If you actually go down to the actual site, you can actually sense the difference in class between both sides. The side where newton edge is is priced at between 1500-1600psf whereas just across the canal is priced at 1800-1900psf. If you walk just a short way (just 5 minutes walk away) to newton road where trilight, L'Viv and Newton One are, you will find the prices there $2000psf and above for the new projects. I spoke to a Wing Tai Manager today and he told me L'Viv is priced historically high in that area compared to the other side (with Miro, Newton Edge etc) because of the address. All the condos that i have mentioned are just 5 minutes from one another. If you are talking about those condos within that same location, I think it is obvious which is the best buy. i have yet to do an analysis of the older projects in that cluster where Lincoln Rd is but I would think any one of them would be a better buy than the new ones sprouting up in the neighbourhood.
