Marina Bay Sands is getting an $8B expansion
Singapore's eye-catching Marina Bay Sands hotel and resort is undergoing an $8 billion expansion. A trip to Singapore isn't complete without taking a look at Marina Bay Sands. The massive resort, made up of three 650-foot-tall skyscrapers and connected by a boat-like skybridge, is a symbol of the city-state's modernism and prosperity. Such a pricey expansion to such a national icon is, predictably, a hot-button topic. Marina Bay Sands is set to receive a fourth tower, plus a 15,000-seat arena. The makeover broke ground this month under the looming specter of public scrutiny. 6 When it opened in 2011, Marina Bay Sands hotel and resort radically redefined the Singaporean skyline. AFP via Getty Images 6 A rendering of the planned fourth tower and adjoining event venue. Safdie Architects The resort's original architect, Moshe Safdie, designed the new tower. 'The (Urban Redevelopment) Authority repeatedly said, 'This is our icon; our people of Singapore love this, and we cannot do anything that's going to compromise it,' Safdie told CNN. The 87-year-old Israeli architect told the outlet that his goal was to design an edifice that was complimentary to the originals, while bearing its own identity. The current iteration of Marina Bay Sands, owned by the US casino and resort company Las Vegas Sands, attracted 38 million visitors and the equivalent of $1.7 billion in business spending last year, according to CNN. Safdie, whose firm is headquartered in Massachusetts, said connecting the fourth tower to the other three was hardly considered. Instead, the 55-story extension will be set apart on an adjacent plot. He described the new tower as the dot of an exclamation point. 6 The fourth tower's boat-like 'Skyloop.' Safdie Architects 6 The adjoining event venue will host a massive arena, and 200,000 square feet of conference and exhibition space. Safdie Architects 'The buildings look related,' Safdie told the outlet. 'They're in the same family.' The new tower will comprise of 570 suites, as well as luxury retail and gaming facilities. The facade, twisting at a 45-degree angle, tops off with a 76,000-square-foot 'Skyloop,' featuring the resort's famous infinity-edge pools, an observatory, restaurants and lush rooftop gardens. The fourth tower will share the original resort's panoramic views of the Marina Bay and Singapore Strait. A massive event venue, designed by the team behind the Las Vegas Sphere, will sit neatly in between the two structures. The building will span approximately 200,000 square feet of conference and exhibition space, with a 15,000-seat sports and entertainment arena at its core. The new development aims to capture more tourism revenue from so-called 'Mice' travelers, according to CNBC, who flock to the city for meetings and conferences, as well as leisure travelers trekking through Asia. 6 Local reactions to the recently announced plans range from disgust to excitement. AFP via Getty Images 6 The three-pronged resort is known for its highly Instagrammable rooftop pool. Best View Stock – Online commenters reacted strongly to the development's recent groundbreaking, with some Redditors comparing the fourth tower design to a lurking neighbor of a 'huge dehumidifier.' Safdie told CNN that all the new development needs is time, saying that, before long, 'people will feel it's always been there.'

