SINGAPORE, June 7 ― Jewel at Changi Airport is gearing up to open in early 2019 with attractions including the world’s first indoor Sky Nets suspended 25m above the ground, spanning over indoor gardens, mazes, slides, walking trails and 300 retail and dining outlets below. At approximately 14,000 square metres, equivalent to the size of 11 Olympic-size swimming pools, Canopy Park will be situated at the top level of the Jewel.

Designed by world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie, Jewel will feature a distinctive dome-shaped facade made of glass and steel, making it an iconic landmark in the airport’s landscape. At approximately 134,000 sqm in size, it will offer a range of facilities including airport services, indoor gardens and leisure attractions, retail and dining offerings as well as a hotel, all under one roof.

A centrepiece of the iconic five-storey structure at Canopy Park is the breathtaking 40m-high Rain Vortex and 50m-long canopy bridge with glass panel flooring in the centre portion of the bridge for visitors to look right through to Level 1 of Jewel. Open play areas for children have specially-created features such as Foggy Bowls emitting mist to create the experience of playing amongst clouds. It will have one of the largest indoor collections of plants in Singapore with two custom-built gardens ― the Topiary Walk and Petal Garden.

Located in front of Changi Airport’s Terminal 1, Jewel is being positioned as a world-class lifestyle destination in Singapore, enhancing Changi’s appeal as a premier air hub. The Jewel’s unique offerings will be a place where "Singapore meets the World, and the World meets Singapore”, right at the doorstep of Singapore Changi Airport, one of the most acclaimed icons in the world, said Ms Hung Jean, Chief Executive Officer of Jewel Changi Airport Development.

The complex was designed by a consortium of consultants from Britain, France, Germany, Singapore and The Netherlands, including local architect RSP. Jewel Changi Airport is a joint venture between Changi Airport Group and CapitaLand Mall Asia. ― TODAY
