About Robinson Suites

Robinson Suites is a freehold apartment tower at 50 Robinson Road, in the Downtown Core of Singapore (District 1). Property portals record 167 homes across 41 storeys, developed by 50 Robinson Pte Ltd and designed by Ronny Chin Architects. It was completed in the mid-2010s. The site is compact, at about 841 sq m, with a gross floor area of roughly 10,339 sq m, so the building rises as a slim tower with shop space at street level.

The homes are one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, aimed at people who work in the financial district. Shared facilities listed for the project include a lap pool, jacuzzi, gym and barbecue area. It is one of only a few purely residential addresses on Robinson Road, a street otherwise lined with office towers.

Interesting facts

  • The land is freehold, whereas the newer residential towers around Marina Bay and Shenton Way stand on 99-year leasehold state land.

  • The plot is under a tenth of a hectare, yet carries more than 160 apartments, which shows how tightly CBD sites are built.

  • Robinson Road was created on the Telok Ayer reclamation of 1879 and is named after a Governor of the Straits Settlements who served from 1877 to 1879. This relates to the street rather than the building.

  • Lau Pa Sat, the cast-iron market hall and national monument, is a short walk away.

Nearby

Telok Ayer MRT (Downtown Line) is about three minutes' walk. Raffles Place MRT (East-West and North-South Lines) and Downtown MRT (Downtown Line) are around five to six minutes away. Lau Pa Sat and Amoy Street Food Centre cover everyday meals. Thian Hock Keng temple and the Telok Ayer shophouses are close, and Marina Bay's waterfront promenade is within walking distance. There are no mainstream schools in the immediate area; the nearest primary school is Cantonment Primary in Tanjong Pagar.
