The Robertson Opus is a 348-unit mixed residential-retail development at 7–15 Unity Street, District 9 — a joint venture by Frasers Property and Sekisui House (Japan) on the site of the former Robertson Walk, launched in July 2025 at an average of S$3,360 psf. With a 999-year leasehold tenure from 1 July 1841 — effectively perpetual freehold in all but name — and a Singapore River address that places Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay and Fort Canning MRT within a short riverside stroll, The Robertson Opus is the first 999-year residential launch in this neighbourhood in nearly two decades. It sold 143 units (41%) on opening weekend, validating the price and the product. This page covers the developer-confirmed specifications, pricing, connectivity and our analysis of what makes this one of the most distinctive new launches in CCR D09.
Why The Robertson Opus matters for the 2026 D09 Singapore River market
Robertson Quay has been one of Singapore’s most sought-after residential-lifestyle addresses since the River Valley/Robertson Walk precinct came into its own in the early 2000s. The stretch from Merchant Road to Kim Seng Road offers quayside dining, riverside cycling paths, Fort Canning Park on the hill above, and a ten-minute drive to both the CBD and the Orchard Road shopping belt. Yet private residential supply in this corridor has been genuinely scarce for the past decade: the last major new-launch in the immediate catchment was Riviere (2019, Frasers Property), which fully sold out and has performed well on the secondary market.
The Robertson Opus occupies the redeveloped Robertson Walk site — a 9,102 sqm plot that previously housed a popular riverside food-and-beverage cluster. By retaining the ‘Robertson Walk’ branding for its 26 commercial units and integrating it into the base of five residential towers, Frasers Property has preserved the precinct identity while adding 348 premium homes above. The 999-year tenure is the development’s most compelling differentiator: a 999-year lease from 1 July 1841 means buyers inherit a tenure that effectively never decays within any economically relevant investment horizon — unlike the 99-year leasehold condominiums that dominate most GLS launches. In Singapore’s property investment discourse, 999-year land is treated equivalently to freehold for CPF withdrawal and bank loan purposes.

10 highlights of The Robertson Opus
- 999-year leasehold tenure from 1841 — effectively perpetual ownership with none of the lease-decay concerns that affect 99-year properties after Year 30+.
- Former Robertson Walk site — a beloved riverside precinct reinvented; the 26 Robertson Walk commercial units at the base preserve the neighbourhood dining and retail character.
- Five residential towers — five blocks rather than a single monolithic tower, enabling cross-ventilation, lower density per floor, and river-facing orientations across more units.
- 45m lap pool on-site (45m × 5.6m, 1.2m deep) — a generous length for a 348-unit development; plus a 4.5m × 9m Wellness Pool (0.85m deep).
- Haiku ceiling fans standard — Haiku by Big Ass Fans, pre-installed, an uncommon premium feature across a new-launch development of this scale.
- Three finish collections (Legacy, Premier, Luxury) — clear product differentiation enabling entry-level investor units and upgraded owner-occupier units within the same development.
- Sekisui House Japanese design DNA — Japan’s largest homebuilder brings its ‘Gohon no ki’ green landscaping philosophy and quality-control methodology from its Tokyo projects.
- Walking distance to Fort Canning MRT (Downtown Line) — approximately 7 minutes, giving direct access to the CBD, Bugis, Promenade and Expo without transfer.
- Robertson Quay F&B and Singapore River lifestyle — the curated riverside dining precinct (Quayside Isle, Kinki, The White Rabbit’s sister establishments) is a stroll from the lobby.
- Dual-key and DuoFlex layout options — 3-Bedroom DuoFlex (C6, C7) and 3-Bedroom + Flexi (C1-S–C5-S) units with flexible rooms that can be partitioned or opened to the living area.
