Packer bets big in Las Vegas
Tuesday Jul 24 15:00 AEST
James Packer is placing his biggest bet yet with a proposal to build the tallest tower in the United States on the famed Las Vegas strip.
A PBL-led consortium first publicly announced plans to build last year but industry analyst are shocked at the scope of the plan revealed this week.
If approved, the Crown Las Vegas will soar 575m and dethrone the 527m (including antenna) Sears Tower in Chicago as the tallest skyscraper on the American continent.
It will also be taller than the most recent world record holder for complete skyscraper — the 508m (including spire) Taipei 101 in Taiwan — but will be dwarfed upon completion by the 800m Burj Dubai, which is already 512m tall at this stage of construction.
The Crown Las Vegas development will include restaurants, a shopping complex, a spa and a convention centre alongside the usual gambling attractions, with an observation deck and outdoor terrace on the top floor.
But the proposal faces some high hurdles.
One is location: Crown Las Vegas is to be built at the northern end of the strip, which has been largely ignored by the new wave of developers who have made Las Vegas family-friendly in recent decades.
Another is bureaucracy, with the proposal already being flagged for "punching" into the city's airspace and possibly threatening flight paths.
The US Federal Aviation Authority sent the Crown Las Vegas consortium a "notice of presumed hazard" about the development last November and it is believed the FAA argues any development over 200m could constitute an air hazard.
But one of PBL's consortium partners, Texan property developer Chris Milam, dismissed the concerns the following month.
"As far as the FAA is concerned, any building over 200 feet (60m) tall within a five-mile (8km) radius of Las Vegas airport is determined by regulation to be a hazard to air navigation," he said.
"So, every hotel on the strip is an obstruction, technically. That's why they issued (the notice of presumed hazard).
"We think that will ultimately be found to not be a hazard and that's where we wanted to be." |
