What is Pullman Residences?

Developed by EL Development (Horizon) Pte Ltd with architecture by ADDP Architects, the project comprises 340 units ranging from one-bedroom apartments to four-bedroom layouts, with sizes spanning roughly 463 to 1,378 square feet.
The development reached completion in 2025.

As of October 2026, Hombble lists 36 units for sale, all condominiums, at an average asking price of S$2,072,849 and an average size of 648 square feet.
How far is Pullman Residences from the MRT?
Pullman Residences is roughly 150 metres from Newton MRT station, which is about a two-minute walk. Newton station (NS21/DT11) is an interchange serving both the North-South Line and the Downtown Line, giving residents direct rail access to Orchard Road, Marina Bay and the Central Business District without transferring.
Novena MRT station on the North-South Line is also within walking distance, adding a second option for northbound journeys and access to the Novena medical precinct. By road, the development sits between Dunearn Road and Bukit Timah Road, with the Central Expressway (CTE) accessible in minutes. For drivers, Orchard Road is roughly five minutes away.
Schools near Pullman Residences
Several well-known schools sit within one kilometre of 18 Dunearn Road, which matters for Primary 1 registration priority. Anglo-Chinese School (Primary) and St Joseph's Institution Junior are both in the immediate Newton and Novena vicinity, as is Singapore Chinese Girls' School.
For tertiary education, Lee Kong Chian School of Medicine at the Novena campus of Nanyang Technological University is less than ten minutes away. The broader District 11 area has long been one of Singapore's most sought-after school belts, and proximity to these institutions is a consistent factor in resale demand here.
What are prices like at Pullman Residences?
The average asking price across 36 current listings on Hombble is S$2,072,849, which works out to about S$3,175 per square foot. Individual listings range from around S$1,350,000 for smaller one-bedroom units to upwards of S$4,500,000 for larger three- and four-bedroom configurations.
Freehold tenure supports Pullman Residences' pricing relative to leasehold neighbours. District 11 has historically held its value well, and the Newton corridor in particular benefits from a limited supply of new freehold stock. Buyers comparing across the area should note that the per-square-foot range here, from roughly S$2,850 to S$3,500, reflects both unit size and floor level.
Living in Newton and Novena
Day-to-day conveniences are well covered. United Square Shopping Mall, Velocity at Novena Square and Goldhill Shopping Centre are all nearby, with supermarkets including Cold Storage and FairPrice within easy reach. Newton Food Centre, one of Singapore's most famous hawker centres, is a short walk from the development.
The Novena precinct is home to Tan Tock Seng Hospital and the expanding Health City Novena, a 17-hectare medical hub that the government plans to grow to roughly 600,000 square metres of healthcare space by 2030. For residents who work in healthcare or value proximity to major medical facilities, this is a practical advantage that few other central districts offer.
Outlook for the Newton corridor
The URA Draft Master Plan 2025 outlines significant changes for the Newton area, including the creation of a mixed-use urban village with around 5,000 new private homes rolled out in phases across three clusters: Newton Circus, Scotts Road and Monk's Hill. A new village square is planned near Newton MRT station and Newton Food Centre, and Monk's Hill Road is earmarked for conversion into a linear park connecting Newton MRT to Emerald Hill.
For existing owners at Pullman Residences, these plans point to a neighbourhood that will become denser but also better served by public spaces, pedestrian routes and retail. The freehold status of Pullman Residences means owners are not racing against a lease while the area transforms. Whether buying to live in or holding as an investment, the Newton corridor's combination of connectivity, school access and planned government spending makes it one of the more resilient pockets of the Core Central Region.
