## Original article

The Ministry of National Development (MND) and the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) have awarded the design consultancy tender for the redevelopment of The Float @ Marina Bay to the consultant team led by WOHA Architects Pte Ltd. 

In 2017, it was announced that The Float @ Marina Bay will be redeveloped into a permanent space that is envisioned to be a unique venue to stage large-scale national and community events such as the National Day Parade, River Hongbao, and the Marina Bay Singapore Countdown, as well as to provide spaces within Marina Bay for the public to enjoy community and recreational activities.

Creating a liveable and people-centred city for all Singaporeans is a key part of Singapore’s long-term urban development plans. In this regard, the redevelopment of The Float @ Marina Bay remains a part of these plans to enhance the vibrancy of the city centre and to create public spaces where the community can come together. 

Following the design consultancy tender which was held from May 2019 to July 2020 (see Annex for details), WOHA Architects Pte Ltd will act as the Principal Consultant and lead the project team to develop and implement the design for the redevelopment. 

The redevelopment works are scheduled to start in March 2022 and completed by end 2025. However, given the impact of COVID-19, the project scope and timeline may be adjusted. More details on the project will be shared with the public when ready.

### 滨海湾浮动舞台重建设计顾问招标结果

国家发展部（MND）与国防部（MINDEF）已将滨海湾浮动舞台（The Float @ Marina Bay）重建项目的设计顾问招标授予由WOHA Architects Pte Ltd牵头的顾问团队。

2017年曾宣布，滨海湾浮动舞台将重建为永久性空间，愿景是成为一个独特场馆，可举办国庆庆典、春到河畔（River Hongbao）、滨海湾新加坡跨年倒数等大型国家与社区活动，并在滨海湾内为公众提供享受社区与休闲活动的空间。

为全体新加坡人打造宜居、以人为本的城市，是新加坡长期城市发展计划的关键组成部分。就此而言，滨海湾浮动舞台的重建仍是这些计划的一部分，旨在提升市中心活力，并创造社区可共同聚集的公共空间。

经2019年5月至2020年7月举行的设计顾问招标（详情见附件）后，WOHA Architects Pte Ltd将担任首席顾问，并领导项目团队制定和实施重建设计。

重建工程计划于2022年3月动工，并于2025年底前完工。不过，鉴于冠病（COVID-19）的影响，项目范围与时间表或会调整。更多项目详情将在准备就绪后向公众公布。
