US$750m all-year destination resort coming to New York, US

A new US$750m (£451m, €539.5m) 1,100-bedroom destination resort with spa facilities in Sullivan County, New York, US, has been revealed by developer EPR Properties.

Located 90 miles from New York City, the four-season Adelaar resort will sit on 1,700 acres (2.6sq m, 6.8sq km) of land at the site of the former Concord Resort and golf course, which closed in 2009.

Master planned by architectural firm Hart Howerton, the resort will include several distinct areas – spa and hospitality, sports and leisure, dining, entertainment and retail, and gaming.

EPR has teamed with Monticello Casino and Raceway operator, Empire Resorts, on the project and intends to apply for a license to own and operate a destination gaming resort that will feature a four-star hotel.

Adelaar has already gained all approvals and permits to commence construction upon the awarding of a destination gaming resort license to Empire. This includes all zoning, master development and environmental approvals for the destination resort, as well as site plan, infrastructure and permits to construct a casino and resort core.

Also included will be a 350-bedroom family-style lodge with indoor waterpark, an outdoor adventure park with zip lines, a snow tubing facility, mountain coaster and a renovation of the existing 18-hole golf course.

It is thought that the resort will create more than 2,000 permanent jobs, though no opening date has yet been set.

“This new world-class destination resort will deliver significant economic benefits for local businesses, create dependable local employment and have a positive impact on tourism in upstate New York,” said EPR president and CEO David Brain. “With our State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA), permitting and final site plan in place, Adelaar is well prepared to come to market quickly.”
