Ooops , sorry guys 88 floors lang pla sa Megamall daw according to Makati Prime /Wesunsled.:bash::bash::bash: Bahala na kayo kung paniwalaan nyo siya.:lol:
Sorry OT na ito.

88 floors.? Still high, imagine the Gram has 73 and 88 floors are truly more than 300 m. Anong Megamall? EDSA o ano?

mag antay antay nalang kayo sa lote ng mega a parking sa edsa katani ng One shang at shangrila parking, yung 3 towers ng bdo di pa nga nasisimulan ang aga niyo ng mag react

para sa hubad na katotohanan, @reyvil888, pumunta ka sa moa at itanong mo kong ilang ferris wheel ang gagawin nila at kong saan ang pinakamataas na gagawin(ans. SM cebu SRP), pangalawa,pagkatapos ng MOA ferris wheel ano ang gagawin nila? (answer: starcity ferris wheel)

pag mali ang sagot sayo it means nagsisinungaling ako,ang structural engineer(medyo kapayatan na tao), at mga manggagawa ng westech

at ito pa, pag hindi WESTECH ang gumagawa meaning nagiimbento lang ako, pero pag westech ang gumawa, nagmamagaling ka lang at para may masabi ka lang at higit sa lahat niinis ka dahil natalo ka sa info at mga scoop:lol:

Guys, when I broke the news that SM is planning to build a Ferris Wheel, I've given pieces of information which up to now, I'm not sure whether 100% correct or not. My apologies if some are incorrect. Here they are:

1. Ferris Wheel - they are now building it
2. Roller Coaster - this remains to be seen
3. SM bought the wheel from Japan - that's what I've been told of
4. Ferris Wheel construction/assembly to start in October - not sure if they really started in October
5. Ferris Wheel will be ready before Christmas - we have to wait a couple of weeks to see if this will be true
6. Ferris Wheel to comple a full rotation in 16 minutes - we'll see about this soon

I remember I have them all posted months ago. Thanks.

The project will be situated within the Entertainment City complex, being spearheaded by state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. “The [company’s] focus next year will go to Resorts World Bayshore,” Sian said.

I am excited for their upcoming announcement (Dec. 15, 2011 ? ) on Resorts World Bayshore's attraction. I hope there is a Theme Park on their magical list.

Andrew Tan-led firm allots $1.1B for Bayshore project

MANILA, Philippines - Travellers International Hotel Group is investing at least $1.1 billion in the 31-hectare Resorts World Bayshore in Entertainment City Manila, its second integrated tourism estate which is three times the size of Resorts World Manila.

Travellers International, a joint venture between property tycoon Andrew Tan’s listed investment holding firm Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI) and Genting Hong Kong Ltd., will start construction of Resorts World Bayshore by the end of the year, which is envisioned as a themed development and expected to create over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs.

You're right! It's not related, so can have your post deleted and transfer it to Grand Towers thread.

Yah im talking about the bagong nayon pilipino theme park that was formerly at the phil village hotel vicinity. I believe this theme park is still headed by charito planas and if memory serves me right, she was given some 200million to start the construction of the new park at the entertainment city.

that 200 million already earned huge interest at the bank, 2008 or 2009 pa kasi sa news yang project na yan. sana private sector na lang ang mag handle ng Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park...wala akong tiwala at wala akong kumpiyansa pag govt. ang mag handle nito :bash:

A contest was held for the best winning design of the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park, and it was the design of the University of Santo Tomas College of Architecture and Fine Arts students Jason Buensalido, 22 at the time, and Karen Cheung, 21 at the time, that were chosen.

The Buensalido website used to have the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park design, but the design can't be found at their website nowadays http://buensalidoarchitects.com/

Here's the link of an article I've posted here at Skyscrapercity in 2009 concerning the Buensalido interview --> http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?p=39543334

Here's an article done in 2002 ! --> http://www.travelsmart.net/article/104860/

you can see that the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park was conceived almost 10 years ago !! It's very surprising why thay haven't done anything yet and it will be 2012 soon ! :bash:

I thought the new park will be part of one of the 4 proponents project coverage... so separate pa yung land nya from the 4?

^^ Yes, THE Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park is separate from the 4 proponents but the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Theme Park is part of the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City or commonly known as Pagcor E-City

okay it's nearly 2012 now, whats happening to this project puro news and proposed concept :/

WOW. Mataas pala yung MOA Eye.

hello po...

Im new po sa thread nyo..

what if ung NAIA ay ilipat lanang sa Pampanga dun sa DMIA.
then ung NAIA ngayon ay for Future developments nalang. Di na kailangan ng Reclaimation, Malapad pa yung area.. Just like sa ginawa nila sa Iloilo City. ung Old Airport ng Iloilo ngayon dinedevelop ng Megaworld para gawing CBD ng Iloilo City...

im just 18 years old. please tell me kung mali iniisip ko kasi nag lelearn palang po ako.. :))
thanks!!

NAIA 3 not fully operational to its full capacity then lilipat na ng airport?
What a waste of money. Lets use the airport we have built and use the funds and effort to solve some other problem we have in the country. Maybe in the future when we have worn out NAIA 3 maybe think of moving.

NAIA 3 is just a passenger terminal; our main problem is inadequate runways. No new runway was built with NAIA 3 as NAIA cannot accommodate another one. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

Why not gawing train stations (bullet/maglev) ang NAIA 3? :) it will be very big and beautiful station

^^ good idea but we dont have any money for that

Why not gawing train stations (bullet/maglev) ang NAIA 3? :) it will be very big and beautiful station

parang Main Station ng Manlev or Bullet train papuntang DMIA. so parang magiging Airport Terminal din ung NAIA pero ung paliparan is sa DMIA.. :) ..

ano kaya no??

That could be true. Guess I'm just venting.

But in recent news they were showing the planned upgrade for NAIA 1. They share the same runway, right? It seems that they are just trying to figure out to spend money. Either by moving the airport or upgrading the NAIA 1. They just spend so much money on NAIA 3. We need to use it first before we spend another Peso for airports. We have other problems we need to solve first.

akala ko naligaw ako ng thread. :lol:

Why not gawing train stations (bullet/maglev) ang NAIA 3? :) it will be very big and beautiful station

They should use NAIA 3 as the international terminal, at this time one runway is enough if thins improve then you can do what they did in HK & KL and build new airports out of the city with quick raillinks into the centre.

dapat sa naia1 gawin nalang sakayan ng bullet train ng puwede na magtayo ng mtataas ng building,tower at ferris wheel sa para gumanda skyline s manila bay hahaha

Mas maganda build a modern airport in DMIA and a fast rail system then demolish the whole NAIA plus the airbase then sell it for billions of dollar and make that land the next big thing in the world beat the BURJ al DUBAI, build regional offices of international companies and build leisure and residencial buildings...

Sarap pangarapin in 25 years magawa ito...

Kaso ang daming balakit na magyari ito... This are the ff.

- budget
- need to amend the law to let foreigner own fully own there company here in the philippines
- objections from the differnt stakeholders
- relocation of the airbase
- viability of removing the airport within the city
- reliability of transportation in and out of the city to the new DMIA

palitan nyo na ang title ng thread na ito. gawin nyong NAIA Terminal 1, 2, and 3

:bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash::bash:

what the...akala ko ang dami ng updates sa thread na ito, eh panay tsismisan pala dito na walang kinalaman sa Pagcor city...sus, next year na ako bibisita dito...

