Built in 1927, it was Singapore's first coal-fired power plant supplying electricity to nearby shipyards, industry and residences.
It was refurbished in two years, and opened as Singapore's largest entertainment complex in the fourth quarter of 2006. The building is owned and developed by Mapletree Investments at a cost of approximately S$40 million.
