Resorts World Casino released new renderings of its second phase in South Ozone Park, Queens. It has also announced that Plaza Construction will be the lead construction manager of the ten-story expansion project. The future four-star hotel will have 400 rooms, a two-story main entrance, an additional gaming room, conference and meeting areas, a fitness center, more dining options, and retail space. In total, this 500,000-square-foot addition is expected to create 1,000 new construction jobs. Work has already progressed to the second floor, and the first part of the expansion is set to open later this summer. Perkins Eastman is designing the new phase while Cosentini Associates is the MEP engineer. DeSimone is the structural engineer and Langan is the civil engineer.

We are grateful to our local partners for their steadfast support as we prepare for phase two of our facility.”

“Plaza Construction is proud to be contributing to the vibrancy of the Queens community with a newly expanded Resorts Worlds New York City,” said Richard Wood, Plaza Construction CEO. “Our expertise as builders of luxury residential properties and world-class hotels will be utilized in the construction of this new unparalleled gaming facility, the only one of its kind located in New York City.”

The facility will stay running during construction. The project is expected to be completed  by the end of 2020.
