About Robertson Edge
Robertson Edge is a 10-storey apartment block at 18 Tong Watt Road, Singapore 238010, in District 9 (Orchard, Cairnhill, River Valley). EdgeProp lists the developer as CSA Venture Pte Ltd and the completion year as 2008. The land is held on a 999-year lease that started on 1 July 1841, which for practical purposes is close to freehold.
The project packs 70 apartments onto a compact plot of about 938 sq m, with a gross floor area of around 3,564 sq m. That makes it a city-fringe block of small units instead of a full-facility condominium. Despite the name it is not on the river itself. It stands one street back, a few minutes' walk from Robertson Quay. As of 2026 the building is standing and managed by MCST 3413.
Interesting facts
Tong Watt Road is named after Tan Tong Watt (1861 to 1907), a Hokkien landowner who began his career as a clerk with the trading firm Behn Meyer. The road was laid out on his land and carries his name at his own request, according to published street-name studies.
Parts of Tong Watt Road fall within the River Valley Conservation Area, which the Urban Redevelopment Authority gazetted on 25 October 1991. The area is mainly three-storey shophouses in the Late and Transitional styles.
URA notes that these shophouses once served the owners and workers of the godowns and warehouses along the river.
The 999-year lease dating from 1841 is shared with several neighbouring plots, including The Wharf Residence on the same road.
