If you don’t win the casino license, would you still build a new office tower, housing and a school in Hudson Yards?
It would not be on the same timeline at all because the infrastructure costs of building this platform have escalated so dramatically,
and the resort is really the economic engine that’s paying for a big portion of this.
I couldn't tell you when the western yards would get developed absent the resort but it still would be.

The awarding of the license will ensure the second phase gets built at once, just as the first phase did.
