One Robin is a freehold condo at 1 Robin Road, off Bukit Timah Road, in prime District 10. The 14-unit boutique project was completed in 2009 by Popular Holdings when the company briefly ventured into property development in the late-2000s while having interests in the book publishing, distribution and retail business. Under its subsidiary, Popular Land, the company completed three boutique projects, One Robin; 18 Shelford on Shelford Road; and 8 Raja at Jalan Raja Udang, off Balestier Road.

One Robin consists mainly of four-bedroom units ranging from 1,905 sq ft to 1,948 sq ft, each occupying an entire floor. Besides the duplex unit on sale, the development also has another 3,498 sq ft, duplex unit on the 16th floor.

EdgeProp Singapore reported in April last year that the condo touched a new price low of $1,155 psf on March 22 when a 1,905 sq ft unit on the ninth floor was sold for $2.2 million. The seller made a $537,900 loss on the sale as the unit had been bought from the developer for $2.74 million ($1,437 psf) in June 2009.
