Inside the plan for a new Hudson Yards with thousands of apartments, offices — but no casino

It’s a full house — just no casino.
The New York City Council unanimously signed off Wednesday on a rezoning plan to supercharge Hudson Yards with thousands of new apartments, office towers and a sprawling park — after booting the controversial casino that once threatened to roll in.
Wynn Resort backed out of the $12 billion project last month citing “persistent opposition” during the rezoning process.
But Wynn’s former developer partner, Related Companies, kept working on a redevelopment plan, including with Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who represents New York City’s Third District.
.....Related replaced the casino with luxury offices and a residential hotel.
