Hotel and Casino Proposal
Queens, NY

Set on the historic grounds of the old Queens Aqueduct Racetrack, this proposal reimagines an iconic New York landmark as a vibrant, contemporary destination. The project introduces a bold new image for the site—blending entertainment, hospitality, and culture to catalyze the next chapter of its storied legacy.

Envisioned as a dynamic new anchor for the borough, the development includes a full-service hotel, state-of-the-art casino, and a flexible conference center—together totaling over two million square feet of new construction. These elements are unified through a cohesive architectural language and an emphasis on public space and connectivity.

The design celebrates the site’s historic significance while projecting a forward-looking identity that engages both the local community and international visitors. Thoughtfully integrated with its surroundings, the proposal aims to revitalize the area, creating a lively, 24/7 environment that reactivates this iconic venue with new energy and purpose.
