I’d love to see designs like this
And designs like the Lisboa
Go up in NYC, most likely in HY. Or even outside Manhattan.
What I really want for the city is a proper red light district with all that that entails. Legal (regulated) prostitution and the love hotels that will bring, 24 hour bars and restaurants, casinos, and other non conventional entertainment venues (Esports arenas, etc)
But please no traditional “Vegas Style” casinos. They don’t look good and they’re very boring.
I don’t mind the look of traditional Vegas Style casinos, so long as they take the high road and don’t cheap out on materials and services. I would also posit that certainly going with the tried-and-true approach for the first wave of casinos wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for the outset of the new district. Crazy designs like the ones you posted unfortunately take up lots of financial resources, and while they catch the eye, they also attract tons of animosity. Maybe contextualizing the area with traditional Vegas aesthetics first may be the best way to ease the area into its new role.
Hell’s kitchen? Only if the once planned 7 stop at Tenth Ave and 41st is built.
“Officials from Related Companies have met with City Hall to discuss a proposal to build a casino over rail tracks on the far West Side.” INTERESTING!
A casino can be built anywhere there is commercial zoning, it only needs a gambling license permit.
If there is a casino at Hudson Yards, I don’t expect it to be expansive @mcart. I would expect it to be a multi level casino similar to the one that was supposed to occupy the base podium of the Crown Sydney before they lost their permit.
A casino with that kind of footprint in Manhattan would be irresponsible landuse considering the plan for the western yards is where most of the master plan’s residential programming is. In essence, the residential units on phase 2 is what is really going to pay the bills for Related. There is one large proposed office tower in phase 2, that is where i believe they would put casino if it were to happen.
Yes yes I know. I’m just dreaming because I really liked that design.
Btw does anyone know where that office tower will be located in phase 2?
Okay cool
Wow……
Massive loss of potential
Seems to me that big empty Neiman Marcus store in the Hudson Yards mall would be a good place for a casino.
That’s a good point, i assumed Facebook snapped it up.
NYpost being the dumpster it usually is.
