Location
Thomson Reserve location: MRT, schools and nature
Thomson Reserve sits at 1–11 Bright Hill Drive in District 20, on the south-east edge of the Central Catchment. Reservoirs and nature parks lie on one side and the city on the other, with Upper Thomson MRT next to the site.
Getting around
- Upper Thomson MRT (Thomson–East Coast Line). About a minute from the Bright Hill Drive entrance. A pedestrian gate beside the main entrance opens onto the sheltered linkway network leading to the station.
- Bright Hill MRT, one stop away. It becomes an interchange with the Cross Island Line when the line's first phase opens, which LTA expects in 2030.
- Two vehicle entrances. The main arrival is on Bright Hill Drive, with a guardhouse, and a second entrance on Sin Ming Avenue has a guard post.
- Upper Thomson Road frontage. The site runs along Upper Thomson Road, and ground-level homes sit about three to four storeys above the road.
- North–South Corridor. LTA says the new expressway will ease traffic on the CTE and on Thomson and Marymount Roads. Its tunnel, from Lentor Avenue to the East Coast Parkway, is due to open in phases from 2031 (LTA, 17 Sep 2026).

Nature on every side
The Central Catchment wraps around the north and west. MacRitchie Reservoir and Windsor Nature Park lie to the south-west, and the Singapore Island Country Club and the Lower and Upper Peirce reservoirs lie to the north-west. Low-rise landed estates surround much of the site, which keeps the views open.
Inside the grounds, the towers cover only 12% of the 5-hectare site. The rest is gardens, lawns and a chain of pools inspired by MacRitchie Reservoir, running about 500 m from end to end.
Outlook by direction
- NWSingapore Island Country Club, Lower & Upper Peirce Reservoirs
- W·SWWindsor Nature Park, the Windsor Park landed estate and Bukit Timah
- SMacRitchie Reservoir and the Orchard Road skyline
- SEThe CBD skyline
According to the architect, more than 45% of the stacks face the Central Catchment, about 35% look over the estate's own landscaping and pools, and over 80% have a green or landscape view.
Next door: Thomson Three
The completed Thomson Three condominium, with three 21-storey towers and cluster houses, sits in a pocket along the northern edge of the site, between Blocks 5 & 7 and Blocks 9 & 11. Stacks in Block 11 and Block 9 that face it look onto its towers from about 35 to 80 m away. Higher floors in the 30-storey Luxury blocks look over its roofline.
