A near-freehold address in prime District 9 — on the developer's own riverside.
Almost every new launch in Singapore today is 99-year leasehold. The Robertson Opus isn't. It sits on a 999-year lease commencing 1 July 1841 — running to roughly the year 2840 — which is near-freehold in all but the strictest legal sense. In prime District 9, beside Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River, a 999-year title is a genuine scarcity hook, and it's the first thing the developer leads with.
The developer is a 51:49 joint venture between Frasers Property and Japan's Sekisui House, through the entity Riverside Property Pte Ltd, with ADDP Architects and StudioMilou on the design. What makes the project unusual is that Frasers is redeveloping its own land: the site is the former Fraser Place Robertson Walk — the group's maiden hospitality project, built in 1998 — together with the adjoining Robertson Walk retail mall. This is a placemaking redevelopment of an asset Frasers has held for about twenty-five years, not a fresh government land tender.
The form follows that thinking. Rather than a single high tower, The Robertson Opus is five blocks of up to 10 storeys arranged around a landscaped central courtyard, with 348 homes sitting above a retail podium of 26 curated F&B and lifestyle units built around a sunken courtyard. The intent is to stitch the residences into the Robertson Quay dining belt rather than wall them off from it.
The market took it at a measured, prime-segment pace. The first preview over 5–6 July 2025 drew more than 3,000 visitors; when booking opened on 19 July, 143 of 348 units — 41% — sold over the weekend at an average S$3,360 psf, with the small premium tiers nearly cleared. About 83% of buyers were Singaporean. For S$3,000-plus psf prime stock, that is a healthy, owner-occupier-led result rather than a speculative sell-out.
Launched at S$3,360 psf average.
The Robertson Opus booked 143 of 348 units over its opening weekend at an average S$3,360 psf, in a range of S$3,149 to S$3,585. Pricing opened from S$3,150 psf at the July preview, with quantums from about S$1.37 million for a 431 sqft suite up to S$5.39 million for the largest 4-bedroom premium. Per URA caveats via EdgeProp, transactions over the last twelve months sit at roughly S$3,132 to S$3,633 psf, averaging about S$3,365 — so the launch average has held in the secondary data.
Set against the wider Robertson Quay and River Valley cluster, it prices at the top of the belt. It is dearer per psf than the Great World end's recent launches, and well above Frasers' own Riviere on resale — the premium you pay for the 999-year tenure and the dining-podium placemaking:
- Riviere (Frasers, resale): ~S$2,912 psf — 99-year, completed 2023
- Zyon Grand (2025): S$3,050 psf launch — integrated, over Havelock MRT
- River Green (2025): S$3,130 psf launch — Great World end
- River Modern (2026): ~S$3,266 psf — Great World end
- The Robertson Opus (2025): S$3,360 psf — the only 999-year title in the belt

Suites to four-bedders, by size and price.
The 348 homes run from a 431 sqft suite to a 1,539 sqft 4-bedroom premium. The premium tiers are small and confirmed — 27 of the 3-bedroom premium and 9 of the 4-bedroom premium — and nearly all of them sold at launch. Full per-type unit counts haven't been published in a form that reconciles cleanly to 348, so we list the mix by size and price band rather than publish unverified counts.
| Type | Size (sqft) | Indicative pricing |
|---|---|---|
| Suite (studio) | 431 | from S$1.37M (~S$3,179 psf) |
| 1-bedroom | 495 | from S$1.58M (~S$3,192 psf) |
| 2-bedroom | 689 – 743 | from S$2.17M (from S$3,149 psf) |
| 3-bedroom | 926 – 1,044 | from S$3.10M (~S$3,348 psf) |
| 3-bedroom premium | 1,152 | from S$3.68M (~S$3,194 psf) |
| 4-bedroom premium | 1,539 | from S$5.09M (~S$3,307 psf) |
Sizes and indicative starting prices are from EdgeProp's preview and launch coverage; only the 3-bedroom premium (27) and 4-bedroom premium (9) unit counts are publicly confirmed.

Unity Street — between Fort Canning and the river.
The site fronts Unity Street in the River Valley planning area, tucked between Fort Canning Hill and the Singapore River at the Robertson Quay end of the District 9 belt. The location map shows the red site pin, the nearest MRT in blue and River Valley Primary in green.
On connectivity, the honest read corrects the marketing: the nearest station is Fort Canning MRT (DT20) on the Downtown Line, about 316 m away — not Clarke Quay, which the sales site headlines but which is actually further at roughly 682 m. Great World MRT (TE15) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is about 898 m. The upside is real either way: three different lines — Downtown, North-East and Thomson-East Coast — are all within walking range.
Day-to-day, UE Square sits directly across River Valley Road about 120 m away, the Robertson Quay dining belt is roughly 460 m along the river, and Fort Canning Park's nearest entrance is about 470 m. This is a built-up, central address with amenities already in place — the opposite of a greenfield wait.
A central, river-and-park location, already built.
Unlike a new-town launch, almost everything here already exists. The Robertson Quay dining belt, the Singapore River promenade, Fort Canning Park, UE Square and three MRT lines are all in place today. The one school in the closest P1 band is River Valley Primary; the rest of the offer is the mature city-fringe lifestyle the precinct is known for.

