Mega-Resort Starts Permit Process

By Eric Peterson

the hotel towers could become the tallest building in the state, topping the current champ, the 781-foot Goldman Sachs tower in Jersey City. Earlier this year, the city council raised the site’s height limit from 485 feet to 800 feet, and the towers are expected to hit that number.
This one may be taller, but a larger development planned by MGM provides competition...
