Bloomberry Resorts Corporation has officially opened its latest luxury development, the Solaire Resort North, in Quezon City on May 25.
During the formal opening of the second Solaire-branded leisure and entertainment property in Metro Manila, Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco on Saturday hailed that the IR project ‘marks a new era not only for the Philippine gaming industry but also for the tourism industry.’
‘This will definitely become a leisure and entertainment destination in this part of Metro Manila,’ Tengco said according to an official PAGCOR statement on the opening.
Situated on a 1.5-hectare site in Quezon City, the largest city of Metro Manila, and with 38 floors, Solaire Resort North involved a $1 billion investment. It is the first and only five-star integrated resort and casino to serve northern Metro Manila and adjacent provinces, according to PAGCOR.
The IR also offers four gaming levels for mass and VIPs across approximately 13,000 square meters.
For his part, Bloomberry Resorts Corporation Chairman and CEO Enrique Razon Jr. said Solaire Resort North aims to elevate the entertainment experience in Quezon City.
‘We hope to serve the burgeoning tourism demand north of Metro Manila and the nearby provinces that are enjoying rapid commercial and residential development. We hope to bolster economic activity in Quezon City by encouraging visitors, both Filipinos and foreigners, to explore and discover the city,’ he said.
‘We are bringing only the exceptional to Solaire North – from architecture, interiors, accommodation, gaming, cuisine, art, to entertainment’
Bloomberry has recorded impressive results in 2023, driven by the mass segment, with its consolidated net income increased by 85 percent to PHP9.5 billion ($170 million).
Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. and First Lady Liza Araneta-Marcos led the Solaire Resort North’s inauguration.
In his comments, the PAGCOR CEO commented that the public operator will continue to pursue projects like Solaire Resort North so that ‘more jobs and better opportunities’ are provided for Filipinos, especially those in the tourism and leisure industries.
