When you think of the west side of Manhattan, two landmarks might come to mind: the High Line and Hudson Yards developed by Related Companies.

Now, those two titans of development are at odds over a plan by Related and Wynn Resorts to build a massive resort and casino, with office space and housing, on the site of the western rail yards — the second half of the Hudson Yards development.

“We met with the High Line 10 times over the course of a couple years on this project and then we haven’t really spoken to them since last May,” Andrew Rosen, chief operating officer of Hudson Yards, said.
