Sunrise Wellness: Marina Bay Jog/Walk

With land reclamation works starting only in the 1970s, the transformation of the area has been nothing short of a miracle. While you may be standing on dry land while visiting Marina Bay in the present, the district is just one of many areas created by Singapore’s extensive land reclamation efforts. Marina Bay itself is a freshwater reservoir that supplies Singapore with some of its drinking water. Marina Barrage, separating the bay from the ocean, was completed in 2008. Today, the bay is an upscale area of skyscrapers, posh hotels and luxury malls. It is known for the towering Singapore Flyer observation wheel and the flower conservatories and colourful Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay. Performances and cutting-edge art exhibitions are put on at the futuristic Esplanade Theatre.

 

Blake Olafson, Asia Capital Real Estate’s Managing Partner, and Leong Teng Wui, The Ascott Limited’s Chief Development Officer and Head of Projects and Technical Services at Capitaland’s Project Development Group, will lead two groups on a jog and walk around the bustling Bay area at sunrise, as delegates soak in the sights at the waterfront of a city that never sleeps.