Connectivity — Fort Canning MRT and Singapore River access
Unity Street places The Robertson Opus at the heart of the Singapore River precinct, flanked by Robertson Quay to the north and Kim Seng Road to the west. Fort Canning MRT (Downtown Line) is approximately a 7-minute walk via the riverside path; Clarke Quay MRT (North-East Line) is roughly 10 minutes. The Downtown Line connects directly to Bugis, Promenade, Bayfront (Marina Bay Sands) and the Buona Vista interchange in one direction, and to Rochor, Little India and Newton in the other — making UPPERHOUSE well positioned for CBD and Orchard workers alike.
| Destination | Distance / Time |
|---|---|
| Fort Canning MRT (Downtown Line) | ~7-minute walk |
| Clarke Quay MRT (North-East Line) | ~10-minute walk |
| Robertson Quay F&B strip | 3-minute walk |
| Central Business District (Raffles Place) | 8-minute drive |
| Orchard Road shopping belt | 8-minute drive |
| Marina Bay / Marina Bay Sands | 10-minute drive |
| River Valley Primary School | 5-minute drive |
| Anglo-Chinese School (Junior) | 8-minute drive |
| Great World City (shopping) | 5-minute drive |
Lifestyle — Singapore River, Fort Canning Park, Robertson Quay
The Robertson Quay precinct has evolved over two decades from a converted warehouse district into one of Singapore’s most liveable inner-city enclaves. The quayside strip offers diverse F&B options — from casual al fresco dining to refined establishments — within a 5-minute stroll of the development. Fort Canning Park, a 18-hectare hilltop park with heritage significance (Stamford Raffles’ residence, WWII Battlebox) and popular concert venues, rises behind the development. Clarke Quay’s entertainment cluster and the Riverside Point shopping centre are within easy walking distance along the Singapore River path. For residents who work in the CBD, the proximity — 8 minutes by car, 20 minutes by foot — makes this precinct one of the few in Singapore where walking to work is genuinely feasible.
Floor plans and facilities
The Robertson Opus offers a 45m lap pool (45m × 5.6m, 1.2m deep) and Wellness Pool (9m × 4.5m, 0.85m deep) as the primary aquatic amenities. The Opus Lounge (function room, 81 sqm) and Opus Gym (55 sqm) are the principal social and fitness spaces. Notably, there is no children’s playground — reflecting the development’s positioning towards young professionals and investors rather than young families. All units come with Haiku ceiling fans pre-installed. Letterboxes are located at Basement 2. Conventional (non-pneumatic) waste disposal system.
Developer — Frasers Property Limited & Sekisui House
Frasers Property Limited is a Singapore-listed multinational property developer with assets under management across Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom and Southeast Asia. Its Singapore new-launch track record includes Riviere (D09, 2019), Parc Greenwich (D28, 2021), Sky Eden at Bedok (D16, 2022) and the award-winning Rivercove Residences EC. Sekisui House is Japan’s largest homebuilder, with over one million homes constructed since 1960 and a growing international residential portfolio. The Robertson Opus is the two developers’ second Singapore collaboration, following THE ORIE (D12, Toa Payoh, with CDL). Sekisui House brings its ‘Gohon no ki’ (Five Trees) landscaping philosophy — a signature approach to integrating native species into residential developments — to the Robertson Walk site.
Sustainability — Sekisui House design philosophy and green integration
The Robertson Opus site includes a riverside promenade connection and landscaping designed to integrate with the Singapore River greenway. Sekisui House’s influence is felt in the vertical greenery, native species selection and the Wellness Pool’s design. The development targets good energy performance through its building form and facade design, though a specific BCA Green Mark target has not been publicly disclosed at the time of this article. Conventional waste disposal is used (letterboxes at B2). LED lighting provisions are standard in wardrobes, kitchen and vanity cabinets.

Frequently asked questions — The Robertson Opus
What is the difference between 999-year leasehold and freehold in Singapore?
For practical purposes, a 999-year lease is treated identically to freehold by Singapore banks and the CPF Board for financing and CPF withdrawal purposes. The key legal distinction is that 999-year land technically reverts to the State after 999 years — but given that Singapore’s land titles act would make this period far beyond any investor’s horizon, 999-year and freehold land trade at equivalent PSF prices and are accorded the same premium over 99-year leasehold properties. The Robertson Opus’s tenure from 1 July 1841 means it will remain a ‘999-year’ property well into the 28th century.
How many units were sold at The Robertson Opus launch?