This forum is addicting hard to keep away... :lol:

^^

Haha.. Sorry po. ako yata may kasalanan bakit nag out of the topic. Haha. :)))
Iniisip ko lang naman na ilipat ung airport para pwede na magpatayo ng super High Rise Building sa Pagcor.. :)))

Pagcor to ensure ‘world-class’ Entertainment City

Independent firm to certify firms’ compliance

By: Daxim L. Lucas (http://business.inquirer.net/byline/daxim-l-lucas)
Philippine Daily Inquirer (http://business.inquirer.net/source/philippine-daily-inquirer)
9:49 pm | Monday, December 5th, 2011


On Monday, the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) announced that it would appoint an independent consulting firm “to certify and ensure” that all four licensees in the multibillion-dollar development would “adhere to the minimum standards” mandated by the gaming regulator.
Pagcor did not disclose which third-party assessor it would choose but said in a statement that this decision was given the green light by its board of directors recently.
Pagcor chairman and CEO Cristino L. Naguiat Jr. said his agency—which acts as both an operator of casinos and a regulator of the local gaming industry—made the move to stress the minimum standards required to operate integrated resorts in the Entertainment City Manila.

*sigh* bad trip wala ngang announcement hanggang ngayon ito pa naman ang isa sa pinaka-inaabangan ko...i just hope they wont delay this much further as its thier loss too, when the two casinos are up they would be hard pressed to attract patrons....on the other hand they may have something up thier sleeve that could make thier project "different or more interesting and competative" thats why maybe they dont mind being late in the game...anyway hope for the best, cross our fingers that they would start thier project ASAP....

buti pa ang sm nagpress release na naman sila about the planned radisson blu hotel @ moa. :)

ALLIANCE Global Group Inc. is hiking its tourism investments on expectations its recurring earnings for the year will grow by more than a third.

On the sidelines of the company’s annual stockholders’ meeting, Kingson Sian, AGI president, told reporters the company’s recurring net income may grow by 35 percent this year. Its profit attributable to shareholders rose 44 percent to P6.9 billion in 2010.

“So far we’re on track to even exceed that. We’re really in good shape so far. All companies are doing well and tracking their projections,” Sian said.

AGI’s net income attributable to shareholders grew 28 percent to P4.72 billion in the first half of this year, excluding the P3.3 billion gain from the acquisition of Global-Estate Resorts Inc.

AGI’s total investment in Resorts World Manila, the country’s first integrated tourism estate, may balloon to $1 billion in the next five years from the $650 million so far plunked into the business.

During that time, AGI, through Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., will add four more hotels, consisting of two five-star hotels and two budget hotels Belmont and Savoy. The new hotels will raise its aggregate room count to over 2,800 to accommodate 600,000 local and foreign visitors.

Travellers’ existing hotels in Resorts World Manila are also undergoing expansion. The six-star Maxims Tower will add 50 to 60 super-sized suites designed for “super VIPs,” while the five-star Marriot Hotel will add no more than 100 rooms.

By next month, Resorts World Manila will host a total of 1,226 hotel rooms with the opening of the 712-room Remington Hotel.

“The mere fact that we’re expanding, it means occupancy is good,” said Sian, adding that the company’s hotels enjoy an 85 percent occupancy rate.

AGI may also invest a minimum of $1 billion in its second integrated tourism estate, Resorts World Bayshore in the Entertainment City. By the end of the year, the company will come up with its master plan for the 31-hectare property, which is three times the size of its counterpart in Newport City.

Hotel operations contribute about 10 percent to Travellers’ revenues and its contribution is expected to double this year. Gaming operations, which account for 90 percent of the revenues, will enjoy a double-digit growth.

“Majority [of the revenues] is in gaming, but it will balance off because we’re building other components aggressively,” said Sian.

During its first year of operations, Resorts World Manila attracted two million visitors, both residents and non-residents. With the opening of new attractions, the development is on track to more than double that to at least five million visits.

At present, 60 percent of the visitors are residents, but the ratio is expected to reverse once the facilities are completed.

On top of its investments through Travellers, its new subsidiary GERI launched Boracay Newcoast, a P15-billion development that will offer at least 2,500 new hotel rooms.

With regards AGI’s other business units, Sian said Emperador Distillers Inc. may exceed last year’s record earnings of P1.7 billion, driven by new products and the strong sales of The Bar and Emperador Light.

Golden Arches Development Corp., the franchise holder for the McDonald’s brand in the Philippines, expects to end the year with a total of 310 stores. It will open another 25 to 30 branches next year as part of its plan to grow the brand aggressively.

AGI shares fell to P10.14 on Tuesday from P10.44 each on Monday.

Resorts World Bayshore City (Parañaque City)

A fourth site, Resorts World Bayshore City in Pagcor Entertainment City along Manila Bay, is on the planning stages. The Resorts World franchise in Manila operates through Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., a joint venture between Genting Hong Kong and Andrew Tan’s Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI)

Resorts World Bayshore in Pagcor Entertainment City, its next major project, which is three times bigger than Newport City in terms of land area. In this Newport City complex, the investment is likewise expected to hit $1 billion within the next five years.
Project will start by next year, Resorts World Bayshore would open to the public two to three years down the road.
Travellers International is set to embark soon on a larger integrated tourism estate called Resorts World Bayshore City. It is envisioned as a themed development with about 2,500 hotel rooms, along with leisure, retail and entertainment facilities. Given its scale, Resorts World Bayshore City is expected to create over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs.

We’re doing the planning right now in Bayshore,” Sian said, noting that as the project will start by next year, Resorts World Bayshore would open to the public two to three years down the road.

“There’s going to be more open space, more amenities and retail space will be bigger. We’re building another theater. There are a few more things we want to put there which we can’t put here [in Newport City] because of lack of space,” Sian said.

Sands expands to Vietnam

HO CHI MINH CITY, 20 December 2011: Las Vegas Sands Corporation plans to build an US$2 billion tourism complex in Vietnam’s commercial capital Ho Chi Minh City.

Las Vegas Sands’ chief executive officer, Sheldon Adelson, revealed his plans at a meeting with Ho Chi Minh City’s Party Committee secretary, Le Thanh Hai, earlier this month.

The project will be on a similar scale to Marina Bay Sands resort also owned byLas Vegas Sands Corporation in Singapore. It will give Vietnam its first mega casino, hotels, restaurants, exhibition hall, shopping centre, spa, threatres and even so-called museums.

“Vietnam has great potential …for entertainment complexes to attract visitors to develop the country for international conferences, trade fairs and exhibitions,” the casino tycoon said.

Mr Adelson added: “ Once the project is completed, it will become a symbol for the city like Marina Bay Sands in Singapore.”

A party committee secretary added that everyone hoped it would “turn the city into the biggest economic hub and a gateway to Southeast Asia.”

Las Vegas Sands Corporation is one of the most successful casino operators worldwide. Most of its profits are earned through gambling, but it uses a clever public relations strategy that presents its operations as integrated resorts for the entire family.

The arrival of major casino will change the face of Ho Chi Minh City and there will be concerns in certain quarters, particularly within the strong Christian community, that it will have a detrimental impact in the long-run on family values.

The company’s announcement did not give a firm timetable on the project but usually they take three to five years to open.

For January to November this year, there were 3.1 million tourist arrivals to the city, up 8.4% against the same period last year, and generating VND44.3 trillion in tourism revenue.

In November alone, tourist arrivals reached 320,000 visits increasing 28% during the same month last year.

Of this, 78% came by air improving 20% while the balanced travelled overland from neighbouring countries or entered the country on cruise visits.

The top 10 supply countries are the United States, Japan, Australia, Taiwan, Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, France and Russia.

This year, the city targets 3.5 million international arrivals, up 12.90% from 3.1 million visits in 2010 and to generate VND49 trillion in tourism revenue increasing 19.51% from VND41 trillion.

Las Vegas Sands Corporation established in 1988 is an integrated resort company based in Paradise, Nevada in the United States.

