Jay-Z sees his multibillion-dollar Times Square casino plans as “an extension of the energy and action that makes New York the city it is,” noting in a new interview that he believes the idea simply “makes perfect sense.”
Speaking with Ralph R. Ortega for City & State, the Roc Nation founder pointed to the Caesars Palace Times Square partnership with SL Green as an example of an opportunity with the potential to “shift culture while uplifting communities.” As for the locale, Jay argued the casino space “doesn’t compete with Times Square” but instead “complements it.”
Jay isn’t alone in his plans. As previously reported, three potential licenses in the area are up for grabs, but Jay believes his “makes the most sense” for NYC.
