Steve Cohen and Hard Rock International are partnering with Slate Property Group to add 450 affordable housing units to their proposed $8 billion casino project near Citi Field. The housing would be built two miles away at 54-19 100th Street in Corona and remain affordable for at least 60 years. This move aims to strengthen their bid for one of three downstate casino licenses. The overall plan includes a hotel, music venue, food hall, and parkland, but hinges on securing a gaming license. Applications are due in June, and competitors like the Soloviev Group are also ramping up efforts.
