Rendering of new complex (Related Companies and Wynn Resorts)
Stephen Ross’ Related Companies unveiled its plans for a new $12 billion casino and resort complex for New York City. The casino will be located in the Hudson Yards area on the west-side of midtown Manhattan, and will be operated by Steve Wynn’s Wynn Resorts, if the plan is approved.
Gambling is coming everywhere in America these days. New York is expected to authorize the establishment of a number of casinos there. Las Vegas beware!
Related Companies and Wynn Resorts said the resort will anchor the undeveloped Western Railyard with a 5.6-acre park and “unprecedented neighborhood investment.” Hudson Yards West will create 35,000 union construction jobs and 5,000 permanent careers in the resort.

“As the leading designer, developer, and operator of premium gaming resorts in the world, Wynn New York City will attract luxury and aspirational travelers to our destination resort in Hudson Yards. Wynn guests consistently spend more when they travel. That results in greater tax revenues for the City and State and more spend in the local community, all with less foot traffic than might be required at other resorts,” said Craig Billings, CEO of Wynn Resorts.
“Wynn New York City will be a catalyst for the development of the entire western half of Hudson Yards,” they said.
