Details of the planned Wynn New York City resort scheme from Related Companies and the Oxford Properties Group have been released, along with new renderings and further details about the final Phase 2 building segment at Hudson Yards.
The three-tower scheme chosen from the set of alternative proposals that was released in February calls for a 1,189-foot hotel with 1,750 rooms to be placed at the northernmost edge of the site opposite a 1,366-foot office building and across a plaza area from the x-shape third residential tower, which stands at 1,172-feet will include 1,507 units. A 5.6-acre park will complete the master plan, along with a 750-seat public school and 12,250 square feet of ground-level retail.
Included in this proposal are plans for a gaming component that could potentially earn one of three coveted casino licenses up-for-grabs in the Downstate region (which includes New York City) for $500 million apiece in 2025. Affordable housing considerations have also been accounted for, occupying a total 324 units in the residential tower. (The casino will be located in the hotel tower's podium.)
"Although the total development cost for the Western Hudson Rail Yards complex may be as high as $12 billion, as recently reported, the development cost for the Wynn New York City gaming resort is approximately $5.7 billion, excluding licensing fees and financing costs," a spokesperson for Wynn Resorts said in a statement picked up by New York YIMBY.
Construction is said to take approximately 60 months from start to completion, which is projected for 2030. No architects have been attached to the development as of yet. Related notes this is the largest single investment in the history of Manhattan's west side.

Hideous!
Looks like the luxury apartments that are currently facing the Hudson will get most of their views blocked.
Then think about the shadows.
These towers feel very generic and out of place somehow
It looks ai generated.
Given the typical approach to design - From "Let's dig up project precedents" to "Client says they like this project" - its perhaps no wonder AI greyboxes are pretty damn good at churning out iterations of previous work.
In the first picture, if you look just above the youknowwhat you can see the Empire State Building! (Squint.)

the summary that goes with the images says no architects attached yet. Could be wrong but the way I read that point is that this is a master plan, not the actual buildings. That would explain the generic vibe.
I love golddddddd
Funny the attempt to warm up the cold glass of Hudson Yards pt 1. As I've said before, NYC will continue to put up trash until they learn the lessons of bureaucrat anti-design, which will never happen with Kimmelman at the NYTimes. Instead of this garbage NYC could have had the Holl plan with a big suspended park in the middle at half the cost.
You can tell the mildly interesting tower on the right is just filler for the Casino on the left to get the project approved. It will quickly vanish.
Removal of the Vessel should be a prerequisite for permitting any development of Phase 2.
So ordinary. Using the Empire State Building in the illo only proves the point.
