The Apple Marina Bay Sands is the 512th Apple Store unveiled by the technology brand as its latest space to retail its wares that highlights an unexpected experience and construction. The store is a floating isle located on the waterfront in Singapore and fits in perfectly with the modern metropolis it sits in front of. Appearing as a modern retail space during the day, the store is positioned as a glowing beacon that is reflected in the water around it to make it a spectacle to admire after dark.
The Apple Marina Bay Sands store is being referred to as "the lantern on the bay" as a subtle nod to the city's Mid-Autumn festival and the glowing structure to boot.