TSG Consumer Partners Acquires Phlur
On Tuesday, private equity firm TSG Consumer Partners announced a definitive agreement to acquire indie fragrance label Phlur, The Business of Beauty can exclusively confirm. A value for the deal was not disclosed; the brand is expected to generate over $150 million in retail sales this year, according to chief executive Elizabeth Ashmun. The masstige line was relaunched in February 2022 by brand accelerator The Center, founded by Ben Bennett, and influencer Chriselle Lim. It has become known for mood-centered scents like the best-selling Missing Person, which was inspired by Lim's divorce and a longing for an ex lover. 'I was in a very broken place at the time, and I couldn't find any inspiration outside of my deep pain … it was different from the typical fragrance, where they put everything on a silver platter and they make everything beautiful,' said Lim. 'What we were able to offer with Phlur was really something different that hasn't been done in fragrance, which was rawness and vulnerability and transparency.' Phlur's evocative fragrances and marketing has resonated not only with scent-obsessed Gen-Z and Millennial customers but also choosy shoppers looking for elevated products. Ashmun, who joined the brand in 2024, said that 50 percent of its customers are net new to the category. Phlur is reportedly the number two growth brand at Sephora US and Canada, and jumped from the top 20 fine fragrances to top 10 in the last year. At Space NK, it has broken into the retailer's top 10 overall lines and has seen triple-digit growth. With the acquisition, TSG Consumer pushes further into the influencer-founded space, a tricky but recently lucrative sector of the beauty industry. Last year, it invested in skincare and makeup line Summer Fridays, founded by influencers Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland. It previously held a stake in Huda Kattan's Huda Beauty. Prior TSG beauty investments have included megabrands E.l.f. Beauty and It Cosmetics. In a challenging M&A market, which includes a slew of cosmetic brands in holding patterns, a select few celebrity- and influencer-fronted brands have broken through. The most notable example as of late is Hailey Bieber's Rhode, acquired by E.l.f. in May for an eye-watering $1 billion. Mona Kattan's Kayali was purchased by private equity firm General Atlantic and Kattan from TSG in February, and Susan Yara's Naturium, also developed by The Center, was acquired by E.l.f. Beauty in 2023. Phlur, which only began its sale process this year, was 'aggressively pursued' by TSG Consumer, said Hadley Mullin, senior managing director, and became the obvious partner for the brand early on. 'It was coming up time and time again as a standout,' said Mullin, adding that the firm chooses to work with beauty brands that have been productive in existing retail, with wider untapped distribution. 'The most important voice in the room when we're evaluating which brand to invest in is the consumer, followed by the retailer,' she said. Phlur founder Chriselle Lim (left) and chief executive Elizabeth Ashmun. (Phlur) A Non-Traditional Approach Phlur's origin story is unusual in today's cut-throat beauty landscape. Originally launched in 2015 as a digital-first, 'clean' fragrance proposition by entrepreneurs Cynthia and Eric Korman in Austin Texas, Phlur was purchased Bennett in 2021. Lim joined as co-owner and creative director that same year. Lim was also an unexpected partner for Phlur. For starters, the 40-year-old influencer was better known for her fashion sensibility than her taste in perfumes. Lim was part of the original wave of bloggers-turned-influencers, launching 'The Chriselle Factor' on YouTube in 2011. While beauty partnerships factored into her content, it was only as a byproduct of her style focus. She previously told The Business of Beauty she 'never ever thought I would own a fragrance company or even be a part of anything related to fragrance.' Lim will stay on with TSG Consumer as creative director along with Ashmun and Phlur's roughly 20-person team. As product and marketing have become interchangeable in beauty, Lim's creative lens and personal touch has made Phlur a hit. The line's first scent after its relaunch, Missing Person, recalled the feeling of longing, so the brand sent out press and influencer gifting with oversized men's t-shirts drenched in the fragrance. She also spoke candidly on social media about her divorce and subsequent depression. Lim credits the success of Phlur not only to timing, but also due to its aesthetic. The brand's three best-sellers, or Phlur 'icons', are 'Missing Person,' 'Vanilla Skin' and 'Father Figure'; body mists include a scent dubbed 'Heavy Cream.' More recently, Lim has stepped back from campaign imagery to let the line stand on its own, something buyers need proof of when looking to invest, with the hope of building a forever label. 