[New Launch] Rare Prime City Luxury Development, The Robertson Opus Opens for Preview in July

Robertson Quay Welcomes First New Residential Launch in 17 Years

Rare 999-Year Leasehold Asset The Robertson Opus Opens for Preview on 5 July

Robertson Quay, situated in the prime District 9 of Singapore’s Core Central Region (CCR), is set to welcome a highly anticipated luxury residential development this year — The Robertson Opus. Jointly developed by reputable developers Frasers Property and Japan’s Sekisui House, this 999-year leasehold residential development along Unity Street will officially open for preview on 5 July, with bookings commencing on 19 July.

Reimagining an Urban Landmark into a Luxurious Living Oasis

The Robertson Opus sits on the former site of Fraser Place Robertson Walk, which was completed in 1998 as Frasers Property’s first serviced apartment development. Today, this familiar landmark is being revitalised into a luxury mixed-use development comprising 348 upscale residential units alongside curated F&B and retail spaces.

The development features five 10-storey residential blocks arranged around a central courtyard conceived as an "urban oasis". The courtyard will showcase a three-storey green wall, cascading water features, and 24-hour direct sheltered connectivity to the Singapore River promenade.

Co-designed by ADDP Architects and French architectural firm StudioMilou, the development exudes a contemporary, tranquil aesthetic deeply infused with green sustainability principles. The rooftop features a 240-metre "Sky Forest Walk" complete with a yoga lawn, scent garden, and sky observation deck.

Attractive Entry Pricing with Over 40% of Units Facing the River

Indicative starting prices for The Robertson Opus are as follows:

1-Bedroom (431–495 sq ft): from approx. **$1.37M** (approx. **$3,179–$3,192 psf**)

2-Bedroom (689–721 sq ft): from **$2.17M** (approx. $3,149 psf)

3-Bedroom: from **$3.10M** (approx. $3,348 psf)

4-Bedroom (1,539 sq ft): from **$5.09M** (approx. $3,307 psf)

Compared to the median price of $3,266 psf for new launches in the CCR in Q2, The Robertson Opus commands only around a 4% premium despite being a 999-year leasehold property, offering outstanding value for money. Given the extreme rarity of 999-year leasehold land in prime districts, it presents immense appeal for capital preservation and wealth legacy.

Approximately half of the units overlook the Singapore River and the conserved shophouses along Mohamed Sultan Road, while the remaining residences enjoy tranquil views of the lush internal courtyard.

Prime District 9 Address: Prime for Living and Long-Term Investment

The Robertson Opus enjoys an enviable location within easy walking distance of Fort Canning MRT station (Downtown Line). It is just a 5- to 7-minute drive to the Central Business District (CBD), Orchard Road, and Chinatown. The development also sits within the coveted 1km radius of River Valley Primary School, making it an exceptional choice for families and generational wealth transfer.

Alongside local high-net-worth individuals, prime core assets have increasingly drawn interest from Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents. According to SRI research, local buyers accounted for nearly 70% of CCR residential purchases in the first half of 2025, underscoring resilient domestic demand for prime residential properties.

Market Sentiment Rebounds, Poised to Spark Strong Buying Interest

The Robertson Opus marks the first 999-year leasehold launch in Robertson Quay in 17 years since The Wharf Residence in 2008. With keen market anticipation already building up, bolstered by tight supply in the CCR and recovering buyer confidence, the project is poised to ignite strong interest among discerning buyers.

For buyers seeking a prime city-centre residential asset with enduring, generational value, The Robertson Opus represents an extraordinarily rare opportunity.
