Westside City Project pushed back to 2024
SunTrust, Suncity Group’s subsidiary in the Philippines, has announced that the Westside City Project’s completion date will be no later than March 31, 2024.
The Philippines.- SunTrust has again pushed back the completion date of its new Manila casino. The company previously said it hoped to open the resort by 2023, but has now said the resort will open by March 31, 2024. The reason for the new delay was not explained, but the company has previously blamed the Covid-19 pandemic.
Suntrust signed a joint development agreement with Westside City Resorts World in October 2019, under which it agreed to fund the development and construction costs of the resort and will be appointed as the sole operator and manager of the operation.
The US$1bn project will include 400 gaming tables and 1,200 slot machines, 400 five-star hotel rooms and 960 parking spaces covering 44,000 square metres. Last year, the operator designated local construction giant Megawide as the main contractor for the basement, podium and tower of the main casino hotel.
