Opening of CityDev’s gigantic South Beach hotel delayed by manpower shortage

Soft launch has been pushed back to September.

The luxurious 654-room South Beach hotel was originally intended to be launched in April. However, the mega-development soon ran into an equally massive hurdle: Singapore’s intense manpower crunch.

A report by RHB Research said that South Beach hotel has delayed its soft launch to September this year due to labour shortages and the project’s mega scale.

South Beach is being developed by Singapore-based City Developments Limited and IOI Group Malaysia.

The hotel will be complemented by South Beach Quarter, which will span 13,000 sq ft of retail space, consisting of a 2-storey conservation block.

This will house four brand-new food and beverage (F&B) concepts to the market, with an additional exclusive “word-of-mouth only” nightclub.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
