Just 1 MRT stop north of Thomson Reserve (or a 700m stroll) lies Bright Hill MRT (TE7). By 2030, Bright Hill will open as a major interchange connecting the TEL to Phase 1 of the Cross Island Line (CRL).
The Cross Island Line will provide direct high-speed transit to the Jurong Lake District in the west, and Ang Mo Kio, Pasir Ris, and Changi Aviation Park in the east. This dual-line connectivity underpins strong long-term capital appreciation for Thomson Reserve property owners.