The company is one of the leading global developers of casino-related properties. Its resorts feature high-end accommodations, gaming and entertainment, convention and exhibition facilities, celebrity chef restaurants and clubs, as well as an art and science museum in Singapore.

It has several resorts in US and Asia. Among its properties in US are two resorts on the Las Vegas Strip—The Venetian (Las Vegas) and the Palazzo. Also, there is the Sands Casino Resort Bethlehem located in Pennsylvania.

In Asia, the Marina Bay Sands located in Singapore is the most recent addition to the company’s portfolio.

Through its majority-owned subsidiary Sands China Ltd, the company owns several properties in Macau including the Venetian Macao, the Plaza Macao, Four Seasons Hotel Macau, and the Four Seasons-branded apartments at the Sands Cotai Central development, as well as the Sands Macao on the Macao peninsula.

Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd.in Manila
December 29, 2011

Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd.
Packer and Ho may invest US$1-B in Manila casino

Australian billionaire James Packer and Lawrence Ho, son of Macau gambling mogul Stanley Ho, may invest at least US$1-B in a Manila casino project, the Philippine gambling regulator said.

“Discussions are still ongoing” with Melco Crown Entertainment Ltd. (NASDAQ:MPEL), the casino venture of Packer and Ho, said Cristino Naguiat, Chairman of the Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corp., the state-owned casino operator and regulator. “I think they’re serious.” Mr. Naguiat said in a September 2 interview in Shanghai, where he accompanied President Benigno Aquino on his 5-day state visit to China.

The Philippines awarded four licenses in Y’s 2008 and 2009 to operate casinos in a gambling and entertainment complex the government plans to build in Manila.

The Philippines is seeking to accelerate construction as bettors in Asia fuel casino growth in Singapore and Macau.

Casino gambling revenue in Macau was 4 times that of the Las Vegas Strip in Y 2010 and has grown 47% this year to 173-B Patacas (US$22-B).

Each Philippine licensee agreed to invest US$1-B over 5 yrs, Mr. Naguiat said. Three of the 4 that were given licenses in Y’s 2008 to 2009 were a venture between Genting Malaysia Bhd (OB:GENM) and Alliance Global Group Inc. Philippine property developer Belle Corp. and Philippine ports magnate Enrique Razon’s Bloombury Investments Holding Inc.

I got a feeling after reading that pdf file that universal does not have the necessary funds to start building.

2nd Resorts World complex planned

THE RESORTS arm of conglomerate Alliance Global Group, Inc.is looking to begin work at its second integrated tourism estate next year, a ranking official said yesterday.

“We plan to start next year. We’re still finalizing the plans. It’s a big property, you have to have several iterations,” Kingson U. Sian, president and chief operating officer of Alliance Global, in a briefing yesterday, referring to Resorts World Bayshore.

The complex was developed in partnership with Genting Hong Kong, Ltd.

“We have around 10 [hectares] here right now, but we’re expanding this. We will probably end up with around 12 hectares,” Mr. Sian said, noting that the additional two hectares owned by subsidiary Megaworld Corp., had already been secured.

Alliance to launch Manila Bay casino venture in 2012

LISTED Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI) is moving forward with plans to grow its tourism and gaming businesses, with a top official saying that the company will be ready to launch parts of the new casino complex in Entertainment City within the Manila Bay reclamation area by 2012.

The company is also expanding its hotel portfolio in its first casino joint venture, Resorts World Manila, with the construction of an additional four hotels in the next five years to end with seven hotels and 2,800 rooms.

Following the company’s stockholders meeting on Tuesday, AGI president Kingson Sian told reporters the company is finalizing details for its 31-hectare portion in Entertainment City which should be ready by the end of 2011.

“We will be ready to present the master plan. Then we will start launching the project next year,” Sian told reporters.

Entertainment City is being developed by three other business groups including those led by the Sy family  (Belle Corp.) and shipping tycoon  Enrique Razon Jr. (Bloombury Investments Holdings Inc.). Both Belle and Bloombury have already started to develop their respective sites.

AGI chairman Andrew Tan said in a statement the project aims to complement the company goal to become a leader in the Philippine tourism sector. “We have committed substantial resources to build up our capacity and be a major player in this sector,” he said on Tuesday.

Earnings of Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., the operator of Resorts World Manila and co-owned with Genting Hong Kong Ltd., have already overtaken AGI’s more traditional liquor and fast-food businesses through the McDonald’s franchise and Emperador Distillers Inc., respectively.

Travellers International is on track to reach over P6 billion in profits this year, or double earnings in 2010. This also puts it at par with AGI’s flagship property development unit Megaworld Corp., which is also projecting about P6 billion in net income for the full year, Sian said.

“We are going to grow at least 35 percent this year,” Sian said, referring to AGI’s projected recurring profits. The company booked P6.9 billion in net income last year, or a gain of 44 percent.

Added expansion moves are already being planned for Resorts World Manila with investments in the area seen to hit $1 billion in five years from the present $650 million, Sian noted.

The company executive reiterated plans to build the Philippines’ biggest ballroom facility to be completed through 2013.  Such expansion moves could boost daily visitors at Resorts World Manila to 30,000 visitors from the current 17,000 by 2013, he said.

Another growth area will come from recently acquired Global-Estate Resorts Inc. (GERI), which is developing mixed-use projects in Boracay and Tagaytay valued at P20 billion.  

AGI said in its annual report that GERI  is expected to contribute a “sizeable” portion to the group’s profits in four years.

AGI shares slid 2.87 percent to P10.14 each on Tuesday. Megaworld also declined 2.11 percent to P1.85 each while GERI was down 2.04 percent to P2.40 per share.

Guyz, tell me if this is a good News...

2012 seen as banner year for tourism, hotel sectors
By: Tessa R. Salazar
Philippine Daily Inquirer
7:21 pm | Friday, December 23rd, 2011


What would be on the up-and-up the coming year? Inquirer Property continues the fearless forecast of the real estate industry for 2012:

Ø Emerging trends will spring up from various sources in 2012, fueled in great part by Internet marketing. Property analysts also see pocket developments in new central business districts, while competition will shift to the home-buying experience, which, says Enrique Soriano, professor at the Ateneo Graduate School of Business and senior adviser at Wong+Bernstein Business Advisory, would revolve around hybrid residential-cum-leisure projects. Soriano adds that locations most likely to “break out” and make themselves known would be Alabang, Laguna and Cebu.

Ø Condos will continue to lord it over in cities and emerging growth centers. Condominiums in cities would gain on subdivisions and related housing developments in 2012. Soriano says this particular asset class will likely to be sustained in 2012. Aside from the NCR and Cebu, specific locations in the country where condos would most likely to gain a dominant foothold over housing would be emerging CBDs and regional growth centers such as Davao, Iloilo, Bacolod and Cagayan De Oro. Top leisure destinations would still be Boracay and Baguio.

Ø It would also be the office sector’s banner year. Rick Santos, chair and CEO of CBRE Philippines, and Victor Asuncion, executive director for Global Research & Consultancy, say expansion of business process outsourcing companies, shared services, and call centers would continue as economies tighten in the West (United States and Europe). They also add the expansion of BPOs in the North (such as Clark and Subic); opening of the first precertified LEED Gold for Core & Shell Building in Makati—The Zuellig Building; and the synergistic relation of Bonifacio Global City and Makati in the office sector in the next two years.

Ø More tourism-oriented developments to rise in 2012. Paul Vincent Chua, associate director for valuation and advisory services and head of consultancy and research of Colliers International, says: “We will see a lot more tourism-oriented developments as we strive to enhance the beauty of the Philippines on the international scene and get more tourists to visit us.”

Chua says major developers and investors are now studying the impact of the country’s international presence through improved marketing efforts of the Department of Tourism, and recently the inclusion of Palawan’s Underground River as one of the Seven Wonders of Nature would also showcase the Philippine’s other natural beauty.

