SSD is clear for every JadeScape launch buyer. The real question is what Thomson View's launch pricing, 200m away, does to your buyer pool through 2028.
JadeScape has two live MRT lines today, but the 2030 CRL interchange lands one stop away at Bright Hill, not at its own doorstep. Here's what that actually means.
JadeScape's estate-wide 3.2% yield hides a real spread. School-catchment 3-bedders command an 8-12% premium; the rest sit closer to the RCR average.
JadeScape resale looks 20-28% cheaper than Thomson Reserve and Parcel A on headline psf. Adjusted for liveable space, the real gap tells a different story.
JadeScape (2018, pre-harmonisation) charges you for AC ledges and bay windows inside its quoted strata area, roughly 4-5% of the unit. Here's what that actually costs.
JadeScape's 12-month resale average is $2,293 psf, up 67% from 2018 launch. Is that still the floor, or has the run already priced in the next five years?

Only four projects in this belt carry confirmed freehold tenure — Thomson 800, Flame Tree Park, Thomson Impressions and Meadows at Pierce — commanding a 20–30% premium over comparable leasehold. The $810M Thomson View en bloc (March 2025) formally validated the corridor's land value.
