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. The companies stated that project will create 5,000 permanent jobs in the area.
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 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.
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.”
“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.”