Related to tourism would be the gaming business, and as evidenced by the success of Resorts World, there would be more such establishments, Chua foresees, once Pagcor’s Entertainment City gives rise to more world-class hotels and casinos.

“What is critical now is how the government will answer the growing concerns on the public-private partnerships (PPPs), particularly in the infrastructure and transport sector, which are equally important in tourism. We also need to rectify quickly the concerns on our international airport, which is still rated as one of the worst in the world. In a related issue would be the problem of international carriers leaving the country as one of its hubs in Asia. This would mean additional costs to both tourists and locals who are also traveling to other parts of the world,” Chua says.

Ø Hotel and leisure sector will be dynamic in 2012. The expected growth in tourist arrivals, and with the advent of the gaming sector in the country, growth in hotels and leisure establishments would naturally follow, according to Santos and Asuncion.

CBRE observed that major developments sprouting in the Bay Area such Pagcor City and Belle Grande Casino Resorts Manila have added significantly more investments in the gaming industry. The continued growth of the office sector has prompted new branded hotel projects such as Shangri-La at Bomifacio Global City, the Grand Hyatt and Fairmont Hotel.

Investments and developments in serviced apartments have been spurred by the increase in medium-term staying business travelers such as BPO (business process outsourcing) trainers and consultants

Tourism to prosper in 2012

The expansion of the tourism sector will also be seen in Cebu and the Visayas region as more residential and office developments begin, driven primarily by the BPO expansion in the region.

The expansion of the liberalized airline industry signals more foreign carriers to come in. Air Asia, for example has provided cheaper alternatives for international travel to local tourists.

The continued increase of foreign tourist arrivals, coupled with growth in domestic tourists traveling across the archipelago, has triggered new hotel developments in key tourist destinations. This trend will continue in 2012, with certain prime locations to enjoy more prominence, such as Boracay, Cebu, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, Palawan, Clark and Subic.

Foreign investments into medical facilities will also bode well for the emergence of the Philippines as a major medical tourism destination. Upgrading and expansion of tertiary hospitals provide options and alternatives to medical tourists as well as returning retirees like balikbayans.

Ø Live-work-play projects will continually prosper in Metro Manila and other expanding cities. Chua says there will be more mixed-use developments as a key strategy for developers, as this will maximize the returns on a large plot of land.

“This would mean a continued focus on the live-work-play concept started by Megaworld, particularly in Metro Manila and other highly urbanized cities. We also saw successful launches of condominiums in Visayas and Mindanao by Ayala Land’s Avida, which will continue in 2012. Related to mixed-use developments are retail developments. In Metro Manila, we saw a lot of vertical developments with retail podiums on the ground floor. However, since super regional and regional malls have about 99-percent occupancy rate in Metro Manila, we will see more expansion geographically,” Chua explains.

Ø CBRE Philippines also predicts the high-end residential sector to become more popular in 2012.

Ø Growth of mid-income residential developments in 2012. Santos and Asuncion observed that young urban dwellers and start-up families have fueled the growth and expansion of middle-income vertical subdivision developments (i.e. condominiums) across Metro Manila with concentration on the peripheries of business districts. This trend would most likely continue in 2012.

Ø Continued demand in retail sector in 2012. CBRE Philippines sees the following to continue in 2012:

Retail expansion for neighborhood centers, supermarkets, hypermarkets and malls to continue across the country with new retail developments from Ayala Land, SM Prime, Robinsons Retail, Puregold Price Club, Rustan’s and Waltermart about to become operational.

Increased expenditure for dine-outs, or food consumed outside home, would fuel the expansion of fast-food chains, retail kiosks as well as beverage shops such as coffee, milk tea and frozen yoghurt.

More industrial and logistics interests in the Philippines in 2012, as wages in China go up, and in the aftermath of the Thailand floods. Such developments have caused more manufacturing plants and facilities to relocate and open in the Philippines. CBRE Philippines says these indicators in 2011 portend continued growth in 2012.

Universal Entertainment Corp. to Develop Philippines Casino

Universal Entertainment Corp. has announced it is to invest $2.3 billion in a huge casino project in the Philippines. Universal is the largest shareholder in Wynn Resorts Ltd and is already based in Tokyo - ideally situated to monitor the development of the casino industry in Asia.


Universal is first and foremost a a maker of Pachinko games, the vertical pinball-type game that dominates much of Japanese gaming. The Manila project will be part of an expansion in the region which will see Universal raise funds through an initial public offering (IPO) sometime after the first phase of the casino project is completed, sometime in 2012. Poker , Blackjack and Roulette will soon be on the cards


As for the Philippines, it is pursuing a moderately aggressive strategy in attempting to attract casino businesses to the country. Companies which build integrated resorts which include non-gambling branches (hotels, shopping, etc) will be exempt from paying corporate tax on those businesses for four years, while the fifth year will be discounted. Macau is the obvious regional competition and the Philippines has set it's gaming tax at a lower level than the former Portuguese territory. The Philippine government would love to tempt some of the Chinese tourists away from Macau and the opening of big casino resorts will surely help; Philippine businessman Andrew Tan and Genting Hong Kong Ltd. opened their $700 million Resorts World Manila in August.


The Universal project's first phase should begin construction on the 40 hectare site in October 2011 and the first areas to be developed will include a casino, a hotel and an aquarium. Ultimately, the casino is trying to tempt some of the Chinese high rollers to sample the delights of Manila, a glimpse into a culture they may not experience in Macau.

Futuristic underwater hotel resort for Philippines

Developers are about to build a giant underwater resort off the coast of the Philippines, according to a report in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Singapore-based financier Paul Moñozca is heading a group of international investors planning to start a futuristic underwater resort off the island of Palawan.

The project, dubbed “Last Frontier Resort,” is expected to bring in a total of US $1 billion in investments spread across a 10-year period and is worthy of our Top 10 hotels of the future feature.

“The blue print encompasses a strict adherence to protect the environment and the biodiversity of Palawan,” the group said in a statement.

“Groups of scientists from the Philippines and around the globe are part of the project’s protective strategy especially focused on its long stretches of coral reefs which have previously encountered illegal dynamite and cyanide fishing,” it added.

In the planning stage since last year, the investors have identified a group of islands in the Calamianes cluster as the site for development.

According to the paper, the first phase calls for semi-submersible units called Sea Spiders, which will be built by a US firm that specialises in submarines, to serve as observation decks, each spider catering to 30 tourists.

The second phase of the project will include a 100-room underwater hotel in partnership with a high-end boutique hotel brand spread over a cluster of seven islands.

Suite-size rooms will have a 270-degree view of the ocean underwater with 20-to 40-meter visibility. These rooms will be connected by underwater corridors. A further 85 rooms will be built on another cluster of seven islands.

Developers expect the project to be completed by 2013

Futuristic underwater hotel resort for Philippines

Developers are about to build a giant underwater resort off the coast of the Philippines, according to a report in the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

Singapore-based financier Paul Moñozca is heading a group of international investors planning to start a futuristic underwater resort off the island of Palawan.

The project, dubbed “Last Frontier Resort,” is expected to bring in a total of US $1 billion in investments spread across a 10-year period and is worthy of our Top 10 hotels of the future feature.

“The blue print encompasses a strict adherence to protect the environment and the biodiversity of Palawan,” the group said in a statement.

Genting to build 2nd casino
Tweet

by Jenniffer B. Austria

Star Cruises Ltd. of Genting Malaysia Bhd., co-operator of the country’s largest casino, and local partner Alliance Global Group Inc. plan to start building their second gambling resort in Pasay City next year to meet demand.

“We are confident that there is a market,” Alliance president Kingson Sian told reporters Thursday. The second project, called Resorts World Bayshore, follows the existing Resorts World.