Frasers Property and Sekisui House sold 143 of the 348 residential units (approximately 41%) over the opening weekend of 19–20 July 2025, at an average price of S$3,360 psf. This made The Robertson Opus one of the strongest D09 CCR launches of 2025, validating both the address premium and the 999-year tenure appeal.
What is the starting price for a unit at The Robertson Opus?
Entry-level Suite units (40 sqm / 431 sqft) start from approximately S$1.37 million (from S$3,179 psf). One-bedroom units (46 sqm / 495 sqft) start from approximately S$1.58 million. Two-bedroom units (64–67 sqm, 689–743 sqft) start from S$2.17 million. These are launch prices; balance unit pricing should be verified directly.
Is The Robertson Opus walking distance to an MRT station?
Fort Canning MRT (Downtown Line) is approximately 7 minutes on foot, following the riverside path from Unity Street to the station entrance at Fort Canning. Clarke Quay MRT (North-East Line) is approximately 10 minutes. Both stations provide central access to the CBD, Orchard Road and the rest of the MRT network. Residents can reach Raffles Place (CBD) in approximately 5 minutes on the Downtown Line.
Are there commercial units at The Robertson Opus?
Yes. The Robertson Opus includes 26 shop units at the basement and 1st level, retaining the Robertson Walk commercial identity. These commercial units are separately sold and managed, with dedicated commercial parking (34 + 1 accessible lots). The F&B and retail activation at the base of the development will maintain the precinct’s existing dining and lifestyle offer.
What are the main facilities at The Robertson Opus?
The key facilities are a 45m lap pool (45m × 5.6m, 1.2m depth), Wellness Pool (9m × 4.5m, 0.85m depth), Opus Lounge function room (81 sqm), and Opus Gym (55 sqm). Haiku ceiling fans are pre-installed in all units. There is no children’s playground, reflecting the development’s target market of young professionals, investors and couple households.
What are the finish collections available and how do they differ?
The Robertson Opus offers three collections. The Legacy Collection (Suites, 1BR, selected 2BRs) uses tile living floors with tile skirting, standard bathroom fittings (Johnson Suisse / Schmied for WCs in Legacy units), and conventional kitchen appliances. The Premier Collection (most 2BRs) steps up to engineered timber bedroom floors. The Luxury Collection (3BR Premium and 4BR Premium) adds marble to bathrooms, Haiku fans, and upgraded Boffi or equivalent kitchen and sanitary fitting specifications. All collections receive Daikin air-conditioning.
Is The Robertson Opus suitable for rental investment?
The Robertson Quay / Singapore River precinct is one of Singapore’s strongest rental sub-markets for expatriate professionals, particularly those in finance and law working in the CBD. Monthly rents for comparable 700-sqft River Valley condominiums typically range from S$4,500–S$6,500. At a purchase price of ~S$2.17M for a 689-sqft 2BR, the gross yield at S$5,500/month is approximately 3.0%–3.2%. The 999-year tenure supports capital values better than 99-year equivalents, making this a hold-for-capital-appreciation play as much as a rental play.
What is the expected vacant possession date?
The expected date of Notice of Vacant Possession is 30 June 2030, with legal completion on 30 June 2033. The progressive payment schedule follows the standard Singapore Housing Developers Rules schedule tied to construction milestones.
Who are the developers of The Robertson Opus?
Frasers Property Limited (Singapore-listed, Charoen Pokphand Group-linked) and Sekisui House Limited (Japan-listed, Japan’s largest homebuilder). The JV entity is Riverside Property Pte. Ltd. Together, they previously co-developed THE ORIE in Toa Payoh (District 12) with CDL, confirming the depth of their Singapore residential partnership.
Is the development suitable for owner-occupation by families?
The Robertson Opus is primarily positioned for couples, young professionals and investors rather than larger multi-generational families. There is no children’s playground on-site. However, the 3-Bedroom + Flexi and 3-Bedroom DuoFlex unit types (86–97 sqm) offer flexible room configurations that can accommodate a small family. River Valley Primary School is approximately 5 minutes away by car, and several international schools are within a 15-minute drive.
