Marina Bay Sands’ new ultra-luxury resort destination to be built at US$8 billion investment

Parent company Las Vegas Sands invests in the growth of Singapore’s high value leisure and business tourism market

Marina Bay Sands’ new ultra-luxury resort destination – known as IR2 – will be built at an estimated total development cost of US$8 billion.

Complementing and enhancing the existing resort, the new property will be designed by Safdie Architects, led by Moshe Safdie, the architect of the existing Marina Bay Sands. It is set to redefine the Singapore skyline.

Guests can look forward to a 570-all-suite ultra luxury hotel, capped by a signature rooftop experience, destination food & beverage, nightlife and public attractions. A host of unparalleled experiences awaits, including approximately 200,000 sq feet of premium MICE space, a 15,000-seat arena designed to be the leading live entertainment venue in Asia, luxury retail boutiques, additional lifestyle and wellness amenities, and more.

Construction is scheduled to commence in June 2025, and is expected to be completed by June 2030. The estimated official opening is set for January 2031, subject to approval from the Singapore Government.

‘Above Beyond’ in every way

Marina Bay Sands unveiled its new brand vision Above Beyond as it reached a significant milestone in its US$1.75 billion reinvestment programme, with the completion of the exclusive Paiza Collection across all three hotel towers. Designed to elevate every facet of the guest and hospitality experience, the ambitious transformation was driven by a vision to create a destination that transcends imagination.

Paul Town, Chief Operating Officer of Marina Bay Sands, said: “From inception, Marina Bay Sands had a forward-looking vision, designed to reshape the tourism landscape of Singapore. Since our opening in 2010, we have defied expectations again and again, and become one of the most successful integrated resorts in the world. We are now at the next stage of development with our ambitious transformation that is pushing the boundaries of luxury hospitality. The new brand vision and property refurbishment is timely as it mirrors and complements this vision, setting the tone as we enter the next phase of growth.”

To capture the power and significance of both the transformation and the multifaceted experience of the destination, Marina Bay Sands commissioned a multidisciplinary group of creative visionaries to interpret and express ‘Above Beyond’ in their own way.
