Development Projects
Macao
The Company operates gaming areas within the Macao Special Administrative Region (“Macao”), pursuant to a 10-year concession agreement (the “Concession”), which expires on December 31, 2032. As part of the Concession entered into by Venetian Macau Limited (“VML,” a subsidiary of Sands China Ltd. (“SCL”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Company) and the Macao government, VML has committed to invest, or cause to be invested, at least 35.84 billion patacas (approximately $4.44 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2026). Of this total, 33.39 billion patacas (approximately $4.14 billion at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2026) must be invested in non-gaming projects. These investments must be accomplished by December 2032.
For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company spent a total of approximately 5.80 billion patacas (approximately $718 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2026), on these projects. The annual amounts were reviewed and confirmed as qualified spend under the Concession by the Macao government following audits conducted in May 2025 and July 2024, with results issued in November 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Macao government conducts an annual audit to confirm qualified concession investments for the prior year. For the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company spent approximately 2.52 billion patacas (approximately $313 million at exchange rates in effect on March 31, 2026); however, as of the date of this filing, the audit process for the 2025 investments is in progress and the ultimate amount confirmed as qualified spend under the Concession may differ from the amount reported above based on the results of the audit.
Singapore
In April 2019, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Marina Bay Sands Pte. Ltd. (“MBS”) and the Singapore Tourism Board (“STB”) entered into a development agreement (the “Second Development Agreement”) pursuant to which MBS has agreed to construct a development (the “MBS Expansion Project”) on a land parcel adjacent to Marina Bay Sands. The MBS Expansion Project will include a hotel tower with luxury rooms and suites, a rooftop attraction, premium gaming areas, convention and meeting facilities and a state-of-the-art live entertainment arena with approximately 15,000 seats.
In January 2025, MBS entered into a second supplemental agreement to the Second Development Agreement with the Singapore government (the “Second Supplemental Agreement”) whereby MBS committed to assume liability for the cost of the land premium associated with (i) the additional 2,000 square meters of gaming area and 10,000 square meters of ancillary area in support of the gaming area (collectively, the “Additional Gaming Area”) and (ii) other adjustments to the land premiums resulting from the consequential changes to the allocations of gross floor area for the MBS Expansion Project since the first payment made in 2019 (the “Additional Gross Floor Area,” and collectively with the Additional Gaming Area, the “Additional Land Premium”).
The dates by which MBS has agreed with the Singapore government to commence and complete construction of the MBS Expansion Project pursuant to the Second Supplemental Agreement are July 8, 2025 and July 8, 2029, respectively. Construction works for the project commenced in May 2025. While the Company’s current estimate is that construction will be complete by June 2030 with an anticipated opening date in January 2031, any extension of the completion date beyond the July 8, 2029 deadline is subject to the approval of the Singapore government.
The Company’s estimated total project cost is approximately $8.0 billion, inclusive of financing fees and interest, and land premiums. The Company has incurred approximately $2.8 billion as of March 31, 2026, inclusive of the payment made in 2019 for the lease of the parcels of land underlying the MBS development project site and the payments of 1.13 billion Singapore dollars (“SGD”) (made in April 2025) and SGD 173 million (made in March 2026) (approximately $848 million and $137 million, respectively, at exchange rates in effect at the time of the payment) for the Additional Gaming Area and Additional Gross Floor Area, respectively.
