US – Wynn releases its own renderings for casino resort at Hudson Yards in Manhattan
By Phil - 18 March 2024
Wynn Resorts has now released its own renderings for the blue of its $12bn casino proposal earmarked for Hudson Yards along Manhattan’s west side.
An 80-story pointed sky scrapper will tower over the Hudson River with a hotel and casino, engulffed by a 5.6-acre park as well as offices, apartments, a 750 pupil school, a community facility and a daycare center.
Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts said: “As the leading designer, developer, and operator of premium gaming resorts in the world, Wynn New York City will attract luxury and aspirational travelers to our destination resort in Hudson Yards. Wynn guests consistently spend more when they travel. That results in greater tax revenues for the city and state and more spending in the local community, all with less foot traffic than might be required at other resorts.”
Jeff Blau, CEO of Related Companies, added: Hudson Yards has already proven to be an unparalleled catalyst for the New York economy, first through tens of thousands of construction jobs and now as home to the world’s leading companies, retail and housing. Moving forward with the second phase of development presents an incredible opportunity to double the impact and provide generational benefits to the State, City, and especially our West Side neighbors’ he explained.
He added: “We look forward to completing our vision for the neighborhood in partnership with Wynn Resorts and revealing full project plans as part of our application to New York State.”
