It’s a full house — just no casino.
The New York City Council unanimously signed off Wednesday on a rezoning plan to supercharge Hudson Yards with thousands of new apartments, office towers and a sprawling park — after booting the controversial casino that once threatened to roll in.
Wynn Resort backed out of the $12 billion project last month citing “persistent opposition” during the rezoning process.
But Wynn’s former developer partner, Related Companies, kept working on a redevelopment plan, including with Councilmember Erik Bottcher, who represents New York City’s Third District.
“Thousands of new residents will help Hudson Yards become the vibrant, 24/7 community it was meant to be — full of life, energy, and opportunity, day and night,” Bottcher said.
The Democrat said the project to transform the open tracks of the western rail yards could add as many as 4,000 units of new housing, including 625 permanently affordable apartments. The deal marks one of the “most significant expansions of Manhattan’s housing stock in decades,” Bottcher said.
Renderings shared with The Post show two gleaming towers, sleek commercial space and a sprawling public lawn.
“And, importantly, this plan does not include a casino — it puts housing, jobs, and community first,” Bottcher said.
Related replaced the casino with luxury offices and a residential hotel.
A new recreational park in the development will now be 6.6 acres instead of the initial proposal of 5.6 acres. The new greenspace will include at least one acre of lawn.
The redevelopment will include a new public school and a daycare center.
“This project will deliver not just housing, but a neighborhood,” Bottcher said.
The entire Hudson Yards project is valued at $32 billion, making it the largest real estate development in US history, according to a press release from Mayor Eric Adams office Tuesday.
“With the historic agreement, we will finally bring this decades-long project to life and build thousands of new homes for New Yorkers in the heart of Manhattan,” Adams said.
