New Renderings Of Hudson Yards’ Potential $12 Billion Casino Complex Have Been Released
If Related Companies and Wynn Resorts have their way a showy $12 billion mixed-use gaming complex will be heading to NYC’s Hudson Yards neighborhood, and new renderings have just been released. If constructed, the complex will consist of multiple skyscrapers, a luscious 5.6-acre park the size of Bryant Park, and more.
The proposal is a first-of-its-kind resort that would help complete the decades-long revitalization of Manhattan’s West Side. It would be developed on a platform built above the railyard between West 30th and West 33rd Streets and 11th and 12th Avenues. It would include:
- 5.6-acres of publicly accessible open space with access to the Javits Center and nearby parks
- A world-class gaming resort with luxurious hotel rooms and suites, restaurants, bars, lounges, and a spa
- A residential building including affordable housing
- Class AA commercial office space
- A public K-8 school with a community facility and a daycare center
The proposal also includes three supertall skyscrapers, each with a distinct design and different massings, façades, and crowns. Lush greenery would fill the areas between the towers and feature public walkways that face the High Line. Renderings also show a dog run, rock-climbing wall at the base of one of the skyscrapers.
Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts, stated:
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 spend in the local community.
Related Companies and Wynn Resorts are hoping that the renderings will show how the complex would blend in with the High Line, opposing critics’ claims that it would be too intrusive and obstruct views.
There are currently three downstate casino licenses up for grabs. If this one is approved Jeff Blau, CEO of Related Companies, stated that it would “create tens of thousands of jobs…and billions in much-needed revenue for the City and State.” A proposal for a Coney Island casino is also in the works.
The state Gaming Commission isn’t expected to award licenses until December 31, 2025. See more about the proposal here.
