Marina Bay Sands Part 2 - Mar 2010

This is the second part of the blog post on 28 Feb. It had been very hot and humid in Singapore in these couple of weeks, probably around 34C in the afternoon city.

Should be ready in less than 60 days.

Adjacent to Marina Bay Sands, a new office building is currently under construction, the whole area was hot, dusty and noisy.

Lifted the camera above the fences to have the pictures taken, the "colorful seats" is the floating platform, venue for the National Day parade.


Another building under construction in the city area.

Pictures taken on 3 Mar 2010

On the 28 Jul 2009, construction of the three towers. (the hotel tower)

Massive construction going on, workers working on 2 shifts. Probably the convention centres...

National Day parade on the floating platform. With the IR at the background.

Working round the clock...

Marina Bay Sands in Singapore to Open Its Doors on April 27, 2010

Grand Opening Celebration, Including the Unveiling of the Extraordinary Sands SkyPark, to Follow on June 23

Last year on the 28 July, I attended the national day parade preview at the floating platform.

I captured a few shoots of Marina Bay Sands during construction. Coming April, Singapore's second Integrated Resort (IR), prefer to call the second casino will be in operation. Unlike Resorts World Sentosa which targets leisure travellers, Marina Bay Sands has said its focus is on high-end business travellers as well as the meetings and convention sectors. In the coming week, I will be travelling down to the city to capture some pictures of the new attraction, so stay tune, for more pictures here.
