Jewel, Singapore's new icon directly connected to Changi International Airport

Jewel Changi Airport (Jewel), a large complex at Changi International Airport, the gateway to Singapore, opened on April 17, 2019 (official opening date is October 18). Designed by Moshe Safdie, the architect of Marina Bay Sands, the glass-domed facility has a total floor area of 137,000 square meters and houses approximately 280 restaurants and retail stores, 12 attractions, a movie theater, and a hotel. Many Japanese companies, including the first overseas "Pokemon Center" and JR East's "JW360°" restaurant/retail complex, have opened stores in the facility. The most popular attraction in the facility is the "Rain Vortex," the world's longest indoor waterfall at 40 meters high. The "SHISEIDO FOREST VALLEY," a 22,000 m2 indoor garden surrounding the waterfall, is the most popular spot where visitors are sure to stop by to view a free installation created in collaboration with Team Lab.

Upgrading of an international airport through a joint public-private project.

Changi International Airport, which has been ranked first overall in World's Best Airports for seven consecutive years, completed Jewel through a grand joint project between the public and private sectors. Recognizing that it is essential for the government to continue upgrading the international airport in order to firmly establish its position as the hub of Southeast Asia, Jewel was built on a site that had been reserved for the expansion of the parking lot. It is directly connected to the Terminal 1 Arrivals Hall and is also conveniently accessible from Terminals 2 and 3 via a pedestrian path. It functions as a commercial complex that attracts not only airport users but also local residents. Until now, the icon of Singapore has been the Marina Bay Sands, but with the completion of Jewel, it is already attracting attention from around the world as a new icon.
