The existing NagaWorld complex of Naga 1 and Naga 2 is reaching full capacity, with above 80% room occupancy prior to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic. NagaCorp Ltd. (“the “Company” and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) has decided to develop Naga 3 (costing US$3.5 billion), which will be situated a stone's throw away from the current premises. With the expected completion in 2029, Naga 3 will increase the capacity of the Group by at least two times. It is currently expected that the combined NagaWorld complex of Naga 1, Naga 2 and Naga 3 will have about 5,000 hotel rooms, 1,300 gaming tables and 4,500 electronic gaming machines and many other non-gaming attractions, and is expected to be one of the largest integrated entertainment complexes in the world. The Company believes that the launch of Naga 3 is not only timely, but also the answer to meet future demand and a surer way to continue the Group’s journey of earnings growth, especially after the recent successful ramping up of Naga 2.
The foundation and structural works for the basement floors of the Naga 3 Project have been broadly completed.
