Dark musings aside, we’ve seen the impact of new developments on its immediate neighbours. Price trends tend to rise in the surrounding existing developments (especially the older, ‘cheaper’ ones) and naturally, the Trilight should be no different.
The atmosphere of the area is lively and energetic thanks to the many shopping malls, restaurants and entertainment hubs. There are plenty of educational and employment opportunities, and commuters have access to the MRT and expressways, making it easy to get around. Fortunately for those who drive (or are willing to spend on car-hiring services), both the Botanic Gardens and MacRitchie Reservoir Park (including surrounding water catchment areas) offer themselves as unique and recreational-worthy areas to unwind and blend-in with nature.In fact, convenience of public transport access to the 3 major clusters (Toa Payoh, Little India and Orchard) from the Trilight outmatches even that of private transport. Of course, driving to the malls are always an option, but if you factor in potential jams, parking hassles (fees included) as well as fuel efficiency (short distance rides), most would naturally opt for the former. The drop off point is hugely spacious, with the skylights from the top providing some light during the day. Weirdly enough, the driveway and entrance of the Trilight are shared with another condo – 15 Newton. That said, I wouldn’t worry too much about additional traffic clogging up the road as there are only 10 units there!
In crux , avoid buying into larger-than-average new launch units in a competitive and upper middle price range cluster if appreciation is the main target. Given how it is such a popular area, developers will constantly return based on the demand. With constant redevelopment, the district quantum average will naturally be propped up over a period.
Instead, look at developments with specific plus points that standout from their neighbouring competitors – like Park Infinia at Wee Nam for example. An interesting historical tidbit about the Trilight’s unit mix is that developers Ho Bee had initially arranged for a total of 152 units to be architected – consisting only 3 and 4-bedders (and penthouses). It is clear that the diversity and quality of the preschools around the Trilight (all within walking distance of the condo) are well provided for.
For reference, it also takes about 15 minutes to get to One Raffles Place (CBD landmark) by car during peak hours. Perhaps one of the bigger reasons the Trilight currently commands the lowest PSF in this range of condos is the fact that its larger unit layouts naturally make each unit more ‘expensive’ and hence the ‘lowered PSF’ to ensure higher resale success. Regarding the Trilight, it is definitely a worthy consideration for homelookers looking to buy into the Newton/Novena area. The increased convenience stemming from easy access to these two districts as well as solid ( central) public/private transport offerings and large unit spaces goes a long way in easing and enriching the lives of residents here. With an entire range of beauty, health and fitness-related clinics scattered across these entities, residents can maximise choice-value without compromising traveling time. Your professionalism, can do attitude and knowledge is second to none. And the care you put into everything you do is unbelievable. Best AV experience I’ve had with a team for a long while.
What’s more, the freehold status and general district demand also ensures an unlikely severe dip in prices in the short to mid term. Start your property search above, or refine your search using these most popular searches on property for rent. The ‘6-min’ path to the MRT is covered for the most part save for that little stretch along Newton Flyover – so be sure to bring an umbrella in the event of wet weather (…or not, depending). Want something modern and timeless:With its sleek minimalist design, the Trilight will still hold its own even as newer developments take center stage in the Newton area.
Great Deal
