Melco has six licensed casinos in Macau. Melco also controls 55.8 percent of casinos in Macau. Resorts owned by Melco include Studio City and City of Dreams- both on the Cotai Strip.

In recent years, Macau officials under the direction of Beijing have been urged to diversify into the non-gaming business. In Macau and Cotai, there is little room for development, and investors are looking to the neighboring province of Guangdong.

The unnamed development in Zhongshan will feature parks, hotels, and green areas. The development is composed of residential, commercial, recreational, and entertainment elements. Melco and Agile are targeting to complete the project by 2025.
