Monday 31st of August 2015

Bridge Investment Group has chosen global leisure design firm, YWS Design, to masterplan its Tinian Ocean View Resort, the companies said in a press release.

The Resort is planned for development in the Northern Mariana Islands, specifically the island of Tinian - the only US Territory which allows visa free travel for Chinese and Russian Tourists.

Scheduled to break ground in January 2016, the $150 million themed resort, which has been granted a conditional gaming license, will have a Titanic replica hotel and luxury resort accommodations.

The Resort is planned for development in two phases: Phase One will include the primary hotel and casino and Phase Two will expand the casino program into an adjoining Titanic replica which sits on Tinian Harbor.

The expanded casino and hospitality accommodations within the Titanic replica will serve the luxury tourist market segment and high-limit gambler.

“Themed environments toe the line between theatrics and functionality and when they’re designed well, the experience is unforgettable,” said Tom Wucherer, YWS CEO and design architect for Bellagio and Treasure Island in Las Vegas.

“We’re excited to create something truly singular in the Tinian Ocean View Resort.”

The Resort is planned to include 300 hotel rooms spanning two buildings, a 1800 sqm. casino complex, two arcades and a wedding chapel.
