The Robertson Opus, a new 999-year leasehold development in Robertson Quay, achieved impressive sales during its launch, with 41% of its 348 units sold at an average price of $3,360 per square foot. This makes it one of the most successful launches in the Core Central Region (CCR) in recent years, according to Kelvin Fong, CEO of PropNex.
The development’s success is attributed to its prime location in District 9 and the limited supply of similar projects in the area. The last comparable launches in the Singapore River Planning Area were in 2010. The Robertson Opus offers a mix of residential and commercial spaces, enhancing its appeal with proximity to retail and dining options, as well as the Fort Canning MRT station.
The pricing of units at The Robertson Opus is considered attractive, with one-bedroom units ranging from $1.59 million to $1.67 million, two-bedroom units from $2.17 million to $2.63 million, and three-bedroom units starting at $3.10 million. The development’s location and amenities, including nearby shopping centres and parks, further boost its desirability.
This weekend also saw the launch of UpperHouse at Orchard Boulevard, which sold 160 out of 301 units. Together, these two CCR projects sold 303 units, surpassing the quarterly CCR new home sales recorded in Q3 2023. The demand for private housing is primarily driven by local buyers, with over 93% of non-landed new private homes in the CCR purchased by Singapore PRs and Singaporeans in the first half of 2025.
The strong sales performance sends a positive signal for the CCR sub-market, with more launches expected in the coming months. The momentum from this weekend’s sales is anticipated to continue into August, as more new projects are introduced.