'Phlur is a brand; it's not just Chriselle's fragrance line,' said Mullin. The Smell of Success Since the pandemic, fragrance has remained beauty's fastest-growing category. According to BoF's The State of Fashion: Beauty report with McKinsey & Co, the sector is expected to grow by 6 percent by 2030, outpacing skincare and makeup. Buoyed by a younger customer base, cheaper prices and new formats, a fresh guard of challengers has upended the previously dominant designer playbook. While scents like Dior Sauvage, Creed Aventus and Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle remain top sellers, customers are ditching the idea of a signature scent in favour of scent layering. Accessible prices make that kind of outfitting much easier; a Phlur 50 ml fragrance is $99 versus $143 for Coco Mademoiselle. 'The model's elegant price architecture allows the brand to be profitable from a corporate standpoint while providing an accessible price point for trial,' said Colin Welch, managing director and head of New York, at TSG Consumer Partners. Phlur reported that sales are split roughly 50 percent between retail and e-commerce. Sales are expected to grow 65 percent year-on-year in 2026. Bodycare brand Sol de Janeiro became a breakout success on the strength of its next-gen fragrances, and since the label's acquisition by L'Occitane in 2021, buyers have been on the hunt for the next indie powerhouse. Many have tried to fill that void, including Glossier, which remains focussed on the category versus its once-core skincare and makeup, and Dedcool, which offers fragrances in an array of formats including detergent. Phlur moved from eau de parfums into body mists and ancillary products like deodorant and body oils in 2023. It has ditched the traditional fragrance flanker approach of staying true to a core scent, launching two original EDPs and up to seven extensions each year. Ashmun said that new formats, a push towards men and a broader global footprint are top of mind for the brand as it transitions to new ownership. (50 percent of Lim's followers are based in Europe.) While the relevance of famous founders ebbs and flows, Lim said those with longevity are 'more intentional' with how they speak to their audiences. She cites her evolving career as proof. 'Storytelling is one of my superpowers,' Lim said.

Factbox-Foreign firms' executives entangled in Chinese probes
BEIJING (Reuters) -U.S. bank Wells Fargo has suspended all travel to China after one of its employees was barred from leaving the country, extending a trend of foreign executives caught up in probes by authorities that has chilled business sentiment. Below are some other recent examples: - A Beijing court this week sentenced a Japanese employee of Astellas Pharma to 3-1/2 years in prison. The man had been detained since March 2023 on suspicion of spying and had been indicted about a year ago. - In March, Chinese authorities released employees of U.S. corporate due diligence firm Mintz Group detained in Beijing two years ago. Five of the firm's local staff were detained in a raid that turned out to be the beginning of a sweeping crackdown on consultancy and due diligence firms, including Bain & Company's office in Shanghai. A Singaporean executive at Mintz was also prevented from leaving China, sources told Reuters. China fined Mintz about $1.5 million in July 2024 for doing "unapproved statistical work". - Anglo-Swedish pharmaceutical firm AstraZeneca saw its China president Leon Wang detained and placed under investigation in 2024, with little information about what the probe was about. Wang, who grew up in China, was a high-profile executive often quoted in the Chinese business press. AstraZeneca's CEO said in February that the company was not permitted to speak with Wang, who has been placed under extended leave since December. Chinese media had reported that AstraZeneca was under probe since 2021, suspected of fabricating genetic testing results related to the firm's lung cancer drug Tagrisso and of insurance fraud. - A senior Nomura Holdings banker overseeing the Japanese firm's investment banking operations in China was ordered not to leave the mainland, sources told Reuters in late 2023. The exit ban was lifted the following year allowing Charles Wang Zhonghe, China investment banking chairman at Nomura, to return to Hong Kong, where he was previously based, according to the Financial Times. - Michael Chan, a senior executive at U.S. risk advisory firm Kroll, was barred from leaving the Chinese mainland, the Wall Street Journal reported in September 2023. The Hong Kong passport holder was assisting in an investigation dating back a few years, the newspaper reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Neither Kroll nor Chan was the target of the investigation, according to the newspaper. - A Singapore-based UBS wealth manager was prevented from leaving China in 2018. The executive was asked to remain in the country to meet with local authorities, Reuters reported at that time. The uncertainty surrounding the exit ban on the wealth manager had led the Swiss bank and several of its rivals to require their private banking staff to carefully consider trips to China.
