Over the weekend of July 19–20, Singapore-listed Frasers Property and Japanese developer Sekisui House launched The Robertson Opus for sale. By 6pm on Sunday, July 20, 143 units — or 41% of the 348-unit development — had been sold at an average price of $3,360 psf.
“The robust sales performance at The Robertson Opus is a testament to the project’s outstanding design, quality, and prime location, and reflects strong demand for luxury homes in Singapore’s city centre,” says Toru Ishii, director of the board of Sekisui House, in a joint statement by the partners.
Located in prime District 9, The Robertson Opus is a redevelopment of the former Fraser Place at Robertson Walk. The 999-year leasehold project is part of a mixed-use development that includes a retail podium with a sunken courtyard and 26 units housing a curated mix of fine dining restaurants, cafés, and lifestyle concepts.

"The project’s rare 999-year tenure, prestigious District 9 address, and sophisticated riverside lifestyle make it a compelling choice for discerning buyers seeking long-term value and generational wealth," says Soon Su Lin, CEO of Frasers Property.

The residential component comprises five 10-storey blocks arranged around a landscaped central courtyard. Units sold ranged from $1.369 million for a 431 sq ft suite to $5.39 million for a 1,539 sq ft four-bedroom premium unit. On a psf basis, prices ranged from $3,149 to $3,585.
According to Mark Yip, CEO of Huttons Asia, The Robertson Opus is the only 999-year leasehold project launched in the Core Central Region (CCR) this year.
Yip highlights the project’s location near the Singapore River and Clarke Quay, as well as its accessibility — Fort Canning MRT Station on the Downtown Line is less than a five-minute walk away. River Valley Primary School is also within a 1km radius.
Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex Realty attributes the healthy sales at The Robertson Opus to “the vibrancy and convenience of a mixed-use development, where residents are co-located with retail and F&B options”.

Owner-occupier demand, long-term investment
Of the 27 three-bedroom premium units, 26 were sold at prices ranging from $3.699 million to $4.039 million ($3,211 to $3,506 psf). Eight of the nine four-bedroom premium units were also taken up, at prices between $5.15 million and $5.39 million ($3,346 to $3,502 psf). These units form part of the Legacy Collection, which is now nearly sold out — underscoring strong demand for larger, premium homes, says the joint developers.
Two- and two-bedroom plus study units accounted for about 45% of total sales, with prices from $2.17 million to $2.63 million ($3,149 to $3,540 psf). Three-bedroom units, including the premium types, made up nearly 39% of take-up, priced between $3.1 million and $4.039 million ($3,079 to $3,506 psf). Together, these unit types comprised approximately 83% of all units sold.
Frasers Property notes that around 83% of buyers are Singaporeans, 16% are Permanent Residents — primarily from China and Indonesia — and the remaining 1% are foreigners from the USA and Switzerland. “The buyers comprise affluent professionals purchasing for their own stay or investment,” says Soon.
Limited supply in the Robertson Quay subzone
The last freehold or 999-year leasehold project launched in the area was the 376-unit freehold The Avenir over five years ago. The luxury development, by a joint venture between Hong Leong Holdings, GuocoLand, and Hong Realty, was launched in January 2020 and completed last year. Based on 11 caveats lodged in 2025 to date, the average transacted price was $3,423 psf.

Marcus Chu, CEO of ERA Singapore, estimates that there are fewer than 5,000 non-landed private homes in the Robertson Quay subzone. “Currently, there are no other new projects with similar features in the pipeline,” he says. “This supply limitation, coupled with sustained demand for central living, makes The Robertson Opus a compelling mid- to long-term investment.”
Upcoming launches in prime areas
Two other prime projects were also previewed over the same weekend: the 524-unit River Green by Wing Tai Holdings at River Valley Green in prime District 9, and the 596-unit Promenade Peak by Allgreen Properties in District 3.
While River Green falls within the Core Central Region (CCR), its proximity to Promenade Peak — technically in the Rest of Central Region (RCR) — blurs the lines between the two regions, notes Ken Low, managing partner of SRI.
“In this tightly held enclave near Great World MRT, where new supply is limited and competition is rare, such simultaneous launches offer a rare window for buyers to assess, compare, and act,” he says.
Price points have also drawn interest. Promenade Peak is priced from around $2,680 psf, while River Green starts from $2,846 psf — positioning both as compelling options, adds Low.
“The robust turnout at both previews bodes well for their official launch on August 2, signalling positive momentum and healthy buyer appetite,” Low observes.

“This weekend’s CCR sales are very encouraging and send a positive signal for this sub-market, especially with more CCR launches coming up,” says PropNex’s Fong.
