The Trade Development Council has launched its $1.4 billion expansion works on the Convention & Exhibition Centre.
Scheduled for completion in the first half of 2009, the project will create 40% more exhibition space, amounting to 19,400 square metres or 1,000 booths.
The council will conduct the works without land reclamation. The building contractor is Hip Hing-Ngo Kee Joint Venture.
The expansion will allow mega-trade-fairs to keep growing, with several in the running to become the world's largest for their industries.
The council has also converted its underground carpark into flexible exhibition space to accommodate even more booths at mega fairs while construction of the expansion is underway.
