More about Robinson Road
The name of Robinson Road derives from Sir William Cleaver Francis Robinson, the Governing of the Straits Settlements in 1877–1879. Robinson Road used to be along the shoreline of Telok Ayer Basin up until the Telok Ayer reclamation project in the early 1900s started and they started building Shenton Way. Robinson Road was originally constructed by the government in exchange for land to build a defence battery on Mount Palmer, which is now part of Tanjong Pagar.
For years, Robinson Road has been known for having the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department and Chinese daily Sin Chew Jit Poh. It’s also known to the local Chinese as as heng liong koi, in Hokkien, which means “heng long street”. Today, it is widely known as a busy street in the middle of Singapore’s Central Area where many restaurants and offices reside.
Today, Robinson Road is flanked by several buildings, most notably, Capital Tower and Crosby House.
Capital Tower is a 52-storey skyscraper on Robinson Road, next to Tanjong Pagar MRT Station. It’s the 4th tallest skyscraper in the city and it looks stunning at night when the logo and lights in some parts of the building would change colour. Meanwhile, Crosby House is a seven-storey office complex which serves as a landmark at the corner of Robinson Road and McCallum Street.
