km)
- Catholic High School
- Raffles Institution
- Whitley Secondary School
- Guangyang Primary School
- Guangyang Secondary School
- Marymount Convent School
- Peirce Secondary School
- CHIJ St Nicholas Girls
- Multiple preschools including Modern Montessori and MindChamps
This strong cluster of schools supports long-term demand from local families and is a key driver of property values in the Thomson-Bishan area.
Facilities Designed for Comfort and Wellness
Thomson Reserve will offer a full range of facilities. Residents can expect a lap pool for regular swims, a family pool for weekend relaxation and spa pools for quiet downtime. Landscaped gardens provide a calm environment within the compound.
The gym will include equipment for strength and cardio workouts. Yoga decks, open pavilions and peaceful corners add more spaces for wellness.
Tennis courts, outdoor fitness areas and play zones give residents options for recreation. Parents will appreciate the children’s playground and family-friendly spaces. For gatherings and celebrations, function rooms and BBQ pavilions are available.
The landscaping will complement the surrounding nature, giving the project a pleasant and refreshing atmosphere.
Quality Finishes and Smart Home Features
Homes in the development are expected to come with practical layouts tailored for comfort and efficient use of space. The living and dining areas are designed for everyday functionality, and bedrooms offer privacy and comfort.
Smart home features will include digital locksets, app-based controls and selected remote-access features. These functions add convenience to daily living, such as controlling the air conditioning before arriving home or granting temporary access to deliveries.
Energy-saving appliances and water-efficient fittings help reduce utility costs. These features support modern living while keeping long-term running costs manageable.
