A Well Planned Site!
Perhaps one of the most advantageous attributes of the Pocono Manor Resort & Casino is its incomparable location, most notably, the highway frontage. Situated at the intersections of Routes 380, 940 and 314, the project offers indisputably better accessibility than provided on any other casino application we have seen. To further reduce impacts, the site is wrapped by a new 18-hole championship golf course, creating a wide landscape buffer to the site. At the center of the project is a 750-room hotel and casino. Design considerations were taken into account from the planning’s inception to allow for future expansion to 5,000 slot machines and 1,750 hotel rooms. Parking is accommodated through both surface and multi-deck parking garages. The man-made 12-acre lake will be a focal point at the epicenter of the project, with a signature golf hole located on an island in the lake. As indicated in the rendering at left, the resort retail shopping village lies just off the concourse of the casino to the west. This unique village will feature boutiques, galleries, restaurants and retail shops. The village will also entail residential lofts over the retail space, adding further vibrancy to the village. The golf villas adjoin the golf course and the resort retail village.
The elements will have a combined property value of just under $1.4 Billion. This project will, without question, represent the largest resort destination in northeastern Pennsylvania and virtually all of the east coast. Drawing over 3.7 million visitors to the region, the Pocono Manor Resort Casino will become an economic catalyst of unrivaled and unprecedented proportion.
