One-of-a-kind Marina Bay Apple Store is preparing for opening in Singapore

First up was Apple Orchard Road. Then came Apple Jewel Changi Airport. Now Apple is ready to open its third and most unique store in Singapore yet.

❍ Apple Marina Bay Sands will soon open on the waterfront of Singapore. An opening date and time will be announced in the coming days.

Nije The new store continues Apple’s nearly 40-year history of recognizing Singapore as a major hub for technology and creativity. It is the third Apple Store to open in just over 3 years in the region and the 512th Apple location worldwide.

Apple Marina Bay Sands is located next to the world-famous resort and architectural destination. It is the first Apple Store with a spherical design and the first sits on a body of water.

Apple Marina Bay Sands
is a gleaming orb that runs on the waters of Singapore Bay. During the day, the glass panels of the store reflect the towering skyline of the Downtown Core and movement of the shrinking water.
At night the atmosphere glows with a gentle warmth, awakening the design of traditional lanterns worn during the Singapore’s
Mid autumn festival.

The pavilion dome melts into an oculus, allowed
unobstructed light to flood into. A bird’s eye view of the store resembles a glass of iris gliding through the air.

Apple Marina Bay Sands
is a dramatic departure
from the design of each
Apple Store for that.
An elevated boardwalk and underwater passage connect the pavilion to the shore
and The Shoppes at
Marina Bay Sands.
The shape of the structure
informs a completely new
store layout.

Although completely unique, Apple Marina Bay Sands will still offer the signing experience and well-known shopping features that customers have come to expect from Apple’s other locations in Singapore.

The vibrant architecture and vibrant nightlife of Marina Bay Sands capture the energy of modern Singapore.
Visitors from all over the world come to experience the SkyPark Observation Deck, ArtScience Museum and the Gardens by the Bay next door.

Under normal circumstances, guests and residents of Singapore gather
every night at the Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza to experience Spectra, a free light and water extravaganza across the bay.

In the interests of health and safety,
Apple’s opening at Marina Bay Sands will include the same measures found at other Apple Stores in Singapore. Apple will limit store occupancy to ensure opening day remains safe.
