ONLY days after the NTUC Club pulled the plug on its planned resort at Sentosa, the site that was supposed to be used for the resort is already attracting other development ideas.
A new water-sports type of an attraction is being looked at to take up the prime real estate.
Sentosa Leisure Group chief executive officer Mike Barclay said he is keen to have an ‘attraction that offers safe water-play outside the sea’.
He added that it will preferably be a place where families can retreat to for activities during wet weather.
Last week, the recreational arm of the National Trades Union Congress said it was abandoning plans for the $45 million Palawan Beach resort because of spiralling construction and land costs.
The resort was supposed to be operational by the end of last year but when asked then, NTUC Club said plans for it were being reviewed. It was finally scrapped this year as ‘no longer viable’.
Landlord Sentosa, which will take back development of the 3ha site, is reviewing plans for the site, which is zoned for family and sports use.
