The grandstand at NS Square will seat about 30,000 people, allowing more spectators at the National Day Parade each year.
Construction on the NS Square venue in Singapore's downtown centre started on Tuesday (Mar 19), with an expected completion date by 2027.
The redevelopment of a floating platform at Marina Bay into NS Square was announced in 2017 and initially slated for completion at end-2025, but faced delays during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Once completed, NS Square will become a national landmark for all Singaporeans, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said at a groundbreaking ceremony on Tuesday.
“NS Square aims to be a place for NSmen and their families to enjoy the peace and prosperity of a Singapore which they have protected over the years,” he said.
When completed, NS Square will house a permanent stage and grandstand for large-scale annual events like the National Day Parade and Marina Bay year-end countdown.
