Adaptive reuse at the heart of RWS 2.0
The WEAVE, the first completed element of the RWS 2.0 transformation, reimagines the former Forum at Resorts World Sentosa as a 20,000m2 lifestyle retail and dining destination across three interconnected levels. The existing structure was retained and reimagined, an adaptive reuse approach that aligned with RWS’s commitment to becoming carbon neutral by 2030.

Lifestyle villas and a curated brand mix
The project transformed the former retail area into an island-inspired streetscape, connecting Universal Studios Singapore, the Singapore Oceanarium and the upcoming waterfront complex. The scheme doubles its predecessor’s footprint and introduces over 40 premium brands, including a series of lifestyle villas configured for flagship stores and signature labels. A curated mix of Asia-exclusive flagships and new-to-market culinary concepts sharpens the project’s regional pull.
Curved shaded paths, layered landscaping, deep canopies and three green pavilions integrate retail, leisure and community space. The canopy and porous façades reduce solar gain, lower ambient temperatures, and improve airflows, delivering measurable improvements in ETTV performance compared with the original scheme. With abundant greenery serving both a psychological and a thermal function.
