Razon’s Bloombury Investments takes on gaming industry

Bloombury Investments Holdings Inc., a firm recently acquired by port king Enrique K. Razon Jr., is establishing a $557-million casino-resort complex at the Bagong Nayong Pilipino project in Parañaque City.

In a statement Wednesday, Bloombury said it started building Solaire in some 165,000 square meters of land in the complex known as Pagcor City.

"We are excited about this investment in the City. Aside from catapulting the Philippines into a key player in the tourism, hospitality and entertainment industries, the project will make Filipinos proud for having a world class leisure hub that will showcase the best that the country can offer," said Bloombury chairman Razon,.

Pagcor City, named after the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., is being groomed to compete with other leisure hubs in the region such as those in Macau, Malaysia, and Singapore.

Solaire signals Razon's first venture into the country's lucrative gaming industry.

Razon's core business is global port operation. He heads the Manila-based port giant International Container Terminal Services Inc.

Solaire is expected to open by the third quarter of 2012. Total investment for its development is $1 billion.

"Aside from attracting local and foreign visitors, the complex is expected to generate some 2,500 jobs and boost the country’s ancillary service sectors," Razon said.

Pagcor City is a multi-billion dollar government project that covers 120 hectares of prime reclaimed land at the western portion of the Manila Bay in Parañaque City.

It was designated by the Philippine Economic Zone Authority as a special economic zone, where investors are given tax perks.

Three other firms given licenses to develop the complex were retail conglomerate SM Investments Corp., listed property developer Alliance Global Inc. – a partner of Travellers International Hotel Group Inc. – and Japan’s Azure Group. —With MR Gavin/JE, GMANews.TV[/QUOTE]

Firm tapped to build Belle hotel, casino

LISTED REAL estate developer Belle Corp. has tapped Megawide Construction Corp. to build a P1.3-billion hotel casino in Parañaque City that will become the largest of its kind in the country, the contractor said in a statement yesterday.

Megawide Construction said it had begun laying the foundation for the project. It expects to complete the casino floor and one of two 15-storey hotel towers in 12 months.The construction is going on faster than the normal pace because of the methodologies [the company] is using, including the use of precast walls for the exterior and precast beams and girders which are also post-tensioned,” Megawide Construction said.The casino will be patterned after those operating in Las Vegas and will also incorporate Macau’s Venetian-type finishing, while the hotel will have a Planet Hollywood theme,” the construction firm said.
Megawide Construction earlier said it was planning to raise as much as P3 billion through an initial public offering in November to fund expansion plans that will allow it to cater to projects from the Ayala property and banking group.

Its client list also includes SM Development Corp., the property arm of the Henry Sy-led SM mall and banking group.

Belle Corp., which is controlled by the SM group, claims a niche in high-end residential and leisure properties in Tagaytay, Cavite and Batangas province.

Shares in the firm led by businessman Willy N. Ocier were unchanged at P1.86 apiece yesterday. -- Jessica Anne D. Hermosa

Does anyone know who's going to be it's contractor?

Impressive project

This thread isn't good. there are a lot of informations about Pagcot City here, but hardly nothing about the tower itself. at least add some informations in the first post.

who is the architect?
what are the costs?
what is it purpose?

is it just an observation tower or also a tv tower?
because, if it's just for observation, why does it need a 150 m spire?
:tiasd: ?

I distinctly remember a post a few months back saying something to that effect - the Pagcor Tower will also serve as a broadcast tower. In the age of digital cable and satellite TV, I'm baffled as to the purpose of putting a transmitter at that height.

I guess, building the Tower will be more of a bragging right for Filipinos; especially for building freaks like us! Hehe.

cheers Manila, i think it'll be soon, dont worry man

I agree,that this whole concept is FOS :toilet:

ok..so will pagcor tower push through?

This marks a 33-percent hike over the initial $15-billion cost that was announced when the project was unveiled in 2001. Under the original plan, the investments and project cost would be spread out over a 10-year period.

“The project is a shift [for Pagcor] from gaming into entertainment,” Genuino told reporters at the Asian Gaming and Entertainment Plus Leisure Expo Manila. “We will form a Las Vegas in the Philippines.”

The complex, also called Pagcor City, will be built in three phases on 800 hectares of reclaimed land. The first phase will host a hotel-resort and theme park. The next two phases will have retirement villages and entertainment centers.

any updates about the tower or even the whole project?3yrs had already passed..i don't think this tower's gonna be built sooner or later..

A tall tower so near an airport. I don't think so.

wew..could they come up with a better design?

i think they scrapped this gem???!!!!! the thrifty government..i thought this would be funded PPP?shame..shame..shame..

well even without the tower if they set manila eye's height to more than 165m which is the height of the singapore flyer we could have a world-famous landmark

i can't imagine pagcor city without the tower.

if they can't built it on that site because of NAIA, they should change the site. Pagcor Tower is the heart of the Pagcor city. In my opinion, the tower was supposed to be the major reason why people/tourist might want to go to the e-city.

I'm quite disappointed that they will stop building the tower. :|

its better to close this thread... mapapahiya pa lalo tayo nito..

updates folks?

You are looking at what could be the Future Manila Bay Skyline. The proposed PAGCOR tower is missing but the inclusion of the new Marina is a welcome addition. Now, let's hope all goes well with the PNOY government so he can order the green light for the Bagong Nayong Pilipino Entertainment City Manila with Solaire, Belle, Genting Berhad via Star Cruises, Aruze, Megaworld and SM Land. Exciting for the Philippines!

maybe when NAIA flights transfer to DMIA.. :yes: height restrictions there would be lifted.. ;)

^^Not as long as NAIA will still be a functioning airport. Which in the foreseeable future will be the case.

very great now we have this tall building..,,

Sir, that is the proposed Alphaland Bay City which is between SM Mall of Asia and Pagcor Entertainment City Manila.

I'm also requesting the moderators to changed the App status to Canceled because the Pagcor Tower has been canceled by the current Pagcor administration. Thank you
