Upper Thomson is quickly coming into its own as the next foodie, nature and lifestyle haunt, especially with its connectivity heightened by the upcoming Thomson-East Coast MRT line. This leafy North-east suburb will soon be just a short train trip away from the town centre, the CBD and even the other ends of the island.
The number of new condominiums, hip food and beverage outlets and educational centres springing up in its midst has made Upper Thomson a much sought-after area for property investment. Condominiums which have been or are being built at the moment include Thomson Grand, Adana Thomson, Thomson Impressions, Thomson Three, The Panorama and most recently – 183 Longhaus.
The latter is developed by TEE Land and is essentially a mixed-use concept which will fit in superbly with the nearby landed homes and indie businesses. Despite being a low-rise 4-storey project, it will feature 10 commercial units and 40 apartment units including 14 penthouse units ranging from 88 to 110 sq m. The amenities such as banking facilities and the Thomson Community Club, and transport options such as bus stops and the circle and Thomson-East Coast line MRT stations nearby are big pluses; not to mention the MacRithchie and Lower and Upper Pierce reservoirs are just round the corner.
Despite the temporary inconvenience residents of Upper Thomson might have to endure as major road and tunnelling works are underway, the future for this suburban district looks bright.
