Thomson Modern

Thomson Modern is shaping up to be one of the most exciting new launches in the north. Sitting right next to Springleaf MRT, this 99-year leasehold project will bring about 940 units to District 26, an area traditionally known for its landed homes and greenery.

The project is developed by GuocoLand and Hong Leong Holdings, both familiar names in the property scene. The Upper Thomson Road Parcel B site was awarded in April 2024 through the GLS programme, at a land rate of $905 psf ppr.

This land price is quite reasonable, especially considering the site’s proximity to the MRT and natural parks.

An early point to note: given the scale (almost a thousand units), buyers can likely expect a full suite of condo facilities like big pools, clubhouses, tennis courts, and lots of green spaces. In an era where some new projects are shaving down on facilities to fit more units, this is a plus.

Another interesting angle is the project’s location itself. Springleaf isn’t typically the first area that comes to mind when you think of major residential hubs. It’s more of a quiet, nature-fringed pocket.

But with the Thomson-East Coast Line now operational through this stretch, places like Orchard and Shenton Way are suddenly a lot closer than before—opening up a different kind of buyer profile. It’s no longer just for retirees or nature lovers. Young families, professionals, even investors who like the ‘city but not in the city’ vibe could be drawn here.

Layout-wise, there’s no official breakdown yet. But given the size of the site and the current market trends, it wouldn’t be surprising if there’s a healthy mix of 2- to 4-bedroom units. Springleaf’s broader demographic leans family-oriented, so expect a fair share of three- and four-bedders.

That said, with prices inevitably ticking up islandwide, a strategic number of 2-bedders could also come into play—offering a more palatable entry point for younger buyers or small families.

GuocoLand has built a reputation around premium, lifestyle-driven projects, and Thomson Modern will likely follow that same positioning: think efficient layouts, quality fittings, and a strong emphasis on creating a modern, serene living environment.

For those who love greenery, Springleaf Nature Park and Upper Seletar Reservoir are practically your backyard. It’s the kind of place where you can do your morning jogs with mist rising off the trees, and still be downtown before your 9am meeting.

In short: Thomson Modern hits a sweet spot. Not so central that you’re paying top-dollar PSF, but not so remote that daily life becomes a chore. Close to nature, but not cut off from city convenience. For families, couples, and even savvy investors looking at where the MRT network is quietly reshaping demand—this could be one worth watching.
