The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands clinched the “RLI International Shopping Center 2012” title in The Global RLI Awards 2012 held at The Natural History Museum in London last week.

Finalists under the same award category included the Morocco Mall in Casablanca, Westfield Stratford City in the UK, and the Varena Shopping Center in Austria.

Organized by Retail & Leisure International (RLI) magazine, the Global RLI Awards aim to recognize and reward the success and creativity of the industry’s most impressive developments, leading retailers, leisure operators and affiliated business partners, through concepts, initiatives and design excellence.

David Sylvester, Senior Vice President of Sands Retail Asia at Las Vegas Sands Corp, said, “It is our great honor to be recognised as the RLI International Shopping Center of the year. Since its inception, our vision for The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands was to constantly create and deliver a world-class retail experience for Singapore and the region. With Marina Bay Sands’ distinctive architecture and design, we are providing an extraordinary stage that will showcase the endless possibilities and unprecedented retail mix that we have for visitors from all over the world.”

The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is made up of close to 800,000 square feet of retail space and 300 boutiques and restaurants. The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands also boasts new boutique concepts such as the Louis Vuitton Island Maison housed in the Crystal Pavilion North, the first of its kind in the world.
