Stunning new video shows what a proposed glitzy $12 billion casino complex in Hudson Yards will look like while walking the High Line.
The animated rendering of the ambitious Manhattan project by Related Companies and Wynn Resorts is partly aimed at countering opposition from advocates of the High Line park and other critics who claim the plan would be too intrusive and obstruct views.
The video tries to make the case that the proposed complex — including a 5.6 acre park and spacious greenery between and around the buildings — actually blends in well with the High Line and the waterfront.
The plan features an 80-story tower overlooking the Hudson River that would house a gaming facility and hotel. Office buildings, apartment towers, and the spacious 5.6-acre park would surround the gleaming casino skyscraper.
Tourists walking along the High Line would wander directly past the site and could enter the massive resort between West 30th Street and 33rd streets and 11th and 12 avenues.
The tower housing the casino would include street-level shops and restaurants, with gaming facilities on the second and third floors. Plans call for a pool deck and green and then 1,700 hotel rooms.
The casino would make up just 3.6% of the square footage of the entire project but be its revenue generator and jobs creator.
Proponents say the centerpiece of the development would be the proposed Hudson Green, a 5.6-acre public green park designed by the award-winning teams of Hollander Design and Sasaki, as part of the a master plan devised by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.
