About 144 Robinson Road
144 Robinson Road, better known as Robinson Square, is a 20-storey strata-titled commercial building in Singapore's central business district (District 1). It was developed by Oxley Blossom Pte Ltd, part of listed developer Oxley Holdings, and holds 38 units of shops and offices. The land is held as an estate in perpetuity, which is equivalent to freehold. The site is small, at roughly 4,500 sq ft, so the tower is slender with only a couple of units per floor.
Oxley describes the offices as averaging about 1,180 sq ft, each with a high ceiling, direct lift access and its own restroom. Parking is handled by a mechanised car park. The facade is dressed with louvres and is lit after dusk. Units are owned individually and are used by small firms that want a CBD address.
Interesting facts
Robinson Square is one of a pair of Oxley projects on this stretch. The developer also built the larger Oxley Tower a few doors away at 138 Robinson Road.
Boustead Singapore announced in December 2012 that a subsidiary had won a contract of about $23 million to build Oxley's 20-storey commercial development on Robinson Road.
Robinson Road stands on land reclaimed from Telok Ayer Bay in 1879, and is named after a Governor of the Straits Settlements who served from 1877 to 1879. This fact relates to the street rather than the building.
