About The Residences @ Upper Thomson

Springleaf is one of the quietest corners of District 26, and The Residences @ Upper Thomson is the new home rising at its centre, on Upper Thomson Road right beside Springleaf MRT. For decades this has been an estate of terrace houses and tall trees, a landed enclave sitting between the Seletar reservoirs, where the evenings are still quiet enough to hear the birds coming home to roost. It is one of the first two apartment developments the estate has ever had, so you get to live high above the street while the street itself keeps the easy pace of a landed neighbourhood.

The land here has turned over a new leaf before. This was once part of Chan Chu Kang, later known as Nee Soon Village, a settlement that grew up around the gambier and pepper trade along the banks of Sungei Seletar. When the plantations were left to rest, the forest came back on its own, and Chinese Banyan and Kelumpang trees now stand where the farms once were. Springleaf Nature Park sits on that same village land, at the fork of the river, a short walk from home. It is a neighbourhood that has always known how to begin again, and it carries its history lightly.

Everyday life starts close by. Springleaf Prata Place is a few minutes on foot, and for many people north of Thomson the word Springleaf simply means prata, crisp and golden, with a curry the regulars will tell you is right on point. The shophouse row directly across Upper Thomson Road adds coffee, Korean barbecue, yong tau foo and a 7-Eleven for the late-night milk run. Upper Seletar Reservoir Park and Thomson Nature Park are both nearby, ready for the long weekend walk, and it is the kind of street where the small pleasures come to you.

What makes this address different sits at the base of the building. The development is planned to take in the existing entrance of Springleaf MRT, with a childcare centre and a floor of shops and dining on the ground level. From there the Thomson-East Coast Line runs to Woodlands in about 8 minutes, Orchard in about 25 and Shenton Way in about 35, with no change of train. Young families, first-time buyers and long-time Springleaf residents ready to right-size will each find their own reason to be here, and all of them get to share the same green morning and the same easy ride into town.

Main Selling Points

No. 1

The City Within Reach

The Residences @ Upper Thomson sits right beside Springleaf MRT, and the plans for the site call for the development to integrate the station's existing entrance. That is something no other home in the estate can say. Springleaf is station TE4 on the Thomson-East Coast Line, which runs straight through the middle of the island. Woodlands is about 8 minutes away, Orchard about 25 and Shenton Way about 35, all without changing trains, and Lentor, with its mall and supermarket, is a single stop down the line. For anyone who has spent years planning the week around a feeder bus and a crowded interchange, the commute shrinks to a short walk and one train, and the time you win back each morning is yours to keep.

No. 2

Childcare And Shops Downstairs

This is the only site in the Springleaf precinct planned as a mixed-use development, and that changes the shape of an ordinary weekday. The ground floor is set aside for a childcare centre of at least 1,000 square metres, alongside around 1,500 square metres of space for shops, restaurants and a supermarket. The names behind the shopfronts are still ahead, but the plan for them is written into the land tender itself. Picture the morning drop-off as a single trip. Your little one goes in downstairs, you pick up a coffee on the way past, and the train platform is only a short walk further on. In the evening the same route runs in reverse with dinner in a bag, and the whole day fits into one building and one train line.

No. 3

Life Under The Leaves

Springleaf has always been a landed estate, a pocket of terrace houses and mature trees ringed by forest, and that is the setting this home rises from. Springleaf Nature Park is a short walk away, six hectares beside the fork of Sungei Seletar, open around the clock, with a birdwatching platform built out over the water. NParks counts more than 80 species of resident and migratory birds here, and early risers soon learn to spot a White-throated Kingfisher or a Blue-tailed Bee-eater skimming the river. The park also links into the Springleaf Park Connector, so a morning walk can turn into a longer ride whenever the mood takes you. You get the ease of apartment living with the calm of a leafy landed street, and every morning starts under the trees.

This Condo is Great For...

