Suntrust’s US$1.25 billion Manila casino development facing further delay of up to nine months

The US$1.25 billion integrated resort facility being developed by Suntrust Resort Holdings in Manila’s Entertainment City precinct, known as LET X, is facing further delays, possibly by up to nine months, the developer revealed on Thursday.

Suntrust, which had previously slated a 4Q25 launch, said in a Philippine Stock Exchange filing that it is “in the process of reviewing plans and actual construction status which may impact its previous launch estimate”. It added that, based on the PAGCOR approved Project Implementation Plan, completion and opening of its main casino – part of the broader Westside City project being developed by Suntrust investor and local real estate giant Megaworld – is targeted for the third quarter of 2026.

If realized, this would represent the latest in a series of delays and push opening back a full two years from the original opening date of mid-to late 2024.

Suntrust, controlled by Hong Kong-listed LET Group Holdings – formerly known as Suncity Group – said that, as of 31 March 2025, the construction of structural works and major facade systems up to roof level has been completed and that the mechanical, electrical and plumbing and fire protection systems in major plantrooms had also been substantially completed.

Architectural builders and fit-out works, external civil and landscape works are in progress, the company added.

However, Suntrust confirmed that it “anticipates deferral of revenue generation” – seemingly well into next year.

Aside from construction delays to LET X, Suntrust has over the past 12 months reported two cost increase from its initial US$1 billion estimate – first to US$1.1 billion and only recently to US$1.25 billion.

The project has been envisioned to offer 475 luxury hotel rooms, a casino with 281 gaming tables, 1,126 slot machines and 134 electronic table games, a pool deck, spa, wellness center, ballroom and MICE space, multiple theaters, a “grand opera house”, food mall and four cinemas.
