Short answer: Pullman Residences Newton is a 340-unit freehold condo in a single 30-storey tower at 18 Dunearn Road, District 11. It was developed by EL Development, the property arm of builder Evan Lim & Co, on the former Dunearn Gardens site, and carries Accor's Pullman brand. Newton MRT is about 160 m away. EdgeProp reported in October 2025 that the building was completed in January 2025.

EdgeProp reported that EL Development bought Dunearn Gardens in a collective sale for S$468 million in April 2018. EdgeProp described the project as the first Pullman Residences in Singapore, with Accor's Pullman brand applied to the homes. At launch, buyers were offered three years of platinum status in Accor's LeClub loyalty programme, and the building has concierge, doorman and club lounge services.

What does Pullman Residences Newton rent for?

Stacked Homes counts 111 leases between September 2025 and August 2026, at a median of S$4,600 a month, and estimates the gross yield at about 2.4%. EdgeProp puts the yield at 3.4%. The two estimates differ, and both are the sources' own figures, not ours.

How far is Pullman Residences Newton from the MRT?

Newton station, an interchange for the Downtown Line (DT11) and North-South Line (NS21), is about 160 m from the building to the Downtown Line station and about 280 m to the North-South Line station in a straight line (OneMap). EdgeProp put it at about 150 m in 2019, and Stacked Homes lists a one-minute walk. Novena station (NS20) is about 830 m away in a straight line.

Newton Food Centre is about 310 m away and United Square about 580 m (OneMap, straight line). Stacked Homes lists Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) at about 560 m and Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) at about 630 m. The earlier version of this page said Newton MRT was an eight- to ten-minute walk; that was wrong.

Who might Pullman Residences Newton suit?

This is a summary of trade-offs, not a recommendation. What is distinctive: a freehold title, an MRT interchange at the doorstep, and hotel-style services under the Pullman brand. The trade-offs: about two in three homes are compact one- and two-bedroom units of 463 to 667 sq ft, and the project was completed only recently (January 2025, per EdgeProp), so its resale record is short. Rental estimates from the two main sources differ, so landlords should check recent leases themselves.

Correction

1 October 2026: An earlier version of this page gave the wrong address (8 Irwell Bank Road), said the developer was part of Chip Eng Seng, and described a 238-unit, 99-year leasehold project (lease from 2016) completed in 2020, with units of 506 to 1,733 sq ft and Newton MRT eight to ten minutes' walk away. Pullman Residences Newton is a 340-unit freehold development at 18 Dunearn Road by EL Development, completed in January 2025 according to EdgeProp, with units from 463 sq ft and Newton MRT about 160 m away. Unsupported claims about a branding price premium, residents' views, management quality and rental demand were removed, as was an offer of a paid "full report".
