( Macao , July 16, 2012) – Sands China Ltd. has received an approval from the Macao S.A.R. government which will extend the company’s deadline for the completion of its project on “Parcel 3” of the Cotai Strip® until April 2016. The previous deadline for completion was April 2013.
An integrated resort on “Parcel 3” has always been a part of the company’s Cotai Strip development plan. The completion of this project will further accelerate Macao ’s rise toward becoming Asia’s leading leisure, business and entertainment destination, in line with both Sands China Ltd. Chairman Sheldon G. Adelson’s long-standing vision, and the government’s positioning of Macao as a “World Centre of Tourism and Leisure.”
The new integrated resort will target the mass-family market, and will feature family-oriented facilities, further contributing to the diversification of Macao ’s tourism offering. Design details for the property are currently being finalized and details will be revealed at an appropriate time in the future.
