Wynn Resorts and Related Companies/Oxford Properties Group have revealed the renderings for its Wynn New York City casino resort located in Hudson Yards on Manhattan’s west side.
To be developed on a platform built above the railyard between West 30th and West 33rd Streets and 11th and 12th Avenues, the two parties stated that the Wynn New York City resort will create 5,000 permanent jobs in the area and feature hotel rooms and suites, restaurants, bars and lounges, a spa and a concierge team.
Wynn and Related added that the Hudson Yards West project will create 35,000 union construction jobs, 5.6 acres of publicly accessible open space, a residential building with affordable housing, commercial office space, a school, a community facility and a daycare centre to help “enhance the neighbourhood and maximise benefits” for the community.
As Wynn and Related submit their full application to the New York State Gaming Facility Location Board and continue the environmental review process, other features to be announced include a substantial community benefits programme, security programme and traffic mitigation plan.
“As the leading designer, developer, and operator of premium gaming resorts in the world, Wynn New York City will attract luxury and aspirational travellers to our destination resort in Hudson Yards,” commented Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts.
“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, all with less foot traffic than might be required at other resorts.”
Notably, Wynn and Related noted that the 5.6-acre park will create a “seamless recreational space along the entire West Side that is integrated with the surrounding neighbourhood” that is “designed with the specific needs and input of community stakeholders with programming and areas for residents and their pets to embrace”.
Jeff T 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 neighbours.
“We look forward to completing our vision for Hudson Yards in partnership with Wynn Resorts and revealing full project plans as part of our application to New York State.”
