We plan to bring this same magic to Singapore and develop an unparalleled venue for the world's leading retailers and restaurateurs."

"The opportunity to develop a unique entertainment retail experience with SIR on the Marina Bay IR project is exciting," said Sheldon Gordon, chairman, Gordon Group Holdings. "The goal will be to bring the finest retail brands, entertainment and dining to Marina Bay. Our experience and creative flair in casino retail, as demonstrated by The Forum Shops in Las Vegas and the Pier in Atlantic City, added to Taubman's accomplishments such as the phenomenal Short Hills Mall in New Jersey, can surely enhance Singapore's existing retail offerings."
