One example is a 40X20-foot hyper realistic digital waterfall at the Empire Bar – a prominent feature that celebrates local landmarks such as the Kaaterskill Falls and provides visitors with a new and unexpected experience. The design takes advantage of the building’s location and allows visitors to engage with the outdoors and appreciate the seasonal attributes of the landscape.

An indoor water-park, an entertainment village and a Rees Jones-designed “Monster” golf course are part of the master plan.Īs a focal point of the Resorts World Catskills design, JCJ incorporated the textures and colors of the Catskills into the exterior materials and building forms to balance the natural surroundings. The resort also includes indoor and outdoor pools, a spa, an exterior terrace and a 27,000 SF Epicenter which can accommodate 2,500 seats for events or 1,400 for banquets. The property includes an 18-story hotel tower with 332 hotel suites, featuring 12 penthouse suites, eight garden suites and seven two-story villas, all designed to meet 5-star and 5-diamond standards. Set on the 1,800 acre site in the heart of New York's Catskill region, the 1.6 million square foot project features upwards of 150 game tables, 2,150 slot machines and 10 unique bars and restaurants. JCJ has been a key participant in the property’s design since it began in 2012, working with the casino team to develop a comprehensive response which exceeded the requirements of the New York State Gaming Commission’s RFA (Request for Applications) to win the highly competitive gaming license for this property. JCJ Architecture is providing comprehensive planning and design services for Resorts World Catskills, a large-scale, multifaceted development located just one hour north of New York City.
