Macau plans new development at Fisherman’s Wharf zone

A new development at the Fisherman’s Wharf in Macau may see another gambling location opened up in the near future. Macau Legend Development is redesigning the Legendale Hotel project for the tourism complex, wich currently has two gaming venues operating under SJM Holdings licence. There is no confirmation if Macau Legend wants to have a casino at the new property when built.

The chief executive of casino services and hotel-operating firm Macau Legend Development says it is to redesign a planned project called Legendale Hotel for its waterside gaming and tourism complex Macau Fisherman’s Wharf.

“We are redesigning the build plan for it now,” Melinda Chan Mei Yi told GGRAsia on the sidelines of her company’s annual general meeting.

Macau Fisherman’s Wharf currently has two gaming venues: Babylon Casino, which has no hotel; and Legend Palace Casino, inside the Legend Palace Hotel which is developed and run by the company. Both gaming venues operate under the licence of SJM Holdings, under so-called service agreements.

Macau Legend has not clarified whether it would seek to have a casino at Legendale Hotel once it is built. Macau Fisherman’s Wharf already has two other non-gaming hotels: three-star Rocks Hotel that has been closed since February and the Harbourview Hotel.

A spokesperson for Macau Legend, asked whether a casino would be included in the project, said: “We are maintaining the existing gaming inventory at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf. And in future whether or not we should have more gaming elements, we will seek our shareholders’ thoughts on this issue.”
