After months of legal twists and turns, the High Court finally gave the green light on July 1, 2025, for the Thomson View collective sale, a massive S$810 million deal that marks one of Singapore’s biggest en bloc transactions in recent years. This decision, a significant milestone, came after months of heated disputes and owner objections, putting the Bright Hill Road property in the spotlight. It’s a deal that’s only second to Chuan Park‘s S$890 million sale in 2023, showing just how hot the en bloc market remains, even with all the drama.
Thomson View’s S$810 million collective sale, approved on July 1, 2025, ranks among Singapore’s largest en bloc deals, despite intense legal battles.
The road to approval wasn’t smooth, not by a long shot. Back in March 2025, a stop order halted the sale due to unresolved objections from some owners, and the legal battle escalated to the High Court after the Strata Titles Board stepped in. There were issues with signatures—some collected outside the required 12-month window per the Collective Sale Agreement dated January 4, 2024—which raised eyebrows. Even the reserve price took a hit, dropping 12% from S$918 million to S$808 million, before settling at S$810 million to sweeten the deal for buyers. Thankfully, all six objectors eventually withdrew their complaints, clearing the path for the court’s nod. For the owners, this means a substantial payout, with proceeds ranging from S$2.2 million to S$4.9 million per unit depending on size.
The winning developers, UOL, Singapore Land, and CapitaLand Development, secured the 99-year leasehold site through a conditional call-and-put option in October 2024. Now, they’re gearing up for a major redevelopment, which could reshape the area’s skyline. The property features a substantial site area of 50,197 square meters with a plot ratio of 2.1, allowing for extensive redevelopment potential. With a site area of approximately 5 hectares, the planned development includes 1,240 residential units as part of the ambitious project. This sale isn’t just a win for them; it’s a signal that Singapore’s en bloc market is still buzzing with potential, drawing big players despite past hiccups—like a failed 2013 attempt at Thomson View marred by bad faith claims.
Financially, the deal stayed under intense scrutiny, with the Collective Sale Committee even awarded S$5,000 in legal costs and S$3,829.20 in disbursements. The High Court stressed transparency and sticking to timelines, a reminder of how seriously these processes are taken. For owners, it’s a payout at last; for the market, it’s a precedent. Who’s next in line for such a blockbuster sale? Only time will tell.
