Integrated Casino Resort next key landmark

With global players showing a keen interest in the proposed integrated resort in Singapore what is clear is that the investment will be huge. And market-watchers say that means the resort could well be the next key landmark in the city-state. It will Singapore the opportunity to have a business centre and a resort - a really city resort combination. Singapore can find a niche where you can be doing business in the daytime and within half an hour transform into a resort.

Once the government give the go-ahead for the project, architects say they hope to be part of the design team and contribute to what may well be the country’s next key landmark that will blend in with all the tall buildings in land-scarce Singapore.

US casino operator Harrah’s Entertainment revealed that it has hired Daniel Libeskind as the main architect. Australia’s Tabcorp has its trump card in Arata Isozaki, the architect best known for building the Museum of Contemporary Arts in Los Angeles.
