Frasers Property-Sekisui House sells 41% of units at The Robertson Opus at an average price of $3,360 psf
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.

4 States Where Home Prices Are Expected To Crash in the Next 12 Months
For anyone following along, the housing market has seen some ups and downs in recent years. While it's impossible to predict the future, many experts expect the home prices to fall in several states over the next 12 months. Explore More: Find Out: This guide explores which states are expected to see dramatic drops in home sale prices based on these market predictions from Forbes. Florida Home prices are falling in some cities across Florida. Cape Coral, located in southwest Florida, stands out for some of the most dramatic drops. A recent report from The Wall Street Journal found that home prices in the Cape Coral-Fort Myers area have dropped by over 11% in the last few years. Homes in the area are sitting on the market for extended periods of time, which is pushing prices lower. Additionally, almost 8% of Cape Coral homeowners owe more than their homes are worth, all setting the stage for a potential housing crash in the area. Other cities in Florida seeing home prices fall quickly include North Port, Tampa, Jacksonville, Palm Bay and Deltona, according to Newsweek. Beyond individual cities in the Sunshine State, plummeting condo prices have rocked the real estate world in the coastal regions of the state, particularly in South Florida, per Tampa Bay Times. After the tragic Surfside condo collapse, the state increased safety regulation and inspection requirements, which added up to extra costs for condo owners. As the costs of ownership skyrocketed, many owners tried to sell out, essentially flooding the condo market and leading to falling condo prices across the state. Texas The Lone Star State is seeing home prices fall, which could represent the beginning stages of a crash. With home prices dropping in major Texan cities, including Austin and Dallas, rising inventory is contributing to falling prices, according to Zillow. California California home prices are slipping, but not by much. As of writing, the average home value in California is $786,107, which is down by 0.6% from last year, per Zillow. But with home sales in the state already down 37% from their pandemic peak, according to Newsweek, it's unclear how far California home sales can fall. North Carolina North Carolina has seen home values fall around the state, particularly in more populous cities, like Charlotte and Raleigh. Across the state, home values are down by 0.6% in the last year. But in Raleigh, the downside has been significantly larger, with average home values down by 2.2% in the last year. What This Means for You A potent combination of high interest rates and growing inventory in these once-hot markets is forcing a cool down. For sellers, this could mean getting less value out of their home. For buyers, it could represent an opportunity to move forward on a home purchase. As you consider a home purchase, keeping an eye on market factors can be helpful. But before purchasing a home, the most important thing is that your financial situation is in the right position for homeownership. If it's not, even a market downturn might not mean it's time for you to purchase a home. Instead, you might need to take time building up your financial situation before jumping into a home purchase. Takeaway Many factors contribute to falling home values across the country. As the housing market cools from a hot seller's market into a buyer's market, home values are also sliding. But not all housing markets across the country are being impacted equally. Specifically, housing markets in the South and West seem to be losing steam while those in the Northeast and Midwest seem to be ticking along with modestly rising property values.

The 5 cities where home prices are dropping fast as the housing freeze causes inventory to pile up
Home prices are dropping in a handful of major US cities, creating opportunities for buyers. A stuck housing market is causing inventory to pile up, putting pressure on prices. Home prices are elevated nationally, but these five markets are seeing declines. The housing market is still frozen over. While that hasn't translated into meaningful price declines nationally, there are a handful of areas where things look better for home buyers. Shop Top Mortgage Rates A quicker path to financial freedom Your Path to Homeownership Personalized rates in minutes Redfin site said the median sales price for a home dropped in 14 of the 50 most populous US metro areas in the last month. That's largely due to the uncertainty hanging over the US economy, which is causing inventory to pile up in the market, Redfin said in its report. "Sellers need to start coming to terms with two things: One, homes are more often going to sit on the market for longer than a week or two before they sell, and two, buyers are gaining the upper hand," James Gulden, a Redfin agent based in Boston, said in a statement. The median home prices notched an all-time high in June, touching $435,300, but some areas cooled in July. Here are the top five cities that saw the steepest drop in median home sales prices in the four weeks leading up to July 27, according to Redfin. 1. Oakland, California Median sale price: $850,000 (June 2025) YoY% drop in four-week period: -6.8% 2. West Palm Beach, Florida Median sale price: $425,000 (June 2025) YoY% drop in four-week period: -4.9% 3. Jacksonville, Florida Median sale price: $300,990 (June 2025) YoY% drop in four-week period: -3.1% 4. Austin, Texas Median sale price: $556,340 (June 2025) YoY% drop in four-week period: -2.9% 5.
