Watermark @ Robertson Quay









Watermark @ Robertson Quay is a boutique mixed development with lofts, private lift lobbies and retail shops. This element of conservation injects uniqueness into the project. Old warehouses on this site were built in the late 1800s by Danish trading firm East Asiatic Company. It has the 'loft living' concept borrowed from New York City where artists moved into abandoned industrial buildings for cheap rent and large space in the 1950s.

Those complexes have since been converted into upmarket loft apartments and studio flats, and celebrities and investment bankers have long since replaced the struggling artists. Under the Urban Redevelopment Authority guidelines, the 19th century warehouse facade at the Watermark will be integrated into its overall contemporary design.
