Sands Breaks Ground on New Ultra-Luxury Development in Singapore
Sands marked a momentous milestone earlier today with the groundbreaking of its new $8 billion ultra-luxurious resort and entertainment destination in Singapore, which will expand its regional footprint and strengthen its commitment to the Republic’s future.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. It has been truly incredible to witness Mr. Adelson’s vision come to life, and we are proud to carry his legacy forward with today’s groundbreaking ceremony for our new development here. We have every intention of delivering a product that will be the envy of the hospitality industry and usher in a new era of luxury tourism in Singapore
