Wynn Resorts and Related Cos. unveiled renderings showing Hudson Yards West, the second phase of the Hudson Yards megadevelopment on Manhattan’s far west side, The Architect’s Newspaper is among outlets to report. With Wynn Resorts in the mix, a casino resort is part of the plan: specifically, a five-story podium containing a casino with a tapered, 80-story hotel tower above. The casino hotel and two other towers — a 1,366-ft-tall office tower and a residential tower of unspecified height — would together anchor the property on the currently undeveloped Western Rail Yards. Also on the drawing board are 5.6 acres of publicly accessible landscaped space that integrates with the adjacent High Line, which the residential tower would straddle. An architect has not yet been named, and the plan faces numerous hurdles, including “lengthy land-use and environmental impact reviews” and success in obtaining one of three gaming licenses that will be issued in NYC later this year. If all goes smoothly, construction will take approximately five years to complete.
