Las Vegas Sands has awarded a multi-billion-dollar construction contract to Singapore-based builder Woh Hup (Private) Limited for its Marina Bay Sands expansion project, according to a company press release issued on March 20th, 2026.
The contract was granted following a competitive tender process involving several regional construction firms and forms part of the group’s ongoing long-term investment in Singapore. Woh Hup will serve as the main contractor for the development of Las Vegas Sands’ next-generation ultra-luxury project, which is scheduled for completion in 2030 and is expected to open in 2031.
The company said the contractor was selected for its ‘strong technical capabilities, proven track record in complex projects, and depth in engineering and design management’.
Las Vegas Sands Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Dumont said the group is “pleased to work with a local company that has contributed to many of the nation’s iconic landmarks”, adding that the appointment reflects its commitment to partnering with established Singapore-based firms and supporting the broader economy.
Woh Hup Chairman Kim Yong said the company is “privileged to be appointed as the main contractor”, and will bring its “experience, innovation and passion for quality” to the project.
Founded in 1927, Woh Hup is one of Singapore’s largest privately owned construction and civil engineering companies. Over the decades, it has been involved in a number of high-profile developments, including Gardens by the Bay and Jewel Changi Airport, reflecting its longstanding presence in the country’s built environment.
According to the press release, construction is already underway, with up to 5,000 workers deployed on site around the clock.
The development, designed by Safdie Architects, will include a new luxury hotel tower featuring all-suite accommodations, alongside rooftop attractions and dining offerings. Plans also include retail space, gaming areas, wellness facilities, and approximately 200,000 square feet of premium meeting and event space. A 15,000-seat arena is expected to support large-scale live entertainment events in the region.
The announcement follows its recent 4Q25 results, which former CEO Rob Goldstein called “simply the greatest quarter in the history of casino hotels”, as the property delivered adjusted property EBITDA of $806 million.
In the earnings call, Patrick Dumont, then-President and COO of LVS, noted that “The record financial results at MBS reflect the impact of high-quality investment in market-leading products, world-class service, and the growth in high-value tourism.”
Golstein had furthered that “The question is: how much further can we go in the next two years?”
For FY25, the integrated resort generated S$2.64 billion ($1.95 billion) in annual business spending, with more than 90 percent directed to Singapore-based enterprises. The property also recorded over 36 million visitors and hosted more than 2,000 meetings, incentives, conferences, and exhibitions (MICE) events.
Las Vegas Sands said Marina Bay Sands contributed an estimated 1.2 percent to Singapore’s GDP in 2025.
