    Check internet? You might as well rely on the developer's location map . You try swimming across the big lokang and then fly over the Newton Circus in order to travel in a straight line to Newton MRT station (which then will yield you a shorter distance)?

As per google (measured in strait line), it is about 250m away from Newton MRT but 720m away from Novena MRT, so walking to Novena nearby malls is still possible but a bit far in Singaporean standard.
    I've seen unit plan sent by agent, many 2-bedder units, however 3-bedder units are super big, at least 2099sf, with huge balcony, bay windows, 3 toilets and so on, i wonder quantum will be high.
    I lived very close to Trilight before. You can walk to UnitedSquare or Novena for a bit of a stroll & exercise but if you have a few shopping bags, you need to drive. Also small children cannot walk along the footpath as some parts are quite narrow.

    Trying to get a park in USQ or NSQ is a pain in the neck.

    Walking to Newton MRT is also a pain from Trilight. Sometime see many people crossing illegally along Newton Circus which is pretty dangerous.

    Still always keen to see what HoBee has come up with. Don't think it will be cheap.

    Can you PM agent who can send plan?

    It's really up to you. If you like area both are ok. For own stay I prefer Balmoral since also the same price & even more secluded, private and no noise, no dust from Newton and Bukit Timah.. can even hear birds. Trilight and former Gilstead View will be building soon. So own stay near these development must think twice.

    Saw a penthouse in Amaryville. Views are sxxx even from high floor. Would not touch anything directly opposite Trilight e.g., Miro, Rochelle.

    PI side surprisingly very nice and quiet at night But once Lucida, Viva, Lincoln Suites are done the whole area can be quite nice. Expect more amenties in Novena to cater for these residence nearby.

    For investment, must be 100% new...i.e., untouched. TOP already too late.

    Did you miss the launches around there Andy? Where abouts do you put up now? There are still lots of new and untouched investment vehicles in the area which you can get straight from the developer.

    I always look forward to what Ho Bee comes up with, have quite a bit of faith in their projects. I think Tri will be very expensive - 1800 seems more than likely, and I think the smallest units will be higher than that...

    The entire stretch from Newton up to Novena/balestier seems to be undergoing modernisation at an impossibly fast pace - the sheer number of new developments in the area is staggering.
    Have you met my more successful sibling 'Super Potato'?

    Well it is next to R@E so about the same distance to Newton MRT as R@E. Further to Novena MRT

    Adverts are out today. Do you have any floor & site plans?

    Where are the new launches in that area?

    Yes. I expect more development from around Novena/Balestier than the Scotts/Newton area. In the past, I have under estimated the value of cluster development and the aggregrate impact it can have on the value of the residential development

    Grow up. That's right, buyers "panic" because Spore property depreciates after TOP. Only the land appreciates. it's location, location, location

    Don't need to put words I didn't say into my mouth lah. Forumers have eyes to see who saying what. I only say Novena area condos better buy vs Newton area condos because Newton MRT surrounding area is a dead-town with no shopping & eateries. May be that is why Newton condo launching like Trilight have to show location map as though so close to Novena MRT and the 3 Novena shopping malls?
    Obviously Novena even if better than Newton cannot be compared to those around Orchard MRT. That is a fact. Better than those twisters

    That's why Newton is more expensive than Novena ... it is nearer to the the Ang Mos who can afford to pay >$100 for prawns.

    Hence in the same token they can also afford to pay more for condo rentals.

    The Ang Mos' "ancestral homeland" is in Orchard Road. That's why there is a downward price gradient along Scotts Road from ION Orchard towards Novena.

    To people who can afford to stay in Scotts Highpark, I don't think MRT is an important consideration.

    I remember one of them came in by private jet with his private banker to purchase a unit, and then flew off again.

    Not true lah, the Ang Mos kick up such a big fuss and complain to STB etc and go on Newspapers big big. You thought Ang Mos so stupid mah? Eat at Hawker Centre with no air-con and pay a price more expensive than air-con up-market restaurant? Scotts Highpark? Most of the richest now beside Ion in Orchard Residences or Marq@Paterson at >$5k psf.
    Based on your analogy that closer to Orchard & City Centre should be more expensive, Geylang should be selling at >$1400 psf (must be much more than places like Hundred Trees, Meadows@Pierce, Optima etc).

    Believe eventually, developments in the Novena vicinity will be more expensive than those in the Newton area for the simple reason that there are more amenities(= greater convenience) coming up there than Newton.

    Don't know if anyone ever tried to get from R@E or Trilight to Newton Hawker Centre. First you have to cross the one-way Dunearn Road going to Little India. You go across the big "longkang" and then cross the other part of Bukit Timah road. Then you walk across the green muddy fields to the Newton MRT. After that you take the escalator down to go across the otherside of the Scotts Road. Once you reach the top of Scotts road, you walk some meters down to Clemenceau Ave to an overhead bridge. Finally after 10 or 15 minutes you work up such a good appetite to reach the Newton Hawker Centre.

    Of course you can risk life and limb to negotiate the Newton Circus illegally. Never seen an AngMoh do that though.

    Usually easier to walk to Novena to have free airconditioning...also not much further the other way

    Finally got the floorplans for Trilight. There seems to be a few good stacks that does not have direct noon sun. The layout is pretty good but I noticed the huge balcony and planters areas and baywindows.

    Those with a view facing Newton Road and high floors should have nice city views. There is a column in the balcony again.

    Other concern is whether the Istana is in the way of the city views

    '

    Waiting for more details but my guess it should have more than 205lots for the 205 units, probably 20% to 30% more.

    Why are lots important?
