The Trilight condo sits atop a rather sizable 111,240 square feet plot of land – considering its situation at the highest elevation point in the Newton area amidst a cluster of high-end private residential developments. Also based off this little ‘case study’, I’ve compiled a brief pointer that might help potential homeowners/investors in the future. However with rental yields currently averaging 2.68% and an unlikely hike in unit quantum in the short to mid term, investors are better off looking at other developments in the surrounding area. The barbecue pit is nestled in a more private spot, which is the good part. So you can make more noise and see fewer people.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! Zooming in a little closer to home, residents of the Trilight are also guaranteed a rather sizable balcony across the unit tiers. Though this could be a boon or bane, most side with the former given the larger unit spaces and potentially incredible views from these balconies with the right units.

Situated in a vibrant neighbourhood, the area is well connected to the rest of the city via public transport and major roads, making it an ideal place to live. With plenty of amenities, activities and places to visit, there's something for everyone in the area. Naturally, this comes at the expense of an increased variety of facilities – though the effort that developers Ho Bee Land Limited have invested into sprucing up both the gym as well as clubhouse (full glass windows and furnishings) goes unnoticed. Given the condo’s relative proximity to the MRT and its surrounding cluster of residential developments, our price review comparisons for today will mainly involve those within immediate proximity of the Trilight as well as a special guest you might have read up on in one of our earlier pieces.

Its duo ‘major road entrance’ (after the initial exit) meant easy access to various districts and allowed alternate driving paths in the event of bad traffic situations. What’s more, the freehold status and general district demand also ensures an unlikely severe dip in prices in the short to mid term. It certainly is a welcoming sight at the entrance of the Trilight, with the landscaping and cascading waterfall. The entire plot is actually on elevated grounds, hence the sloping driveway to get to the entrance. Because it’s a long driveway, the angle isn’t too steep so if you walk a lot it’s really not too bad at all. Interestingly enough, the Trilight is the only development along this stretch that sits on raised grounds. Sheltered walkway Upon entrance however, visitors of its ‘inner courtyard-like’ facilities will immediately feel a sense of sequestered protection from the towering 30-storeyed columns to either side.

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. It’s a really good size, with a sufficient number of equipment and weights. On the other hand, I wouldn’t say that the view is exactly workout inspiring, seeing as it faces the BBQ pits. It allows for a quiet spot that is covered with more lush plants and greenery – perfect for you to hide away and relax. was 8 years ago. Yet there is something about the Trilight condo that looks remarkably modern. Even in an era of sleek glass and dark-hued condos, I’d go as far as to say that the Trilight condo is right up there in terms of its exterior looks. Modern design 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.

Surprisingly, the Trilight seems to be at the bottom of the surrounding developments’ current average PSF. We recently crafted a piece on the upcoming Sloane Residences (along Balmoral Road) located relatively close by to the Trilight. Admittedly, a good portion of this land area is filled with ‘man-made’ greenery that adds to the exclusive, yet necessary ‘seclusion’ factor that you feel when you enter the condo. 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).

Having the playground and kids pool by the Clubhouse/First BBQ pit also means that busy parents will be able to enjoy at least a small bit of the party themselves! For parents considering more options, there are also a couple more Primary and Secondary schools along both the Bukit Timah Education Belt as well as Bishan/Toa Payoh districts just past the 10-minute drive radius. As you’d observe (and expect), an entire array of entertainment, food and recreational options are made available to residents at the Trilight. 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).In a densely populated condo area like Newton, I wouldn’t say that the Trilight condo stands out particularly. It’s only when you observe closer that the little details begin to pop out. Even if you can’t appreciate modern architecture, the main takeaway is its timeless design – which is important if you are looking to stay for the long haul.
