In a city where land is scarce and integrated living is fast becoming the gold standard, The Robertson Opus emerges as a future-forward development that brings together residence, lifestyle, and connectivity—all underpinned by a near-permanent tenure.
Developed by a joint venture between Frasers Property and Sekisui House, The Robertson Opus is not just another high-end condominium in the city. It is a 999-year leasehold mixed-use development, positioned in the coveted River Valley enclave—one of the most enduringly popular locales for both local and foreign buyers. With only a handful of such tenure-integrated projects left in Central Singapore, the launch of The Robertson Opus signals a window of opportunity that is as rare as it is valuable.
But what truly sets this project apart is the lifestyle it curates—not just a place to live, but a complete experience that blends the buzz of Robertson Quay with the tranquility of private homes, and the daily ease of connectivity to the CBD and lifestyle nodes.
Preview Date: 5 July 2025
Tentative Launch Date: 19 July 2025
Project Details
A Lifestyle That’s Curated, Not Compromised
At its core, The Robertson Opus is a residential sanctuary that pulses with the energy of a vibrant lifestyle precinct. Located at 11 Unity Street, it’s within a short walking distance of Fort Canning MRT (DTL), with Clarke Quay (NEL) and Great World (TEL) also within easy reach. This trio of train lines offers seamless connectivity across the island—be it to the CBD, Marina Bay, Orchard, or even the eastern coastline via TEL.
Yet, what residents will likely enjoy more is what’s just outside their doorstep.
Robertson Quay, Clarke Quay, and Boat Quay form a lifestyle belt that’s become synonymous with riverside dining, artsy cafes, weekend brunches, and elegant nightlife. Within a 3-minute walk, residents will find themselves at The Quayside, a popular cluster of waterfront restaurants. Slightly further afield, a short 5-minute drive brings you into the heart of the Orchard Road, Singapore’s iconic shopping destination.
Living at The Robertson Opus means living in the centre of lifestyle gravity.
Almost Freehold in the Heart of D9
In an era where most mixed-use launches carry a 99-year leasehold (such as Union Square Residences or The Collective @ One Sophia), The Robertson Opus stands out boldly with its 999-year tenure from the year 1841—in essence, freehold in all but name. For seasoned property buyers, this is not just a legal detail—it’s a strategic edge.
Long-tenure properties in central locations are not just rare—they tend to appreciate steadily, hold value better in downturns, and remain attractive to both owner-occupiers and investors. And in land-scarce Singapore, freehold and 999-year leasehold plots in District 9 are vanishingly rare.
When juxtaposed with the two aforementioned 99-year leasehold integrated projects, The Robertson Opus becomes even more compelling:
While The Robertson Opus has not yet released official pricing, expectations are that it will be competitive, especially when factoring in the superior tenure. For many, this could be the last chance to own a 999-year integrated development in the Core Central Region at attainable quantum levels.
Unit Distribution
The unit distribution at The Robertson Opus reflects a well-balanced strategy that caters to both investors and owner-occupiers, with a slight skew toward practical family living and dual-income urban households.
The largest share of the inventory is made up of 2-Bedroom units, accounting for 34% of the total 348 units, followed closely by 3-Bedroom units at 32%. This signals a deliberate focus on versatile, mid-sized homes likely to attract both young families and upgraders who value space in a central location. Interestingly, Studio and 1-Bedroom units each make up 11% of the inventory, offering entry-level options for singles, couples, or investors eyeing the rental market in a lifestyle-centric D9 locale. The presence of 2-Bedroom + Study units (9%) adds flexibility for work-from-home professionals or small families who need that extra functional space. Meanwhile, the 4-Bedroom Premium units are kept exclusive at just 3%, appealing to a niche group of affluent buyers seeking centrality without sacrificing size and privacy.
Altogether, the spread showcases an emphasis on practical layouts with a long-term hold appeal, while retaining a compact segment of smaller units to maintain investor interest and price accessibility.
Floor Plan Analysis
In this section, we spotlight three selected layouts that, in our view, strike the right balance between practicality and value-for-money. If you’d like to explore the full range of floor plans, feel free to contact our sales consultants here.
2-Bedroom (Type B1)
The 2-Bedroom Type B1 layout at The Robertson Opus (721 sqft) offers a sensible and space-efficient design tailored for modern urban living. Upon entry, a semi-open kitchen sits conveniently adjacent to the dining area—streamlined for practicality while maintaining flow into the communal spaces. The layout places both bedrooms along one side of the unit, promoting a cohesive and family-friendly configuration. The living and dining zones are contiguous, leading out to a well-sized balcony that introduces ample daylight and cross-ventilation. With two functional bathrooms—one en-suite to the master bedroom—the overall layout balances comfort, privacy, and day-to-day practicality in a compact footprint. This configuration is especially well-suited for young couples planning to start a family, small households seeking a core central address, or investors eyeing a versatile unit with strong tenant appeal.
