Singapore's iconic Marina Bay Sands (MBS) is finalising its design
plans for its expansive transformation. With full-scale construction
slated to commence by July 2025 and a targeted finish by July 2029, the
MBS expansion promises a host of exciting additions.
Designed by Safdie Architects, the expansion encompasses a luxurious
hotel tower boasting a sky roof, a cutting-edge 15,000-seat
entertainment arena, and enhanced premium MICE facilities. Additionally,
new culinary and nightlife experiences are in the pipeline..
The jewel in the crown of the expansion is the state-of-the-art
arena, primed to become Asia's premier live entertainment venue, and
expected to draw world-class performers and their hordes of fans.

“The all-suite hotel tower will set new standards of hospitality, the
state-of-the-art arena will help attract the highest-calibre global
entertainment events and artists, and the additional convention and
exhibition space will extend the success of Singapore as a leading MICE
destination,” said Patrick Dumont, president and chief operating officer
of Marina Bay Sands’ parent company, Las Vegas Sands.
Moreover, the expansion complements MBS's ongoing S$1.75 billion
reinvestment initiative, focusing on refurbishing existing facilities
and introducing new upscale amenities.
Since its inception in 2010, MBS has been a cornerstone of
Singapore's tourism sector, attracting millions of visitors and hosting
numerous MICE events, thereby bolstering the economy and fostering local
enterprise.