Genting and Alliance’s venture, Travellers International Hotel Group, will build a 31-hectare gaming complex in Pasay City after winning one of four casino operator licenses the Philippines issued in 2008 and 2009. Belle Corp., Bloomberry Investments Holding Inc. and Japan’s Universal Entertainment Corp. are also building casinos under the licenses.

“We have to make sure that Bayshore won’t cannibalize what we have at Resorts World,” Sian said.

Travellers plans to expand its existing 10-hectare Resorts World and may buy two hectares of property after estimated foot traffic more than doubled to between 18,000 to 20,000 visitors a day this year, Sian said. Resorts World visitors will probably more than double to 5 million in 2011 from 2 million last year, the company estimates.

Alliance and unit Megaworld Corp. expect to post record profit this year, Sian said.

Sian said Travellers would acquire the two-hectare property from sister company Megaworld Corp. He said the acquisition would enable Travellers to put up more shopping, entertainment and gaming areas within the area.

About 15,000 of the 18,000 visitors in Resorts World Manila are casino players. Sian expects the number to increase to 35,000 to 40,000 a day toward the end of 2012.

He said the company had started offering 24-hour cinema and would soon have a 24-hour shopping for customers. It is also building a huge gaming arcade that will attract families.

The company is building the country’s largest ballroom with capacity of 2,500 people and putting up new hotels within the area.

Bayshore Manila will be the company’s second integrated tourism estate. It is three times the size of Resorts World Manila.

Travellers International has committed to invest $1.1 billion to develop the property.

Alliance Global is one of the biggest conglomerates in the Philippines, with interests in the food and beverage industry, property development and quick service restaurant operations.

Star Cruises is the leading cruise line in the Asia-Pacific. Its main business activities include leisure and entertainment under Genting Malaysia, a private company incorporated in 1980.

Guys, I've found this while browsing on the net. Not sure if it's legit !!!

so the render posted from the previous page is the Resorts World Bayshore City?

Resorts World Bayshore City (Parañaque City)

A fourth site, Resorts World Bayshore City in Pagcor Entertainment City along Manila Bay, is on the planning stages. The Resorts World franchise in Manila operates through Travellers International Hotel Group Inc., a joint venture between Genting Hong Kong and Andrew Tan’s Alliance Global Group Inc. (AGI)

Resorts World Bayshore in Pagcor Entertainment City, its next major project, which is three times bigger than Newport City in terms of land area. In this Newport City complex, the investment is likewise expected to hit $1 billion within the next five years.
Project will start by next year, Resorts World Bayshore would open to the public two to three years down the road.
Travellers International is set to embark soon on a larger integrated tourism estate called Resorts World Bayshore City. It is envisioned as a themed development with about 2,500 hotel rooms, along with leisure, retail and entertainment facilities. Given its scale, Resorts World Bayshore City is expected to create over 100,000 direct and indirect jobs.

We’re doing the planning right now in Bayshore,” Sian said, noting that as the project will start by next year, Resorts World Bayshore would open to the public two to three years down the road.

“There’s going to be more open space, more amenities and retail space will be bigger. We’re building another theater. There are a few more things we want to put there which we can’t put here [in Newport City] because of lack of space,” Sian said.

Masterplanning, Manual Rendering, Sketches and Studies.

The Manila Bay IR is an integrated theme park. The distinct character is set next to a canal and the sea with a charmingly unique style of lifestyle opportunities. The repertoire includes a myriad of shopping, dining, entertainment in a linear pedestrian street besides the canal. On the seafront, there is the charismatic sea-fronting hotel supported by its waterfront private villas complete with its own gondola, more shopping and dining, a yacht club and an international cruise terminal.

Spanish inspired architecture is drawn on in this masterplan. Typical character-defining features of the style are low-pitched hipped roofs covered in arched red clay tile, stucco wall planes, either smooth or roughly textured, carved brackets, arcaded porches and arched door and window openings, commonly infilled with wrought iron grilles. Balconies and other elements made of cast iron, exterior ornament including ornate doors and enriched door surrounds often mimicking stone are also typical.

The linearity of the canal is broken up into various nodes. The entrance plaza beckons those from the main road into the pedestrian only walkway. The walkway is then defined into various nodes from the East Mall, Theme Park main entrance, West Mall and the Civic Plaza at the canal terminus. From here it further extends to the waterfront through the Waterfront Promenade.

As Florida ponders revisions to casino bill, Genting builds second Filipino casino
Peter Amsel
January 4, 2012

When Florida state Sen. Ellyn Bogdanoff and Rep. Erik Fresen introduced their destination resort casino bill in October, Bogdanofff suggested the text would go through so many revisions before passage that the final version “would look like my dog chewed on it.” Following a series of workshops, Bogdanoff has sent a revised draft to legislators that could lead to the state’s racetracks and jai-alai frontons becoming fully-fledged casinos. If such operations were willing to invest $100m to improve their facilities, they would earn the right to offer lucrative table games in addition to slots. The bill would also explicitly outlaw the estimated 1,000 so-called ‘internet cafes’ operating across the state. The Senate Regulated Industries Committee will consider Bogdanoff’s revisions once the new legislative session commences on Jan. 10.

Significant taxation changes are also being proposed. The original draft called for the new resort casinos to pay a 10% tax on slot machine revenues, which compared unfavorably with the 35% rate currently paid by racetracks and frontons that also operate slots. The new legislation would see all slot operators pay the same 18% tax. But lobbyists for the major Nevada casino companies, which would be required to invest a minimum of $2b in any Florida project, have publicly stated that any tax above 10% would prevent their clients from recouping their outlay. Bogdanoff has therefore declared that if the proposed 18% tax “discourages the Vegas boys from coming and bidding, I’m not going to do it.”

The Nevada boys aren’t the only ones hungrily eyeing a possible Florida resort casino business. Malaysian conglomerate Genting have been among the most ardent suitors for one of the three casino licenses potentially up for grabs. But while Genting waits for Florida’s legislators to make up their minds, the company is plowing ahead with plans to build a second casino in the Philippines. The company already operates Resorts World Manila in conjunction with its local partner Alliance Global Group Inc., and attendance at that casino is expected to increase to 5m this year from 2m in 2011. The new Resorts World Bayshore in Pasay City will be a 31-hectare gaming complex – three times the size of Resorts World Manila. The joint venture partners are committed to spending $1.1b to develop the property. Alliance president Kingson Sian is “confident that there is a market” in Manila to support both operations, but the challenge will be to ensure that the new Bayshore operation won’t “cannibalize” revenues at its crosstown rival in Newport City.

Limited gains seen for Genting from new Manila casino
Saturday December 31, 2011


PETALING JAYA: Genting Bhd will likely see only limited gains from its affiliate Genting Hong Kong Ltd (GHK) after a news report that the latter would begin construction on a second casino in the Philippines next year.

Analysts said this was because the Genting Group owned less than 20% of Hong Kong-listed GHK via its subsidiary Genting Malaysia Bhd, so any earnings would be absorbed on an equity account basis.

GHK, formerly Star Cruises Ltd, is 57.5% owned by Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, the chairman of Genting Group and son of Genting founder Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong, while Genting Malaysia has a 18.4% interest, according to stock market data. GHK and its Philippine partner Alliance Global Group will reportedly start building their second gambling resort called Resorts World Bayshore next year following the success of Resorts World Manila, currently the country's largest casino.

GHK and Alliance are co-operators of the two resorts through their joint-venture, Travellers International Hotel Group.

On GHK's end, a local bank-backed analyst told StarBizWeek that the success of Resorts World Bayshore would hinge on the locals' appetite for new casinos as three others are being built in the same area, heightening competition. However, he added that the project could enjoy the spillover effects of being part of the government-led Entertainment City Manila development, an initiative to create a Las Vegas-like gaming and entertainment complex in the Philippines.

