IAG DEC 2021年12月 亞博匯 14 MELCO UNVEILS STUDIO CITY PHASE 2 CONCEPT 新濠公佈新濠影滙 第二期設計概念圖 MELCO RESORTS & ENTERTAINMENT has unveiled its design concept for the Phase 2 development of Macau integrated resort Studio City. Coming at a cost of US$1.3 billion and due to open in December 2022, Studio City Phase 2 is designed by Zaha Hadid Architects – the same firm that designed Morpheus at City of Dreams Macau and co-designed Melco’s Yokohama integrated resort concept. The Studio City expansion is described as featuring a “modern interpretation of the rich detailing, bold geometries and craftsmanship of the Art Deco period” with non-gaming facilities including one of Asia’s largest indoor and outdoor water parks – which opened earlier this year – and a six-screen Cineplex comprising two regular houses and four VIP suites, as well as a state-of- the-art MICE space. “Studio City Phase 2 is a demonstration of Melco’s commitment to diversification,” said Melco Chairman and CEO Lawrence Ho in a speech delivered at Monday’s ceremony, which also saw David Sisk, Clarence Chung, Kevin Benning, Raymond Lo and other Melco executives in attendance. “99% of our US$1.3 billion investment is dedicated to non-gaming facilities. The new towers will house two new luxury hotels with almost 900 rooms to offer much- needed extra capacity for welcoming overnight-staying guests. And when it comes to entertainment, we have gone the extra 100 miles. In fact, Studio City will probably offer more entertainment options than all its Cotai competitors combined.” Measuring around 250,000 square meters in total gross floor area, Phase 2 will also boast an additional 2,300 square meters of gaming space, 21,000 square meters of retail, a children’s play zone for families and a new food street offering a selection of cuisines from Asia. 新濠博亞娛樂集團 日前公佈了其澳門綜合度假村新濠影滙第二期 的設計概念圖。 投資13億美元的新濠影滙第二期由著名國際建築事務所 Zaha Hadid Architects操刀設計，該事務所同時亦是澳門新濠天 地的摩珀斯酒店的設計者，並聯合設計了新濠的橫濱IR概念圖。 新濠影滙稱此次第二期項目「完美貫徹現有第一期項目以 『裝飾藝術』(Art Deco) 時期的豐富細節、大膽幾何形狀和精湛 工藝作現代詮釋。」第二期項目將帶來全新大型室內及室外水上 樂園（已於今年早些時候開放）、擁有六個銀幕的Cineplex電影 院（包括兩個傳統影院及四個豪華貴賓影院）及配備頂尖設施的 會議展覽場地。 新濠主席兼行政總裁何猷龍在平頂儀式上致辭時稱：「新濠 影滙第二期展現了新濠博亞娛樂對多元化的承諾。」 出席儀式的還包括David Sisk、鍾玉文、Kevin Benning、 盧敬恆等新濠博亚高管。 「我們13億美元的投資中有99%是非博彩設施。新塔樓將設 有兩間共提供900間客房和套房的高端酒店，迎接過夜的遊客。」 「在娛樂方面，我們又在進一步。事實上，新濠影滙提供的 娛樂選擇可能會比路氹所有競爭對手加起來還多。」 二期總建築面積約為250,000平方米，還將擁有額外2,300 平方米的娛樂場、逾21,000平方米的零售空間、一個家庭兒童遊 樂區和一條提供亞洲美食選擇的新美食街。