Two buyers it fits — and one it doesn't.
A measured 41% launch tells you this is a discerning, price-filtered buyer pool — not a mass-market scramble. Here's where The Robertson Opus genuinely fits, and where it doesn't.
Near-freehold in a 99-year market.
For a buyer who cares about long-horizon value, the 999-year lease — running to roughly 2840 — is the headline. In a market where nearly every prime new launch is 99-year leasehold, an effectively near-freehold title in District 9 is rare, and it's the cleanest reason to pay up here.
It pairs with a blue-chip developer story: Frasers Property and Sekisui House redeveloping Frasers' own Robertson Walk, with the placemaking care that implies.
City-dwellers who want the river at the door.
For an owner-occupier who wants to live in the Robertson Quay dining belt — river promenade, Fort Canning, cafés and three MRT lines all on the doorstep — the integrated retail podium and low-rise, courtyard-led layout are the appeal. Everything is already built; nothing here is a wait.
The smaller suites and 2-bedders also work for a central city pied-à-terre or a leasing play into the Robertson Quay expat-and-professional tenant pool.
View-chasers, bargain hunters, and quiet-night sleepers.
If you want a high-floor, unobstructed river or skyline view, a five-block scheme of up to 10 storeys can't match the 36-to-62-storey towers nearby — Riviere, CanningHill Piers, Zyon Grand. If you're price-led, the Great World end of the same belt is cheaper per psf, and Frasers' own Riviere trades lower on resale. And if you're a light sleeper, a dining-and-bars podium below the homes in a nightlife quarter means evening footfall and noise for the lower and courtyard-facing stacks — worth checking the exact unit carefully.
What the launch hype won't tell you.
The pricing is high, in absolute terms.A launch average of S$3,360 psf means even the 431 sqft entry suite is about S$1.37 million and a 2-bedder starts around S$2.17 million. That quantum self-selects buyers — and it's why the launch pace was measured rather than explosive.
41% at launch is a filtered pace, not a sell-out. It's a healthy result for prime, high-quantum stock — but in the same belt CanningHill Piers cleared 77% in a weekend, Zyon Grand 84%, River Green 88% and River Modern over 90%. Read the 41% as price-segment filtering, not as runaway demand.
999-year is near-freehold, not freehold.It's far better than the standard 99-year lease and runs to roughly 2840 — but it is technically leasehold, and some buyers and lenders still draw a line between it and true freehold stock in the same district.
The podium that sells it can also disturb you. A 26-unit dining-and-lifestyle podium and a Robertson Quay nightlife setting are the lifestyle pitch — and also a source of evening noise and public footfall for lower and courtyard-facing units. The liveliness cuts both ways.
You'll have company on resale. River Green (524 units), River Modern (455), Zyon Grand (706) and CanningHill Piers (696) all add prime CCR stock within about a kilometre. The District 9 riverside is dense with new supply, so your eventual buyer or tenant will have plenty to choose from.

