As Singapore’s luxury real estate market continues to evolve, Frasers Property and Sekisui House have disclosed their ambitious joint venture, The Robertson Opus, set to transform the Robertson Quay precinct with a 999-year mixed-use development in prime District 9. The development, structured as a 51-49 partnership between the respective firms, will replace the existing Robertson Walk and Fraser Place Robertson Walk with an extensive waterfront residential and lifestyle hub targeted for completion by the end of 2028.
The Robertson Opus encompasses 348 luxury residential units distributed across five meticulously designed blocks rising up to 10 floors, creating an architectural landmark along Singapore’s historic river. One block will exclusively house studios and one-bedroom units, addressing investor demand and smaller household configurations in the premium market segment. The diverse unit mix includes studios starting at S$1.37 million (431 sq ft), one-bedroom units from S$1.58 million (495 sq ft), and extends to spacious four-bedroom residences priced from S$5.09 million (1,539 sq ft), with launch prices commencing at S$3,150 per square foot.
Strategically located within Singapore’s prestigious District 9, the development capitalizes on proximity to Clarke Quay, Boat Quay, Chinatown, and the Civic District, while offering exceptional connectivity through nearby transportation nodes. The project integrates seamlessly with the government’s ongoing rejuvenation initiatives for the Singapore River Planning Area, enhancing its long-term investment proposition. The development falls within the Core Central Region, which is known for commanding premium prices and offering strong potential for capital appreciation. The site will accommodate a substantial gross floor area of 30,664 square meters, maximizing the development potential in this prime location.
The development’s “virtual freehold” 999-year tenure represents a distinctive market advantage in Singapore’s largely leasehold luxury segment, potentially attracting both homebuyers and investors. Residents will benefit from premium finishes, extensive green landscaping, and thorough wellness facilities, reinforcing the developers’ commitment to sustainability and livability principles. The architectural design thoughtfully incorporates heritage elements while introducing modern technologies to create a harmonious blend with the historical significance of the area.
This project marks the continuation of a successful 13-year collaboration between Frasers Property and Sekisui House in Singapore’s real estate sector, leveraging both firms’ established reputations for delivering exceptional quality in the luxury development space. The Robertson Opus is scheduled for market launch in 2025, with anticipated strong demand given limited new supply in the Robertson Quay vicinity.
