New plans filed with the town of Hampton propose a reimagined Hampton Beach Casino complex that includes an expanded music venue, charitable gaming, a boutique hotel and 99 condominiums.

The plans reveal a six-story facility that would replace the aging Casino complex, with its most recent addition built in the 1920s and original structures dating back to 1899. The development would span from F to D Street, transforming the current back parking lot into an expanded area for charitable gaming, retail, and a new stage and ballroom for concerts.

Four levels of parking, including the rooftop, would accommodate 650 spaces, accessed from the rear of the building on Ashworth Avenue, according to the plans. The hotel would feature 204 rooms, and building plans show two floors of restaurants facing the ocean. Condos would be built overlooking both the ocean and marsh from as high as the sixth floor.
