Packer's Sydney casino to be “iconic”
Crown Resorts Chairman James Packer said, in a statement, he was extremely impressed with the quality of the designs. "Sydney deserves one of the world's best hotels and these amazing architects have all delivered.
"With these sorts of designs, Crown Sydney will be the most iconic building constructed in this city since the Opera House. Whoever ends up winning - it's guaranteed to be a masterpiece," Packer said. He added he wanted the building to be instantly recognisable around the world and feature on postcards and memorabilia promoting Sydney.
The judging panel is made up of members from Crown Resorts, Lend Lease, the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure.
The final building design will require approval by the Barangaroo Delivery Authority and planning approval from the NSW Department of Planning and Infrastructure. The hotel will have about 350 guestrooms and suites above a high rollers casino.
The Crown proposal is currently in Stage 2 of the NSW government's unsolicited proposal process.
