Caesars Palace Times Square, the joint bid from SL Green, Caesars Entertainment, JAY-Z’s Roc Nation, and Live Nation to bring a state-of-the-art gaming and entertainment destination to 1515 Broadway, announced new details for a $15m commitment via their partnership with the Civil Rights Foundation to support the buildout of the Museum of Civil Rights, a new civil rights museum which will be located in Manhattan.
The Museum of Civil Rights will be a multicultural center located in the heart of New York City and dedicated to the ongoing struggle for equality. The museum will highlight the heroes and showcase the art, politics, literature, photography, film, music, posters, artifacts and video created by and for all groups who have fought for, and continue to fight for equal opportunity in New York City and the Northeast.
“Caesars Palace Times Square is more than a project—it’s a partnership with New Yorkers,” said Garrett Armwood, Vice President at SL Green. “Supporting the Museum of Civil Rights reflects our belief that progress in this city is only real when it is inclusive, and when we honor those who fought to open doors of opportunity for all. This commitment is about preserving history while investing in the future, ensuring that Times Square remains not only the crossroads of the world, but also a beacon of equity, diversity, and resilience for generations to come.”
“For decades, we’ve marched, organized, and raised our voices to demand justice. Now, thanks to this historic commitment from Caesars Palace Times Square, we will have a permanent home in the heart of New York City to tell that story,“ said Reverend Al Sharpton. “Investments like this are what set this gaming proposal apart from all the rest: a demonstrated commitment to the community they seek to be a part of. Thank you for this support, and we look forward to making this project a reality.”
This initiative reflects Caesar Palace Times Square’s broader commitment to uplifting its neighboring communities and delivering tangible, city-serving benefits beyond its four walls. This commitment is a piece of Caesars Palace Times Square’s $250m investment in public benefits that also include public safety, workforce support, emergency medical services, and health equity initiatives across Times Square and surrounding neighborhoods.
Caesars Palace Times Square is the only gaming proposal designed the New York way. The proposal would reposition an existing office building at 1515 Broadway, located in the heart of New York City’s iconic entertainment district, and will be designed with a limited number of restaurants and hotel rooms to create excess demand for dozens of existing establishments in neighboring communities. The coalition supporting the bid now includes more than 300 organizations and businesses including local restaurants, hotels, residents, unions and Broadway stakeholders who stand to benefit from—rather than compete with—this exciting new project.
