Area guide · Thomson–Lentor

The Thomson–East Coast Line runs from Woodlands through Lentor, Bright Hill and Upper Thomson to the city. Along it sit Thomson Reserve, about 90% sold at launch, a completed JadeScape, the Lentor estate and Chencharu Central, the first launch of 2027. This is everything I have written on the corridor, with each project's STAR score.
