Artist’s impressionThe Tenure of The Robertson Opus
The Robertson Opus is leasehold, on a 999-year lease that began on 1 July 1841, according to the developer’s published particulars. With a term of 999 years from 1841, the lease runs to the 29th century.
The lease has been running since 1841, for more than 180 years, and more than 800 years of its term remain.
The lease covers Lots 245X and 246L of Town Subdivision 9, a site of about 9,102.72 square metres (97,980.86 sq ft) at 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 Unity Street, in the Robertson Quay neighbourhood of District 9 and the Core Central Region.
The Land beneath The Robertson Opus
The Robertson Opus fills the block between Unity Street, Merbau Road and Mohamed Sultan Road, on the land that held the Robertson Walk mall. Buyers searching for the Robertson Walk redevelopment are looking at the same address.
The podium keeps the old name: Frasers Property calls the commercial part of the development the Robertson Walk retail podium, with dining and shops on the first storey and the first basement around the sunken Oasis Court. To the south, beyond Merbau Road and the Singapore Repertory Theatre, the Singapore River bends past Robertson Quay, and to the east rise the slopes of Fort Canning Hill.
On the developer’s site plans, Blocks 9 and 11 face Unity Street, Block 7 stands on the Mohamed Sultan Road side, Block 13 on the Merbau Road side and Block 15 at the southern edge, towards the river.

The Name and Setting of The Robertson Opus
The name joins the place and the idea. Robertson is the quay and the old Robertson Walk on whose land the development stands, and opus, a work of art, is the theme the developer’s brochure carries through its pages. The Chinese name is 罗奥湾, and the factsheet sums up the concept as “Where the Blue & Green Meet”: the river on one side and Fort Canning Hill on the other.
The address sits in the Core Central Region, between the river, Fort Canning Hill and Orchard Road. Fort Canning station is about 285 metres from the site in a straight line, and Orchard Road, the Civic District and the Central Business District each lie between one and two kilometres away, as the location page maps.
Land Tenure and Loan Tenure at The Robertson Opus
The word tenure appears twice when buying a home. The tenure of the land is the 999-year lease above. The tenure of a housing loan is its length: private home loans can run for up to 35 years, and under MAS rules a loan longer than 30 years, or one that runs past the borrower’s 65th birthday, moves into the lower loan-to-value band.
The housing loan page explains the loan limits, and the stamp duty page the duties payable on the purchase, which turn on the buyer’s profile.
The land tenure is fixed in the developer’s particulars; the loan tenure is set within the MAS limits described on the housing loan page.
