Las Vegas Sands has commenced construction on a groundbreaking $8 billion ultra-luxury resort in Singapore, marking a significant expansion in the region. The project, officiated by Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong and Las Vegas Sands co-founder Miriam Adelson, aims to redefine luxury tourism with a 570-suite hotel tower, exclusive dining, and retail experiences.
The development, designed by Safdie Architects, will include a 55-storey hotel tower with a revolutionary Skyloop, offering panoramic views of Marina Bay and the Singapore Strait. The Skyloop will feature public and private spaces, including observatories, restaurants, and infinity pools. The project also boasts a 15,000-seat arena designed by Populous, set to host major international events.
Las Vegas Sands Chairman Robert Goldstein expressed pride in continuing the legacy of founder Sheldon Adelson, stating, “We have every intention of delivering a product that will be the envy of the hospitality industry.” The new development is expected to enhance Singapore’s position as a leading tourism destination.
Sustainability is a key focus, with the project incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient designs. The initiative aligns with Marina Bay Sands’ global sustainability strategy, Sands ECO360, aiming to minimise environmental impact.
Upon completion, the development is anticipated to further boost Singapore’s economy, creating jobs and supporting local businesses. Las Vegas Sands has invested over $15 billion in Singapore since 2010, underscoring its confidence in the region’s potential.
