Suntrust delays Manila hotel-casino opening again
The company had previously targeted an opening for late 2025.
The Philippines.- Suntrust Resort Holdings has announced that it expects to start operations at its casino hotel in Manila in the third quarter of 2026. The company had previously targeted late 2024 and then the fourth quarter of this year.
Developed by Philippine conglomerate Alliance Global Group, the project has an estimated cost of around US$1bn for the construction of a casino hotel complex with 400 gaming tables, 1,200 slot machines, 450 five-star hotel rooms and 960 parking spaces covering 44,000 square metres.
In a regulatory filing on Thursda, the company said it was in the process of reviewing plans and actual construction status which may impact its previous launch estimate of December 2025. As of March 31, construction of structural works and major facade systems up to roof level had been completed, the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing and fire protection systems in major plantrooms had been substantially completed and part of the system had commenced testing and commissioning.
When complete, the project will be the fifth integrated resort in and around Manila’s Entertainment City precinct, which is home to resorts such as City of Dreams Manila, Newport World Resorts, Okada Manila, and Solaire Resort & Casino.
