The company has since started to create a recognizable branding to focus on the property segment. Hence, EL Development Pte Ltd was officially incepted as a separate company in June 2007.

Pullman Residences
 

What is interesting about this Pullman Residences project, is that it will be a branded residence under the Pullman brand by Accor. There are only 3 other branded residences such as St Regis.

So while Pullman Residences Newton will be developed by EL Development themselves, it is Accor who will pick the managing agents. And included in the maintenance fees (which perhaps because of that is quite high), will be concierge and doorman services. As well as complimentary membership of the Accor LeCare club for a few years. Indicative pricing starts from around $1.33M up for a one bedder.
