SINGAPORE: The Downtown East resort at Pasir Ris
will soon get a facelift.
The former Escape Theme Park, which closed last
year, will make way for a new resort.
The 24-year-old Costa Sands Resort will also be
replaced by a bigger and more exciting water theme park.
The redevelopment project will kick off end of this year, if resort
owner NTUC Club gets the go ahead.
It will take five years to complete, at a cost of about a hundred
million dollars.
But NTUC Club assures the public that admission charges will remain
affordable.
It announced on Thursday its expansion plans, as it gears up to
mark its 25th anniversary.
NTUC Club CEO Yeo Khee Leng said: "The aspirations have changed, we
are serving a much larger number of members.
"And I think people are looking at providing different kind of
experiences, so the new resort will take (that) into account, like
better rooms, more family type facilities."