3-Bedroom (C1-P)
The 3-Bedroom Type C1-P layout at The Robertson Opus (1,152 sqft) delivers a family-friendly configuration with generous proportions and thoughtful functionality. All three bedrooms are laid out in a single wing, allowing for restful separation from the communal zones. The enclosed kitchen caters well to frequent cooking, with an adjacent yard, WC, and household shelter providing essential utility space. A standout is the Flexi room—perfect as a study, playroom, or guest space depending on lifestyle needs. The living and dining areas are well-sized and lead out to a spacious balcony that enhances ventilation and natural light. This layout is especially well-suited for families with live-in help, multi-generational households, or those planning for long-term stay in a central location with both privacy and practicality in mind.
4-Bedroom (Type D1-P)
The 4-Bedroom Type D1-P layout at The Robertson Opus (1,539 sqft) is a spacious and luxurious configuration tailored for multi-generational families or those seeking long-term comfort with privacy and flexibility. The standout feature is its dual-suite design, with both a Master Bedroom and a Junior Master Bedroom—each with its own en-suite bathroom—providing enhanced liveability for extended families or older children. The living and dining zones form the heart of the home, flanked by a full-length balcony that invites natural light and outdoor relaxation. A fully enclosed kitchen connects to a functional yard, WC, and household shelter, supporting day-to-day practicality. The walk-in wardrobe in the master suite adds a premium touch, while Bedrooms 3 and 4 share easy access to a third common bathroom. Overall, this layout balances space, sophistication, and practical utility.
A Development Designed for Modern Urban Living
Spanning 330,063 sqft of land, The Robertson Opus comprises 348 residential units housed within five blocks of 9 to 10 storeys, elevated above a lifestyle-centric podium. While the residential segment will receive the bulk of attention, what truly elevates this development is its mixed-use nature—with curated retail and F&B offerings designed to serve both residents and the broader Robertson Quay community.
Gone are the days when mixed-use meant a noisy downstairs food court. Here, the integration is intentional, tasteful, and lifestyle-driven—mirroring global benchmarks in urban placemaking. Expect artisanal cafes, gourmet grocers, wine bars, and perhaps even boutique fitness concepts to set up shop.
This level of integration allows residents to “live above it all”—enjoying daily conveniences, yet always a lift ride away from retreating into their private sanctuaries.
Facilities That Embrace Wellness, Community & Elegance
In keeping with its urban-lifestyle positioning, The Robertson Opus will feature nearly 50 facilities catering to all age groups and activity preferences. Standout highlights include:
From young couples and professionals to multigenerational families, the facilities reflect an understanding that true luxury today means thoughtful convenience and mental respite.
Proximity to Education, Nature & Work Nodes
Another draw of The Robertson Opus is its centrality to Singapore’s top educational institutions. Within 1km sits the ever-popular River Valley Primary School, a major pull factor for local families. Other notable institutions include Anglo-Chinese School (Junior), School of the Arts (SOTA), and Outram Secondary School.
For green reprieve, residents are just a 7-minute walk to Fort Canning Park—a lush heritage park perfect for morning jogs or weekend family strolls.
And when it comes to work, the CBD and Marina Bay Financial Centre are within a 10-minute drive, or 30 minutes via public transport. This places The Robertson Opus in a prime position for working professionals who desire fast access to the business core without giving up quality of life.
Anticipating the Future of District 9
The Robertson Opus is entering the market at a time when demand for central, tenure-strong homes is quietly intensifying. As more of the GLS sites and upcoming launches trend toward leasehold configurations, buyers are re-evaluating the long-term value proposition of freehold or 999-year homes in CCR districts.
River Valley, in particular, has shown resilience in price and volume even in softening market cycles—thanks to its dual appeal to both owner-occupiers and investors, including expats. The integration of retail, dining, and residential functions here only reinforces that demand.
Moreover, with URA’s push for more walkable, lifestyle-centric precincts, The Robertson Opus is perfectly aligned with future urban planning directions, promising not just short-term excitement, but long-term value retention.
Final Thoughts: A Lasting Investment in Prime Central Living
In a market crowded with bold promises and transient offerings, The Robertson Opus sets itself apart with quiet confidence. It doesn’t need to shout to stand out—its value speaks for itself. With a prime District 9 address, long-leasehold tenure akin to freehold, and the rare mixed-use integration that blends lifestyle, convenience, and exclusivity, this development delivers both substance and staying power. The surrounding precinct is already a proven enclave of high liveability and demand, and with thoughtful design backed by two seasoned developers, The Robertson Opus is poised to offer more than just a home—it offers a lasting legacy. For those who recognise the importance of owning a well-located, long-tenure property in Singapore’s ever-evolving cityscape, this is not just an opportunity—it’s a timely one.