Resorts World Bayshore will measure almost 40ha and feature some 2,500 hotel rooms as well as leisure, retail, gaming, and entertainment facilities. Genting shares closed four sen higher at RM11, with three million shares changing hands.

kulang na lang mass transport system mula sa mga strategic points tulad ng naia.

Yes. First thing that came into my mind when I read that article was that they've intended it. In this part of the world, only us can claim such affinity to Spain.

^^ Correct! It's one of the most important ingredient of a Filipino that makes us uniquely Latin Asians. Without Madre España, and Hermano Mexico, walang Filipinas! (gumaganon :lol:)

Parang may nakita ako sa picture ng Plaza with unique monument (like Merlion) dun sa may waterfront?!

^^ magandang iconic monument pag ipersonify si Filipinas, siguro parang neoclassical style na statue of a filipina woman, wearing traditional filipiñana, maybe with a sword or some sort of symbolism, tapos may sea lion (sea lion of manila) below her, or naka pulupot sa pedestal niya. gawin mga 20 meters ang height. My imagination runs wild :lol:

Mukhang roller coaster yung The Galaxy , pro mas naka2 excite yung The Bulkan , cya kc yung centerpiece ng theme park.

I hope this is the real master plan development of manila intergrated resort.....Enchanted kingdom and star city is not enough, we need this :D

isang katanungan lang talaga ang lagi kong iniisip, ano ang gagawin nila sa malaking volume ng tao na pupunta sa bnp e-city, paano sila itra-transport mula sa airport, o mula sa iba pang lugar? ilang milyon ang projected na turista at idagdag pa ang mga empleyado, anong mga infrastructure ang inihahanda para sa maayos na daloy ng tao papasok at palabas ng complex?

Sana yung canal with gondolas ay connected sa Belle Grande!!! At saka sa canal sa MOA yung sa likod ng Microtel

Mukhang roller coaster yung The Galaxy , pro mas naka2 excite yung The Bulkan , cya kc yung centerpiece ng theme park.

Yes. That's pretty obvious. At The Bulkan, it seems that there'll be a castle.

Sana yung canal with gondolas ay connected sa Belle Grande!!! At saka sa canal sa MOA yung sa likod ng Microtel

From the render, I think there'll be boats in the canal. Also, I think, the Marina will be the docking area for Star Cruises.

ISANG TANONG LANG YAN AH :nuts::nuts::nuts:

well, hindi nman lahat mailalagay kinabukasan agad,,, may plan yan at hindi lahat pinapakita sa public at lahat ay subject for changes... dahil sa una itong mangyayari sa bansa, i think lahat ay dapat pag-isipan bago magproceed. if ganun nga...

Site Development Plan
Mukhang nagbago ng RROW and instead na maglagay ng mala-Golden gate bridge, underpass nalang...
at ung tower, wala na ata talaga un? -_-

I hope this is the real master plan development of manila intergrated resort.....Enchanted kingdom and star city is not enough, we need this :D
There's a big possibility this is the real one basing on the same architectural firm who did this and RW Sentosa , but I think the design of RW Bayshore is better.

yeah , the structure looks like a castle .

Ok........I've been following this thread since 2009 from Universal studios to Warner Bros. To this...I hope this is the real deal..I really liked the theming of it too and the volcano as a centerpiece or the core of the park.

There's a big possibility this is the real one basing on the same architectural firm who did this and RW Sentosa , but I think the design of RW Bayshore is better.

The first attraction at The Bulkan is the Central Village, then, the Castle.

Seems there are a lot of rides.

^^^^

i guess if they really want to attract all kinds of tourists then they should provide a variety of rides to make sure that their objective will be satisfied.

mga sagot ko base sa mga nabasa ko from this thread at iba pang info na nabasa ko sa net:


1. bakit may ganito ng renditions pero sa mismong website ang alliance,star cruise,genting hongkong...wala pa silang nirerelease?...

probably because it's not official, nanggaling sya sa personal portfolio website ng isang arkitektong pinoy na nagtratrabaho dati sa design firm na nagdesign sa rw sentosa. if you examine post #7134 of InfinitiFX45, he actually said, "Guys, I've found this while browsing on the net. Not sure if it's legit !!!"



2. diba isa sa major hotel nila yung hilton...bat wala pa ding details about this?...

baka wala pang detalye or kung meron man baka di pa naka-upload sa net kaya di pa ma-search sa google.


3.diba may nkasaad sa mga past statement nila na mayron dung iconic strucuture that symbolize the countries culture and heritage?...ano yun?...

imo if you will examine the image baka yun yung estatwa sa may marina, dun sa gitna ng bilog malapit sa dagat (according ito sa image na pinag-uusapan natin)


4.guyz diba ang provider or i mean ang warner bros. movieworld ang theme park...bat wala pa din release yung WB?...

speculation lang yung wb movieworld themepark at walang official statement regarding this. dati ang sabi universal studios pa nga.


5.ano yung architectural firm at construction company ang mangunguna sa pagawa ng RWBC?...

according to mapuan ce sa resorts world bayshore thread post #75, "yan ang old masterplan- hantayin nalang natin ang latest design by Casas+Architects." maraming ginawang project ang casas+architects para sa megaworld according to the website of this design firm: casasarchitects.com (http://www.casasarchitects.com/home.html).

6.alam ko na hindi nman ilalabas lahat ng developer lahat ng details about sa project na to...pero bakit ang nkalagay sa render ang name eh...MANILA BAY INTEGRATED CITY or RESORT na dapat ang nkalagay na is RWBC?...

this question has been answered above, refer to 1 and 5.

But I really hope this is the official!!! konting improve lang sa waterfront, the rest ok na. We badly need that huge theme park and that awesome casino-hotel and villas!!

hindi nga yan ang latest masterplan dahil part yan dun sa early stages ng conceptualization.. saka hindi din tama na mag labas ng mga architectural drawings lalo na at on going pa ang design at ipost sa internet. unless permitted ng architect.... dapat between architect and owner lang muna. kaya hintay nalang natin ang press release ng owner/developer.......

mga sagot ko base sa mga nabasa ko from this thread at iba pang info na nabasa ko sa net:


1. bakit may ganito ng renditions pero sa mismong website ang alliance,star cruise,genting hongkong...wala pa silang nirerelease?...

probably because it's not official, nanggaling sya sa personal portfolio website ng isang arkitektong pinoy na nagtratrabaho dati sa design firm na nagdesign sa rw sentosa. if you examine post #7134 of InfinitiFX45, he actually said, "Guys, I've found this while browsing on the net. Not sure if it's legit !!!"



2. diba isa sa major hotel nila yung hilton...bat wala pa ding details about this?...

baka wala pang detalye or kung meron man baka di pa naka-upload sa net kaya di pa ma-search sa google.


3.diba may nkasaad sa mga past statement nila na mayron dung iconic strucuture that symbolize the countries culture and heritage?...ano yun?...

imo if you will examine the image baka yun yung estatwa sa may marina, dun sa gitna ng bilog malapit sa dagat (according ito sa image na pinag-uusapan natin)


4.guyz diba ang provider or i mean ang warner bros. movieworld ang theme park...bat wala pa din release yung WB?...

thank you po...

i stumbled upon this pdf file while googling for solaire manila. it is not really about the project but about paul steelman's (ceo of steelman partners - the architects of the project) ideas on how to design a casino. there are some entries in this pdf file citing the solaire project. browsing the pages really tickled my imagination as to how solaire would look like when finished. :)

Ano kayang attraction ng Solaire? Pure casino lang yata to.

from the same pdf
http://img861.imageshack.us/img861/132/solaire.jpg

the design is too basic and simple...I'd still say the Solaire design was taken out of the 1960s period. After reading the pdf of architect steelman, I think he has some profitable points to ponder by designing simple rectangles divided into simple squares, I just hope there's a wow factor somewhere in the interiors of Solaire. Steelman argued that 'too much design' confuses people but in my opinion, the philippine buildings already have too much boxiness to the point of boredom. 'too much design' is grandiose and we desperately need it. there isn't a single grandiose design in our midst as of this moment, meron ba? I hope RWBayshore and Manila Bay Resorts would have this out-of-this-world designs.

i like the simple design,its so classy.

i like the simple design,its so classy.

just like the Wynn in Vegas..elegant, modern exterior. the wow factor is in the interiors and landscaping..

