Singapore breaks ground on luxury high-swimmers development

Move over, high-fliers - looks like ultra-luxury living is now about swimming-pools in the sky. If you're subject to vertigo, you may not even want to watch this swoop around Marina Bay Sands - the Las Vegas Sands group's new US$8 billion ultra-luxurious resort and entertainment destination in Singapore. The US casino and resort company says that "When completed, this new development is set to redefine industry standards further and push boundaries in the realms of luxury tourism, hospitality and entertainment, curating the finest and most exclusive suite experiences for travellers". The architects who designed the spectacular set of buildings say of this project: “Architecture should uplift the spirit and resonate with its setting. With this new development at Marina Bay Sands, we set out to create a building that is both emblematic of the future and rooted in the values of Singapore—where the public realm is celebrated, nature is thoughtfully integrated, and shared experiences are infused with delight."
