Downtown East Singapore to be Redeveloped



Costa Sands Resort
NTUC Club, the entertainment arm of the Singapore National Trades Union Congress, has announced it would pour some US$160 million into revamping the Downtown East integrated complex in Pasir Ris over the next five years.

The Escape Theme Park, which ceased operations last November, will be demolished to make way for an expansion of the Wild Wild Wet theme park, while the overall area of Downtown East will increase from three to 3.8 hectares.

The project will also include a facelift for the 360-room Costa Sands Resort, which will gain an additional 40 rooms. Once completed, the resort will offer a mix of hotel-style rooms and one- and two-bedroom chalets.

A meeting and conference facility, featuring a multi-purpose hall with space for up to 3,000 pax, will also be constructed.

The revamp will be carried out in two stages, with the first stage starting in 4Q2012, and the entire project scheduled for completion in the second half of 2017.
