Avenir Review - CLOSED Jump to comments

NEWS: On September 17, 2025, the New York City Community Advisory Committee voted down a gambling complex to be located at a site near the Javits Center to be developed by Silverstein Properties. In its application to the state, the Avenir was reportedly a projected $7 billion development with 4,000 full-time and 1,000 part-time jobs.

Larry Silverstein’s firm, the developer behind the World Trade Center, is planning a 785-foot tower on Manhattan’s West Side as part of a proposed casino complex, newly released renderings show. The project, slated for the corner of 11th Avenue and 41st Street, would feature a 1,000-room hotel, multiple restaurants, a food hall, and the Avenir casino, all under the Silverstein Properties banner.

Silverstein, in partnership with gaming operators Rush Street and Greenwood, already owns the land and can move forward without community board or City Council approval. However, the project still hinges on securing one of three available casino licenses for the downstate region. Bids are due to state regulators by June 27, with license decisions expected by the end of the year.

The withdrawal of Related Companies/Wynn Resorts in Hudson Yards and Las Vegas Sands in Nassau County from consideration makes the Silverstein proposal a serious contender.