What buyers keep asking.
- When is The Robertson Opus expected to TOP? +
- The Robertson Opus's official vacant-possession (TOP) date is 30 June 2030, with legal completion on 30 June 2033, per the developer's microsite and EdgeProp's listing. Some third-party listings still circulate the earlier 1H2029 / end-2028 estimate from the joint-venture announcement; as of June 2026, the developer's microsite and EdgeProp consistently point to the official 2030 date.
- What does the 999-year tenure actually mean? +
- The Robertson Opus sits on a 999-year leasehold commencing 1 July 1841 — so the lease runs to roughly 2840. In practice that is near-freehold: almost every new launch in Singapore today is 99-year leasehold, so a 999-year title in prime District 9 is a genuine scarcity hook. It is not technically freehold, and some buyers and lenders still distinguish it from freehold stock — but the difference from a standard 99-year lease is enormous.
- What was the average launch PSF for The Robertson Opus? +
- The Robertson Opus launched at an average S$3,360 psf across the 143 units sold over launch weekend (19–20 July 2025), in a range of S$3,149 to S$3,585 psf. Indicative pricing started from S$3,150 psf at the July preview, with quantums from about S$1.37 million for a 431 sqft suite up to S$5.39 million for the largest 4-bedroom premium. Per URA caveats via EdgeProp, transactions over the last twelve months sit at roughly S$3,132 to S$3,633 psf, averaging about S$3,365 as of May 2026.
- How many units does The Robertson Opus have, and what's left? +
- The Robertson Opus has 348 residential units across five blocks of up to 10 storeys, plus 26 commercial F&B and lifestyle units in the retail podium. 143 units (41%) sold over launch weekend (July 2025) at S$3,360 psf average. The balance list moves as bookings settle — request the current availability below. Take-up has continued past the launch-weekend tally since — see the live "Current availability" panel above for the exact to-date count and how many units remain.
- Who is the developer? +
- The Robertson Opus is developed by a 51:49 joint venture between Frasers Property and Japan's Sekisui House, through the entity Riverside Property Pte Ltd. ADDP Architects is the developer-listed architect, working with StudioMilou on the design. It is Frasers redeveloping its own former Robertson Walk — built in 1998 as the group's maiden hospitality project — rather than a government land sale site.
- What is the site's history? +
- The Robertson Opus is the redevelopment of Frasers Property's own former Fraser Place Robertson Walk and the adjoining Robertson Walk retail mall, built in 1998. Frasers has held the land — on its 999-year lease — for around twenty-five years, so this is a placemaking redevelopment of an asset the developer already owned, not a fresh land tender.
- What is the nearest MRT? +
- Fort Canning MRT (DT20) on the Downtown Line is the nearest station to The Robertson Opus, about 316 m away by straight line. The sales marketing leans on Clarke Quay MRT (NE5), but that's actually further at roughly 682 m; Great World MRT (TE15) on the Thomson-East Coast Line is about 898 m. So the development genuinely reaches three lines — Downtown, North-East and Thomson-East Coast — with Fort Canning the closest door.
- What's the unit mix at The Robertson Opus? +
- The Robertson Opus's 348 homes span a 431 sqft suite up to a 1,539 sqft 4-bedroom premium: studio suites (431 sqft), 1-bedroom (495), 2-bedroom (689–743), 3-bedroom (926–1,044), 3-bedroom premium (1,152) and 4-bedroom premium (1,539). The two premium tiers are small and confirmed — 27 of the 3-bedroom premium and 9 of the 4-bedroom premium. Full per-type unit counts haven't been published in a way that reconciles cleanly to 348, so we list the mix by size and price band rather than publish unverified counts — request the developer factsheet via the form below.
- What's at the retail podium? +
- 26 commercial units form The Robertson Opus's curated retail podium, built around a sunken courtyard — fine dining, cafés and lifestyle concepts on the first storey and basement, knitting the homes into the Robertson Quay riverside dining belt. Specific tenants haven't been announced. The flip side is honest: a dining-and-bars podium below the residences means evening footfall and noise for the lower and courtyard-facing units.
- What schools are nearby? +
- River Valley Primary School is about 686 m from The Robertson Opus — within the 1 km Primary 1 priority band, the only mainstream primary inside 1 km of the site. Beyond that, the central location puts a wide spread of city-fringe schools within a short drive, but River Valley Primary is the one that qualifies for the closest P1 tier.
- Why did only 41% sell at launch? +
- The Robertson Opus is prime CCR product at S$3,000-plus psf and high quantums — S$1.37 million to S$5.39 million — so the buyer pool is naturally narrower and the pace more measured than mass-market launches. The 41% (143 of 348) at S$3,360 psf is healthy for the segment. Premium types led the way: 26 of 27 three-bedroom-premium and 8 of 9 four-bedroom-premium units sold over launch weekend. Frame it as price-filtered, not a hot sell-through.
- How does it compare to Riviere? +
- Riviere is the closest reference for The Robertson Opus — Frasers' own prior Robertson-area project on Jiak Kim Street, about 771 m away. It's 99-year leasehold (completed 2023), 455 units in two 36-storey towers, 100% sold, with recent resale around S$2,912 psf as of May 2026. The Robertson Opus is its 999-year, low-rise, mixed-use successor at a higher psf — you're paying up for the near-freehold tenure and the dining-podium placemaking, and trading the high-floor tower views for a five-block scheme of up to 10 storeys.

- 02It's a blue-chip developer on its own land.Frasers Property and Sekisui House redeveloping Frasers' own former Robertson Walk reads as a placemaking play, not a quick GLS punt — reassuring for a long-horizon prime buyer.
- 03The premium layouts sold first.26 of 27 three-bedroom-premium and 8 of 9 four-bedroom-premium units went over launch weekend. The largest, dearest homes cleared fastest — a sign of conviction buyers, not bargain hunters.
- 04Demand was local, not foreign-flow.About 83% of buyers were Singaporean, 16% PR and 1% foreigner. Owner-occupier-led domestic demand held up despite the prime-segment ABSD headwinds.
- 05The pace was measured, by design.At S$3,000-plus psf and S$1.37M–S$5.39M quantums, 41% in a weekend is a price-filtered result — the largest, dearest homes leading the way rather than a mass-market overnight sell-out.
