Thomson Reserve Review: The Former Thomson View En Bloc — Worth Buying at Launch?

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 BishanWe're holding off on buy / wait / avoid until indicative sizes and pricing are out. Part 2 will cover that.
