Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore was designed by a consortium led by Moshe Safdie, with RSP Architects as executive architect and structural engineer, PWP Landscape Architecture on landscape and Benoy on interiors. The client is Jewel Changi Airport Trustee Pte Ltd, a joint venture of Changi Airport Group and CapitaLand. Construction started on December 5, 2014, per the infobox, with a soft opening on April 17, 2019.
The article calls the design neofuturistic, with a steel and glass toroidal facade on 8.6 acres (3.5 hectares) and 1.46 million square feet (135,700 m²). The Rain Vortex is a 131-foot (40 m) indoor waterfall, and the Forest Valley is an indoor garden of about 22,000 square meters. The infobox says 12 levels and the text says ten.
It cost S$1.7 billion in both sources, though a 2013 report gave S$1.47 billion. It had about 50 million visitors in its first six months and over 80 million in 2024.
