Neither of those.
It is a narrow plot of land sandwiched between the HDB flats and Thomson View. As the forum member has said, if you are standing in Thomson Plaza looking directly at Thomson View, the plot is behind Thomson View. You cannot see it from the main roads. If you go to the actual site and look at it, you will not be impressed because it is directly facing the MSCP of the HDB flats. Which is why they decided to build the show flat in the nice area with trees opp Flametree Park condo.
Another round of Thomson Three preview from this Friday to Sunday (13 to 15 Sept 2013)
Location of Thomson Three Sales Gallery is @ Venus Drive towards SICC.

Developers trim prices as new reality bites
"Without TDSR, we could easily have priced this project at $1,500 psf on average, or even higher. We now expect to price it at a more realistic level, at $1,350-1,400 psf," said Liam Wee Sin, president (property) at UOL.

There is lah. This is the MAIN columbarium for goodness sake. and the key route is from those Sin Ming parlours to the Brighthill columbarium. This is not wild assertion. As for jams during Qing Ming, this is also true. Of course you can try to avoid the jams by taking detours and alternative routes like what another contributor says but is that efficient? Or when you are already stuck behind, how are you going to detour?
If you want to only hear the good stuff like there is no funeral parlours nearby and this is not along Guangmingshan despite the address, so be it. But please do not put down people who highlight the potential downsides to you.
Frankly if one's only dream is to get your kids into Ai Tong (that's sad because that school is at best second rate), then I think the HDB flats opposite better choice and more spacious. At least they are the ones blowing their car fumes into this condo through their car parks. And staying in a condo with HDB flats nearby has both upsides and downsides. Upside is you can behave more atas than your neighbours. Downside is that there are higher chance of trespassers and strange people coming in to use your facilities.
I am perfectly happy to hear the downsides, but I want to hear downsides backed up by empirical evidence. My own observations, including the past month when I ate at Upper Thomson on a number of occasions, are that I have never seen any processions along Upper Thomson Road (unless you are referring to other roads). Of course it could be at times other than when I was there, and so it would be helpful if you could point out the times that these processions usually take place. I am certainly not the blinded sort, and I do agree that traffic along Upper Thomson may be slow at times; I just am not sure it's for the reason stated by you though I am happy to be corrected.
I drove throught the HDB flats past the site yesterday. The plot seems to be on elevated land relative to the MSCP. And the higher floors should be above the top of the HDB flats. But please go to the site yourself and check all fhe facings carefully if you are thinking of buying. The unknown factor is the Thomson View condo and whether it will go en bloc sometime and what they will build there.
I think the funeral processions are on Sin Ming ROAD where the parlours are located, rather than on Sin Ming Avenue or Upper Thomson.
for those with unblocked view of the central catchment area. There's hardly any places left in Singapore that has such huge undeveloped land and yet still rather central.
for homes facing the central catchment area you probably don't need to even turn on the air con.
Thanks. Not buying for the view. Thomson View is unlikely to go en bloc for a couple of years, but may go en bloc when the property market's rise accelerates again. Since both plots of land have the same plot ratio, Thomson View will be able to build up to the same height as Thomson Three, so you are not guaranteed a view even if you buy the highest floor in Thomson Three. I don't think it's wise to buy Thomson Three for the views, since Thomson View will en bloc eventually and there's no way of knowing how the developer will place their towers.
The HDB blocks are 11 floors each, so you need to buy at least the 11th floor in Thomson Three to be able to clear the HDB blocks (as you mentioned, Thomson Three is on slightly elevated ground). However, most of the Thomson Three units face the central catchment area, and there's not much to see in the Sin Ming direction anyway, so again, that's not a view I would suggest anyone buying.
My assessment is that Thomson Three is about location (not that it's central but whether you like Upper Thomson and the amenities it has), and potential growth with the Thomson Line coming up and possible redevelopment of SICC land. However, both are long-term developments, so it will be a while before any of that upside is realised. I am looking at the place for own stay, so I am less concerned about that potential for capital gain. I am more concerned about traffic and floor plans and the development itself, though of course I don't want to overpay either.
just dropped in the showroom, the 3 premium looks decent. 2 bedder reminds me of the one i saw at sennett resi. showroom was packed.
The 3 bedrm premium layout in Thomson Three is much more spacious than Sky Vue 3 bedder despite same sqf of 1141...anyone can point out the differences y is it so? Are the floor area in showroom regulated by any authority?

Wahlao please la!
So many threads on the same condo liao! Can just stick to one thread or not?
Can moderators please do something?
Indeed, location wise: I think that it is a great place. Near a future mrt, good primary school and of course Thomson plaza + nice eateries. You will not disturb by the funnel procession, because it is on the other side of the brighten hill. So dun worry.
Traffic wise: it will be heavy. Mainly due to the road work and mrt construction. Now is bad, in the near future it will get worst.
Any update on the actual launch date? Is it really 20 sept? Really hope that price will be competitive.
Don't be deceived by the Thomson name la. see the address. It's called Brighthill Drive which will appear in your IC. Brighthill. Less than 500m from the largest crematorium and beside those Sin Ming HDB. Also less than 500m from funeral parlours. If that is not near then I dunno what is near. If u like the proximity to the death business it is fine, but do not live in denial.

Let's not deny the proximity to the Singapore funeral hub and the crematorium. If you don't mind, it's ok. But I think there's no point debating what is staring at your face. Of course there is good point like surrounded by HDB and 99 lh condos which means no freehold to steal your thunder during enbloc or resale. And for those kiasu parents with no affiliation, can try to get their children into Ai Tong and have "elite" education that they have never been able to get. And I think the mrt takes too long and probably 2022 because it's always delayed. And who wants to waste 9 years waiting and living with construction mess. Life is too short. Go get a car.
As they say - "In this world there is nothing that is certain except death and taxes".
And one man's meat is another man's poison!

Tmr 1 pm will be the launch of Thomson Three. According to my agent, the response is very good (collected many cheques)
Is it true? Will it sell like hotcake or just a sales tactics?
it will all boil down eventually to price, they have first mover advantage, since there could be quite a bit of overlap in target mkt between this one, Panorama (amk) and sky Vue (Bishan)