IMO , the facade is much better than any of the existing 5 star hotels in MM.The wave design (similar to Pacific Plaza Towers @ the Fort) makes it more exciting and classier than the soon to open Raffles Makati. Di lang gaanong pansinin bcoz its not that tall.

i like the simple design,its so classy.

I don't find it classy. Sorry. It looks like a modern warehouse and schoolbuilding to me. Far from catchy. DCRJ is right. It belongs to those which are simple and boring.

Hope the grandeur can be found inside.

Guys, I think this is bad news for the Philippines but good for South Korea

South Korea airport plans $3-B casino complex :ohno: :bash:

by AFP | Manila Times | Thursday | January 12, 2012

SEOUL: The operator of South Korea’s main airport plans to build a $3-billion casino resort to woo increasingly wealthy travelers from China and elsewhere in Asia, its spokeswoman said on Wednesday.
The Incheon International Airport Corp. is also mulling a bid for Edinburgh Airport as part of efforts to boost sources of income abroad, she told Agence France-Presse. The new resort, to be built near the airport 50 kilometers west of Seoul, would feature facilities such as a hotel, casinos, convention centers, shopping malls and hospitals, she said.

“We plan to develop the property like the resorts in Las Vegas or Macau,” she said, adding that negotiations to select a developer are underway.

The airport earns 65 percent of its revenue from hotels, duty-free sales and other services not directly linked to flying. Spending by Chinese and Japanese account for more than a quarter of duty-free sales.

I agree. I don't even think that Chinese are fond of South Korea. Also, the threat of North Korea's recent moves is a letdown to them. Even South Koreans are coming to SEA. Anyway, goodluck to SoKor.

oo nga naman..maraming advantages ang manila..unang-una yung location - all year-round tropical climate, walang winter - di lumalamig gaya ng China, Korea o Vegas ..tapos Bay area pa - malapit sa airport, shopping (MOA) at attractions (CCP, Baywalk, Intramuros, Corregidor etc). isa pa, ang pinoy marunong sa english saka laging may ngiti..

Pinakamalaking challenge lang nila ay security saka infrastructure - importante ang maayos na bus/rail connection sa airport - hanap lagi ng mga turista ang safety saka convenience una sa lahat. sana gawing master-planned parang BGC na safe maglakad-lakad kahit gabi. Imagine BGC o Makati na may waterfront/boardwalk at puno ng mid-rise resort hotels/casinos, shopping, dining, parks saka attractions at pedestrian friendly - siguradong world class at patok.

Sarap mangarap noh?! Sana ibenta na lang ng gobyerno ang manila. At sila ayala, shoemart, robinsons, megaworld na lang ang mag redevelop.

mas maayos nga kung built and managed by private companies, with the direction from the government, gaya ng BGC model..mas mabilis ang development saka maiiwasan ang corruption..

importante din may special zoning yung casino areas - with age restriction, kasi pang adults ang casinos, hindi pang bata..

yan ba yung ilalagay sa yellow area based from this picture? then iba pa yung bagong nayong filipino na theme park rin yata doon sa green area?

I just realized how big these casino lots are..Solaire alone is about the size of the entire BGC city center including BHS cenral, High Street, Serendra and Market!Market - over 20 some blocks! isang casino pa lang ubos ang ang lupa and waterfront - sayang. These are very large scale casinos! I'd rather have many different small to medium scale casinos about the size of regular city blocks than just one large scale casino occupying 20 blocks! not mention it would too boring and too large a scale for humans to appreciate.

uhmm.. they're not just bringing one casino in their complex... it is a complex of structures as what the agreeement with PAGCOR.... each complex should contain hotels and other entertainment features... the casino will just be one small part... so expect more than 1 building shall be built on each of their respective lands...

Wynn Vice Chairman Sues to See Accounts in Spending Dispute



Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Wynn Resorts Ltd. Vice Chairman Kazuo Okada sued the casino operator for access to financial records in a dispute with the company over the use of funds.

Okada, 69, sued in state court in Clark County, Nevada, to force the company to produce spending records. He is chairman of Universal Entertainment Corp., Wynn's biggest shareholder. Wynn Resorts said today that Okada was “removed” as vice chairman in October in a dispute over his development plans.

Okada opposed Wynn Resorts' HK$1 billion ($129 million) pledge in July 2011 to the University of Macau Development Foundation, according to the complaint. Universal, a Tokyo-based pachinko machine maker, owns a 20 percent stake in the Las Vegas-based operator of casino resorts. Kazuma Ishioka, a spokesman at Tokyo-based Universal, declined to comment.

Okada said in a related regulatory filing that he is seeking to protect his investments of $380 million in Wynn Resorts dating back to 2000.

According to the filings, on Nov. 2 Okada sought information regarding the university pledge, the use of $30 million invested in Wynn by one of his companies in April 2002 and an amendment to a stockholders agreement with Chairman and founder Stephen Wynn and ex-wife Elaine Wynn that followed the couple's divorce.

“Not only was the request summarily denied but, shockingly, Wynn Resorts asked for evidence that the $30 million investment had even occurred,” according to the filing.

Competing Project

Wynn Resorts said the dispute stemmed from Okada's decision to compete with the company by pursuing projects in the Philippines. Okada was removed as vice chairman after admonishments from the board over the plan, Wynn said today in an e-mailed statement. The company also claims Okada implied Wynn would participate “in projects that the company had made firm decisions to avoid.”

Okada's lawsuit “is preposterous and without merit. The company will defend it vigorously,” Wynn said. Capital contribution information is public, and Okada had the same information about charitable donations as other directors, the company said.

Okada, a Hong Kong resident and Japanese citizen, is one of Wynn Resorts' original investors. He is ranked the 26th-richest person in Japan in 2010, according to Forbes.

Casinos, Hotels

Universal Entertainment plans to make more money from operating casinos, Okada said in a Sept. 28 interview with Bloomberg News.

The maker of pinball-like machines used in pachinko parlors, where customers play for prizes that can be exchanged for cash, plans to open two casinos and three hotels in Manila, the Philippines, by December 2013 and will decide by 2015 whether to build more gambling venues in Asia.

Gamblers in Asia are fueling industry growth in Singapore and Macau, where casino revenue has more than tripled in the past four years. Casino revenue in Macau, the world's largest gambling hub, jumped 42 percent to 268 billion patacas ($33.5 billion) last year, according to data from Macau's Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau.

Wynn, owner of the namesake and Encore casinos, dropped 1.9 percent to $109.80 at the close New York. The shares gained 6.4 percent last year. Wynn Macau Ltd. fell 4.8 percent to HK$17.56 in Hong Kong.

The case is Kazuo Okada v. Wynn Resorts, Ltd., District Court of Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas).

^^^^

bad news? i'll keep my fingers crossed for its coming to fruition.:)

^^

US-based Wynn Resorts Ltd. owns the Wynn Macau and will compete with the Manila Bay Resorts owned by their partner (soon rival...LOL) Universal Entertainment. It was also the US-based Wynn Resorts Ltd. that had talks with Efraim Genuino back in 2008 discussing investments in Pagcor city but eventually backed out and 'made firm decisions to avoid' future investments . I don't care about their domestic problems but the construction of the Manila Bay Resorts must be fulfilled based on the already signed contract with Pagcor.

