Newly released renderings offer a closer look at a public waterfront park planned alongside a proposed casino complex near the United Nations. Unveiled on Thursday, the new video and imagery showcase the nearly 5-acre public park planned as part of Soloviev Group’s proposed Freedom Plaza casino project. Designed by OJB Landscape Architects, the green space would feature an 18,000-square-foot central lawn, 1.2 miles of accessible pathways, a children’s play area, an amphitheater, scenic overlooks, and more.
The waterfront park is part of Soloviev Group’s broader bid for one of the state’s coveted downstate casino licenses, set to be awarded by the end of the year. First unveiled in February 2023, the Bjarke Ingels-designed Freedom Plaza proposal includes two residential towers with 1,325 apartments, two hotel towers, a museum, and a partially subterranean casino operated by Mohegan.