  Families
When your children are small, the days are measured in drop-offs, nap times and the search for somewhere green to run. Here the childcare centre is planned for the ground floor of your own building, so the morning routine becomes a lift ride rather than a detour across the island, and the extra half hour goes back into breakfast together.

Weekends take care of themselves. Springleaf Nature Park is a short walk away, with a platform over the water where small hands can point out the kingfishers, and Upper Seletar Reservoir Park and Thomson Nature Park are nearby for longer outings with a picnic. The prata place a few minutes on foot has a way of becoming the family's Sunday breakfast.

And as the children grow, the train line grows with them, with Woodlands, Orchard and the city all on the same direct line from the station beside your home. If the homes next door went before your family was ready, this is your second chance at a place in Springleaf, somewhere a young family can put down roots and grow.
  Working Professionals
For a first home on the train line, this is about as direct as it gets. Springleaf MRT is right beside the development, and the Thomson-East Coast Line carries you to Orchard in about 25 minutes and to Shenton Way in about 35, with no change of train and no interchange in between. If work takes you north instead, Woodlands is about 8 minutes away.

The return trip is where it pays off. You step off the train into a quiet, leafy estate, with shops and dining planned downstairs and the prata place a few minutes on foot for the nights when cooking is not happening. Drivers have easy access to the Seletar Expressway, and Changi Airport is about 20 minutes away by car for the early flights. You leave the city at the platform, and the leaves are the first thing you see when you come home.
  INVESTORS
For investors, the facts worth knowing are about supply and location. Springleaf has been a landed enclave for decades, and this is one of the first two apartment developments in it, inside a 33-hectare precinct the urban planners have mapped out between the Seletar Expressway, Mandai Road and Upper Thomson Road. Of the two, it is the one planned as a mixed-use development, with childcare and shops at its base and the station entrance built in. Along the same train line, the Johor Bahru-Singapore RTS Link station at Woodlands North is three stops up, and Bright Hill, three stops down, is planned as an interchange with the Cross Island Line. It is a new leaf in an estate that has kept its shape for a very long time.

What Is It Like Living Here?

*Images used are for illustration purposes only

Coming home to Springleaf feels like stepping out of the city and into the trees. The train pulls into Springleaf MRT, you walk out beside your own building, and within a few steps the hum of Upper Thomson Road gives way to birdsong from the forest around the estate. The pace here belongs to the neighbourhood, slow, green and friendly, and it settles over you by the time you reach the lift.

The neighbourhood keeps its best things close. Springleaf Prata Place is a few minutes on foot, the shophouse row across the road handles coffee and a quick dinner, and the childcare centre and shops downstairs take care of the rest of the daily list. For a bigger shop, Lentor is one stop away by train. Sembawang Hills Food Centre is about 8 minutes by car, Causeway Point about 14, Thomson Plaza about 15 along Upper Thomson Road and Northpoint City about 16, so every kind of weekend errand is a short drive from home.

Getting around is straightforward. The Thomson-East Coast Line runs right through the station beside you, to Woodlands in about 8 minutes, Orchard in about 25 and Shenton Way in about 35, all on one line. Drivers have easy access to the Seletar Expressway, and Changi Airport is about 20 minutes away by car, which makes the long-weekend getaway feel a lot closer.

More is growing along the corridor around you. Woodlands Regional Centre, two stops up the line, is filling out as the north's main hub for jobs and shopping, and Bishan, further south, is planned as a sub-regional centre under the Master Plan 2025. The green around you, meanwhile, is planned to stay that way. Springleaf Nature Park is part of the Central Nature Park Network, a new Nee Soon Nature Park is proposed within Springleaf Forest, and the site itself comes with bird-safe design requirements written into its plans. Upper Seletar Reservoir Park and Thomson Nature Park are nearby, and the waters of Lower Seletar Reservoir lie further east for the longer ride, so the forest stays part of your daily routine for years to come.

Put together, it is a home that lets you turn over a new leaf without giving up anything you love about the north. You wake up under the trees, walk to breakfast, drop the little one off downstairs and catch the train beside home, and the city stays within reach all the while.
