When Related settles on a scheme (site plan), you’ll see movement. There may also be federal funding for the platform.

[Ahoi]

And in my opinion, that could still take some time.

Are they finished with the rail related work at the platform location?

lol would it have killed them to just put the two graphics in geographical order, for a story that is about a real, physical connection between the two places?

Theyre not even in alphabetical order?

[Busy Bee]

Yeah that's pretty incompetent.

The folks owning that balcony are up for a great show in the coming ten years!

Never mind, just realized this was taken from the High Line

[Ahoi]

My guide on my first trip to the city in 2011 told us that something great was being built here at New York . Hudson Yards.
Yes, I'm still waiting for Phase Two to finally begin, but the platform has to be approved first.

Hopefully they can get more glass curtain wall colors besides plastic blue.

The casino licenses will be given either at the end of the year, or next year. Until then, I’ll just be happy to see the renderings.

Wynn Resorts posts record quarter


By Richard N. Velotta
Las Vegas Review-Journal

Wynn Resorts Ltd. had the best financial quarter in its history at the end of 2023, and CEO Craig Billings said February is shaping up as its best ever.

The Las Vegas-based resort company continues to “fire on all cylinders,” Billings said in a Wednesday earnings call with investors, adding that the opening of Strip neighbor Fontainebleau hasn’t impacted the company’s operations at all.

The company reported revenue of $1.84 billion for the quarter that ended Dec. 31, an 83.3 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2022.

Billings said Wynn’s convention calendar is strong for 2024 and the company has several growth options on the horizon. He also said his company is fortunate to be a neighbor of the Sphere and that many high-rolling guests request rooms with a view of the flashy performance venue.

Billings also referenced the possibility of development in other venues.

“We’ve got a huge land bank here in Vegas, right? We’ve got the land across the street (Las Vegas Boulevard), we’ve got the golf course. There’s a lot that we can do here. We’re in pursuit, as I think everyone knows, in New York, we have a project that’s actually coming out of the ground in the UAE. There’s some additional states that are moving, albeit at a relatively slow pace, that might prove to be opportunities for us. We obviously don’t do every potential jurisdiction. We’re very selective.”

Casino companies are looking to sweeten the deal


By Courtney Gross
Feb. 13, 2024

… Last week, Sullivan and his team unveiled a plan to pour money into the Queens neighborhood where they want to develop a casino in the shadow of Citi Field.

They are committing to spend more than $1 billion in what they are calling "community benefits," including a food hall, a revamped subway station, a trust that would dole out grants to local community groups, a health clinic and a youth and senior center.

… Last year, Las Vegas Sands struck a deal with Nassau County, committing to millions of dollars in rent payments for the Nassau Coliseum, more in so-called public safety payments to the county every year and a brand new police substation.

“We will be receiving from Las Vegas Sands $1.8 million per year with escalation clause for police improvements in the whole area surrounding the coliseum,” Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman said at the time.

… real estate giant Related Companies and hotel and casino company Wynn Resorts want to build a casino on the west side of Manhattan in Hudson Yards. When NY1 asked what kind of benefits it would offer to the community, a spokesman said more than any other project.

“Because of our unparalleled location, brands and project scale that will attract global attention and generate maximum revenue, Wynn New York City will generate more direct jobs, taxes and benefits than any other bid,” a spokesmen for the project said in a statement.

And that’s why Related will win a license.

If Related and Wynn win the bid (pun fully intended), I would expect Wynn to stay somewhat close to their international branding architecturally, which is a very consistent style across all of their properties (Vegas, Macau, Boston). I would 100% expect the reddish-tinted glass, horizontal banding, swooping roofline and prominent branding on the crown to be incorporated into the tower design, albeit with a much more narrow - and likely taller - massing than other properties due largely to the constraints of the site.

I was thinking the same thing, as far as coloring. But there will be no branding on the crown, the city doesn’t allow it, and they will be forced to build by city code. Therefore, I expect to see setbacks. We know Wynn currently has a supertall casino project under construction in the UAE:

Wynn unveils plans and renderings for a 1,000-foot-tall hotel-casino in UAE






The tower in New York has been described as one of the “most incredible tall buildings in New York City.”

And now this

project scale that will attract global attention

further leads me to believe that this proposal will be the tallest in the Hudson Yards district, possibly aiming for #2 in the city, maybe even surpassing the Freedom Tower. This is all speculation of course, but I try to read between the lines. One thing for certain, it will be an awesome proposal.

[Charmy2]

Imagine the Legends Tower in Oklahoma City being built in this area...now that is something that seems realistic and better looking than if it was in OKC yk.

[Sky88]

Let's hope the tower is taller than the Freedom Tower. New York deserves more...

[UrbanImpact]

If they were to include affordable housing above a casino, that would be quite the conundrum.

They’re proposing a lot of affordable housing at “Freedom Plaza”, the casino proposed at the Con Ed site. But Related has it’s own affordable housing obligations, as well as a school to be built over this side of the rails. The affordable housing most likely would go on the south side, along with the school.

[NYguy]

Finally, a look at Related’s site planning. Disregard the massings as design. We’re on the site planning stage of approval, which they will need for their casino bid…

Damn. Bigtime skyline boost.

These are tall, bulky towers. These three will really fill out the Midtown skyline. Very nice.

And at least we finally have some heights for Phase II. This will be epic.
