Sands
Sands marked a momentous milestone with the groundbreaking of its new $8 billion ultra-luxurious resort and entertainment destination in Singapore.
The occasion was officiated by Singapore’s Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Lawrence Wong, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment and Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations Grace Fu, Sands co-founder Dr. Miriam Adelson, Sands Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Robert Goldstein, and Sands President and Chief Operating Officer Patrick Dumont.
“With its opening in 2010, our founder Sheldon G. Adelson embarked on a journey in Singapore with Marina Bay Sands and the people of Singapore that promised to change the face of tourism in the region,” Goldstein said. “Fifteen years later, we have delivered on these ambitions and more. Marina Bay Sands is the world’s most successful integrated resort in history, and the gold standard in the industry.”
The pioneering project will feature a soaring 570-suite luxury hotel tower capped with signature rooftop and dining experiences, luxury retail boutiques, gaming, holistic spa and wellness amenities, and approximately 200,000 square feet of premium meeting space. A purpose-built 15,000-seat arena situated against the stunning backdrop of Marina Bay aims to enhance the live entertainment scene in Asia.
Th new property is designed by the Safdie Architects, led by Moshe Safdie, the same firm behind Marina Bay Sands’design.
Rotated at a 45-degree angle to frame panoramic views of both the Marina Bay and the Singapore Strait, the 55-story hotel tower will rise with its twin wings curving outward as they ascend toward the sky.
The development will have biophilic designs integrated throughout the building along with a significant proportion of green amenities.
The hotel tower will have a 18,000-square-foot Skyloop that combines elevated public and private spaces.
The lower Skyloop will interweave several points of public access, including an observatory, destination restaurants and lush rooftop gardens.
Above, for hotels guests there are the private cabanas, infinity-edge pools and shading palms, and a cantilevered wellness terrace designed for yoga, arts and specialty events.
Situated adjacent to the hotel tower, the podium with the 15,000-seat state-of-the-art arena at its core, is a bustling hotspot for business, entertainment and cultural exchange.
In celebration of the milestone year of SG60, Marina Bay Sands also commissioned a film by local director Kirsten Tan to reflect on Singapore’s commitment to shaping a bright future. Title “Nothing Comes By Chance” you can watch on YoutTube here.
