Silverstein Properties pitches major hotel and casino on the Far West Side near Hudson Yards
The development, called The Avenir, is slated to be a 1.8 million square foot project located just north of the Javits Center.
The developer, with partner Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment, is the 11th company to put forward a casino proposal for one of three available casino licenses that are up for grabs in the New York metro area. Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment is the owner and operator of Parx Casino in Pennsylvania, a casino that opened in January.
Silverstein and Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment will submit a proposal to the state’s Gaming Facility Location Board for official consideration through the state’s Request for Applications process. The project will be all-electric with no fossil fuels on-site and will include a number of environmentally friendly components such as energy-efficient building systems, high-recycled content, and renewable construction materials, according to Silverstein Properties.
“This site has important, unique connections to the city’s transportation systems and the Javits Center,” Steelman said in a statement. “The far West Side of Manhattan is a place rich with history, character, diversity, and opportunity.” Larry Silverstein, chairman of Silverstein Properties, purchased the full square block between West 42nd and West 41st Streets and 11th and 12th Avenues in 1984. The company owns the two luxury residential buildings, River Place and Silver Towers, across the street from the proposed Avenir project. The company, as part of a joint venture, recently won approval to build Innovation QNS, a mixed-income residential development in Astoria, Queens.
