Robertson Quay and the Singapore River around The Robertson Opus

The Robertson Opus stands a short walk from the water at Robertson Quay, the upriver stretch of the Singapore River. This guide follows the river from the development’s door: the promenade, the bridges, the dining and the quays downstream. Distances are straight lines on OneMap from the site.

The Riverside Promenade near The Robertson Opus

The Singapore River runs a little south of the site, beyond Merbau Road and the Singapore Repertory Theatre. Alkaff Bridge, one of the pedestrian crossings of Robertson Quay, is about 300 metres from the site, and a walkway follows both banks of the river, past apartments, hotels and restaurants, towards Clarke Quay in one direction and Great World in the other.

Upriver, Jiak Kim Bridge is about 680 metres away, near the edge of the Kim Seng area. The river walk is a popular route for runners, cyclists and evening walks, and the developer’s brochure describes the riverside lifestyle as one of culture, dining and the rhythm of the water.

Dining and Hotels along the Quay at The Robertson Opus

Robertson Quay is known for its riverside cafes, brunch spots and restaurants, many of them on the ground floors of the apartment and hotel buildings along the bank. The InterContinental Singapore Robertson Quay is about 420 metres from the site, and UE Square and RV Point, each within about 200 metres, add supermarkets, clinics and everyday shops close to home.

Measured on OneMap (SLA) from the site; walking routes are longer.

Clarke Quay and Boat Quay from The Robertson Opus

Downstream, Clarke Quay is about 520 metres from the site, with its restored warehouses, restaurants and evening crowds, and the new CanningHill Piers development rises at its edge about 325 metres away. Boat Quay, where the river meets the financial district, is just under a kilometre away. The developer’s brochure gives Clarke Quay as about six minutes on foot and Boat Quay about seven minutes by bicycle.

At Home by the River at The Robertson Opus

Within the development, the Robertson Walk retail podium continues the dining tradition of the quay on its own first storey and first basement, around the sunken Oasis Court. From the Sky Forest on the roofs, the vista decks look out towards the river and the city. The amenities page lists every space at The Robertson Opus.
