The supply is limited and hardly on the market as ownership is tightly held. The Thomson enclave still has tremendous growth potential with JadeScape residences attaining TOP in 2023, which will inject more than 1,200 homes in the area. The move of Raffles Girls School to Marymount and the establishment of Eunoia Junior College at Bishan have further contributed to the high footfall in the area.”
