Guests can already enjoy the newest additions at the resort attraction 

Marina Bay Sands has announced a series of programme enhancements to its expansion project. Full-scale construction is set to begin by July 2025 with targeted completion by July 2029. However some aspects of the enhancement can already be enjoyed by guests today.

Top Notch Design

The expansion is designed by Safdie Architects, led by Moshe Safdie, who were the architects of the existing property. It will include a luxury hotel tower with a sky roof, a 15,000-seat entertainment arena and additional premium MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions) space, as well as new food and beverage and nightlife offerings.

Marina Bay Sands’ expansion will play an important role in driving additional inbound travel to Singapore. The arena will help attract top entertainers from Asia and around the world who previously may not have included Southeast Asia on their tours, while the additional MICE space will help attract more new-to-Singapore events.

A Billion Dollar Investment

The expansion project is separate from a USD1.75 billion (roughly RM8.3 billion) reinvestment in the existing property. The largest reinvestment since Marina Bay Sands’ opening in 2010, it has already seen the complete refurbishment of Hotel Towers 1 and 2, in addition to new dining offerings and luxury lifestyle amenities for high-value travellers.

Refurbishment work is now also focusing on Hotel Tower, in addition to the Hotel Lobby and Sands SkyPark. It will include a reimagined VIP arrival experience, new premium dining and retail offerings, lobby transformation and renewed focus on wellness experiences for guests.

A Popular Tourist Destination

Since opening in 2010 at a development cost of USD5.6 billion (about RM26.7 billion), Marina Bay Sands has provided significant benefits to Singapore’s tourism sector, with over 470 million people having visited the resort since its opening.

The resort has also meaningfully contributed to the business tourism appeal of Singapore since its opening. Marina Bay Sands has also benefited the economy of the country through the creation of new jobs and support for local businesses including small and medium-sized enterprises.

The integrated resort directly employs more than 11,500 team members, with the figure expected to rise progressively in the years ahead to support the expansion of the resort.
