Summary
Wynn Resorts has provided an update on the Wynn Al Marjan Island integrated resort in the UAE: the main tower, planned to reach 305 metres, currently stands at its 70th floor with a topping-out expected later this month. The exterior facade is 73% complete, with 19,206 of 26,247 panels installed. Low-rise concrete and steel works are around 97% finished.
The site spans more than 60 hectares and will include 1,217 resort rooms, 297 enclave suites, ten Marina Estates, four garden townhomes and two royal apartments. Facilities will feature 22 restaurants, lounges and bars, a beach club, spa and beauty services, luxury retail, the Coral Court event venue, The Showroom theatre, 12 pools, a 420-metre white-sand beach and a deep-water marina for superyachts.
Structurally, 1,526 of the planned 1,530 accommodation units are complete (~99.7%). Interior fit-outs are under way in about 1,504 units while mechanical and electrical installations continue across the resort. The project — a $5.1 billion investment developed with Marjan Properties and RAK Hospitality Holding — is scheduled to open in early 2027. ALEC Engineering & Contracting holds the main construction contract and Bauer International is handling piling and enabling works.
