Sands' SkyPark to be complete in coming weeks

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark is set to finish its heavy lifting works in the coming weeks.

The last piece of the cantilever, part of a superstructure that weighs 7,000 tonnes in total, is scheduled to be lifted in the coming weeks, making it the longest observation deck in the world.

Las Vegas Sands Corp.’s Chairman, Mr Sheldon G. Adelson and Dr. Miriam Adelson were in Singapore on the 20th of December for the occasion. “We wanted to bring something special to Singapore and the Sands SkyPark meets that ambition. The design is incredibly phenomenal. It is amongst the world’s greatest engineering and architectural feats of modern times. The completion of the SkyPark’s steel structure represents a major milestone in the completion of this property. Marina Bay Sands is a one-of-a-kind property in the entire world – it will be one of the most photographed buildings ever. We are incredibly proud of all that has been achieved in 2009 and look forward to realizing our vision in 2010,” said Mr. Adelson.

The SkyPark superstructure is made up of 14 individual parts, lifted using a unique combination of bridge and building technology. When complete, the 1.2 hectare Sands SkyPark will be home to restaurants, a 150-meter swimming pool, lush greenery and the public observation deck.

Marina Bay Sands will feature large and flexible convention and exhibition facilities, 2,500 luxury hotel rooms, the rooftop Sands SkyPark, a museum, gaming, Paiza for premium players, theatres, including the premier production “The Lion King”, an outdoor event plaza, and unparalleled shopping and dining.

Marina Bay Sands has earlier announced that the park should be open in the second quarter of next year.
