Mall at Marina Bay Sands may be sold as early as 2013

The potential sale could be worth as much as $4 billion.

A report in Reuters quoted Las Vegas Sands president and chief operating officer Micheal Leven as saying, ""We did over a billion dollars in our first year in EBITDA. We expect that to grow. I think a four-to-five year payback in that situation, anybody would be happy with that return on investment.”

Leven continued, “We should do that very easily without even selling an asset like our mall, which we expect to sell maybe in 2013 or 2014, which can provide as much as $4 billion back for our $6 billion investment just on the mall alone."

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