Hala, malabo na ata

yup and if they do back out.. PAGCOR will definitely charge Universal with a big penalty... and their original 1Billion (tama nga ba?) guarantee may not be withdrawn anymore..

^^^^

imo no worries pa din kasi there are other groups na gustong-gusto na makasingit dito sa e-city, ang ganda pa naman ng pwesto ng manila bay resorts, di ba nga balak pa nila magreclaim para sa iba pang projects? yun nga lang, sayang ang panahon.

I don't think they would backout. They have already invested on the land. Anyhow, b_two is right. There are willing investors to go with the plan. Resorts World might buy the land to enlarge their area. Just in case, sana.

I don't know how they will go about the area, obviously the place is still under construction and no obvious parking lots can be seen yet, no paved roads leading to its 'pavillion' and part of the paved road from Roxas Blvd is still blocked by concrete barriers. I should know, I pass Belle Grande everyday at Roxas Blvd, and Macapagal Blvd as well

Hi guys! went to the site earlier today and i must say i can't wait until Solaire and Belle Grande open. They are sooooo huge!

The biggest news though is the fact that construction has started in the area of resorts world bayshore. as posted by DCRJ days ago, it seems that Sta Elena construction has started the groundwork for it. you can see 5 tall cranes in the area near the sea part. it reminds me of how the site of solaire looked 10 months ago. What is interesting though is there are also cranes along the "river" part of the Bayshore site. I guess they are now in the process of fortifying the boundaries of the site in time for the major construction phase.

just so excited!

i have pictures but i don't know how to post. hope you guys can teach me! thanks!

i have pictures but i don't know how to post. hope you guys can teach me! thanks!

ok, I just read Sta Elena's website. I just discovered they specialized in road pavements and horizontal structurings etc. . good news. sir magmario, you can upload your photos at Photobucket.com and copy-paste the photo URL link here via the photo icon 'insert image' feature of skyscrapercity

Hi guys! went to the site earlier today and i must say i can't wait until Solaire and Belle Grande open. They are sooooo huge!

The biggest news though is the fact that construction has started in the area of resorts world bayshore. as posted by DCRJ days ago, it seems that Sta Elena construction has started the groundwork for it. you can see 5 tall cranes in the area near the sea part. it reminds me of how the site of solaire looked 10 months ago. What is interesting though is there are also cranes along the "river" part of the Bayshore site. I guess they are now in the process of fortifying the boundaries of the site in time for the major construction phase.

just so excited!

i have pictures but i don't know how to post. hope you guys can teach me! thanks!
I was also surprised with Solaire , the buildings currently underconstruction is so huge unlike in the render.

Belle’s $750-M Manila Bay complex on track
Monday, 23 January 2012 18:18 Miguel R. Camus / Reporter
E-mail Print PDF

PROPERTY developer Belle Corp. remains on track to open its $750-million gaming complex in the Manila Bay reclamation project early next year, with the builder recently celebrating the ceremonial completion of its six hotel towers-considered a key requirement by the state-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor).

Belle Vice Chairman Willy Ocier said the hotels would offer the equivalent of 828 hotel rooms, or above the 800-rooms Pagcor requires before allowing Belle and other developers to open their respective casino facilities.

“We just topped off on all six hotel towers of Belle Grande and Casino Resort,” Ocier said in a text message. “We will start doing piling works on our BGX Entertainment Complex before month-end.”

Oh, ok. Yung weird na Belle Diamant supposed to be. Hmmm. If that is the one, ano kaya yung apat na itlog? At least the dome would probably be a coliseum or something.

Japanese investor breaks ground at Bagong Nayong Pilipino
VICTOR EARL ROSERO, GMA News January 26, 2012 4:53pm

The fourth major investor in the Bagong Nayong Pilipino entertainment complex forged ahead with a $2-billion integrated resort project Thursday on a 45-hectare site at the Manila Bay Reclaimed Area, saying that the venture will create 15,000 jobs.

Japan-based Universal Entertainment Corp. noted its Manila Bay Resorts venture will become “the next major world-class entertainment, shopping and gaming destination in Asia.”

Its subsidiary, Tiger Resorts, Leisure and Entertainment Inc., said construction will commence next February while the formal opening is expected in the third quarter of 2014.

“The entertainment complex will have two luxury casino hotels hosting 450 and 600 rooms, respectively... A 1000-room budget hotel will also be put up within the resort, targeting to reach a wider market,” the resort developer said.

Speaking through an interpreter, Universal Entertainment chair Kazuo Okada said construction will start with the large-scale water fountain and then progress to the other components, including an indoor beach club encased under a huge glass dome. The complex will also have high-end fashion boutiques and outlet malls.

“Manila Bay Resorts seeks to attract business travelers and tourists from all over Asia especially the Chinese market,” according to Tiger Resorts. The tourism markets of Japan, South Korea, Singapore and Hong Kong were also eyed.

Attracting $5B in investments

Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) chair Cristino Naguiat Jr. said in an interview with reports the whole Bagong Nayong Pilipino complex will be up and running in 2014, noting the whole complex can “easily” attract at least $5 billion in investments.

The three other investors in Bagong Nayong Pilipino are Bloomberry Resorts and Hotels, Travelers International Hotel Group Inc., and Belle Corp. — all of which were signed up during the Arroyo administration.

Naguiat noted that Bloomberry and Belle Corp. are already halfway through their respective construction projects. He also said the Bagong Nayong Pilipino complex may have room for a fifth major project, in which new investors could collaborate with the four proponents now on board.

“PAGCOR is primed and ready to take on the challenge to position Manila to be one of the world's entertainment and gaming capitals. We assure our partners of full support, not only from PAGCOR, but also from other government agencies,” Naguiat said in his remarks during the groundbreaking ceremony.

“We look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with you. It's time to roll up our sleeves... We are very, very optimistic that this project will succeed because gaming and entertainment is more fun in the Philippines,” he added.

Impact on 400,000 lives

Director-general Lilia B. de Lima of the Philippine Economic Zone Authority (PEZA) said that Universal Entertainment is not a new investor and is familiar with the Philippines because it already operates in Laguna a slot machine production plant, which she said is poised to hire an additional 5,000 workers.

The Manila Bay Resorts' 15,000 jobs target plus the 5,000 from the 10-hectare expansion of the slot machine plant will likely create indirect employment for 80,000, De Lima noted.

Each Filipino wage earner supports an average of five persons, De Lima added, saying the impact of 80,000 direct and indirect employment will redound to the lives of at least 400,000.

She said the Japanese are the biggest investors in the country's 250 economic zones and are responsible for at least 40 percent of total projects. — VS, GMA News

Another 1,000-room budget hotel will be built within the resort to attract a wider market.

Manila Bay Resorts is part of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp.’s Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment Complex and is being developed by Tiger Resorts, Leisure and Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Universal Entertainment Corp. of Japan.

MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - Japanese arcade-game maker Universal Entertainment Corp. is in talks to get a local partner for its $2-billion gaming and entertainment complex in the Philippines capital Manila set to be completed in 2014, its chairman said on Thursday.

The local partner would operate the shopping establishments outside the main casino-hotel projects set to rise on a 45-hectare site along Manila Bay, said Kazuo Okada, also the biggest shareholder of Las Vegas-based Wynn Resorts Inc., after groundbreaking ceremonies for the project.

"The Philippines is a very attractive country to invest (in)," Okada told reporters, adding his group was "very confident" of pursuing the project after President Benigno Aquino was elected into office in 2010. Okada declined to give details about the talks for the partner.
