Saratoga Casino Holdings, Global Gaming Solutions, Legends and Thor Equities, the developers behind the proposed Coney Island casino in New York, have released new project renderings for their project.
New images depcit a 500-room hotel, a 2,500-seat concert venue, high-end restaurants, 90,000 square feet of meeting and event space and a public green space.
Sam Gerrity, CEO of Saratoga Casino Holdings, said: “For two years we have been speaking with the residents of Coney Island and southern Brooklyn about the need for a project that creates careers, supports local businesses, and centers entertainment around the idea of a playground that is truly accessible to the people. We have heard time and time again that Coney Island needs a project that provides year-round economic support while also lifting up the infrastructure in one of the most densely traveled areas of the community.”
Dan Boren, board Chairman for Global Gaming Solutions and secretary of commerce for The Chickasaw Nation, added: “The Coney will be a world-class destination with activities for locals and tourists alike,” We have worked closely with the community and local business owners to put together a proposal that is designed to create thousands of good paying jobs and lift the entire local economy, benefitting Coney Island and all of Brooklyn.”
“Situated in the middle of a preexisting entertainment district steps away from one of NYC’s most iconic historical landmarks, The Coney just makes sense,” Mr. Gerrity added. “Additionally, The Coney is a project that would be built on privately owned land. That means we are ready to put shovels in the ground on day one.”
