"Singapore needs to plan for and invest in our city so as to safeguard our position as a premier place for business and talent. With its waterfront location and availability of unencumbered land, the Downtown at Marina Bay can be Singapore's competitive advantage, providing the opportunity to develop a unique business and financial hub as a seamless extension to the existing CBD (Central Business District)."
Photo 1: Model of the Downtown at Marina Bay“The planning vision is to develop the area to provide prime office space for global business and financial institutions, complemented by a full range of residential, shopping, dining, and cultural and entertainment activities. Hence, the Downtown at Marina Bay will not be just a place for work but will be a business and financial hub that is integrated with quality housing and recreational and leisure facilities to provide a total live-work-play environment.” URA Vision Statement (2004)
So far, the progress has been very impressive:

Peter, is the Floating Bar & Restaurant really located in the middle of Marina Bay? Is it still there now?
It was never there in a physical sense and am not sure whether it would be there. It's ONLY A CONCEPTUAL It's an idea that came from the the Philippines' Subic Bay area.
