The $1.7 billion Wynn resort is expected to include a luxury hotel with more than 600 rooms, along with gambling halls, a spa, spaces for retail and dining operations, a ballroom, and meeting space - totaling about 3 million square feet. Suffolk also was one of the construction companies involved early on in a rival casino proposal, at Suffolk Downs on the Boston-Revere border - before Wynn beat out that project and secured the sole casino license that was reserved for the region.įish said it was not certain which construction company would have won the final contract for the proposed Suffolk Downs resort, had it won the gaming license instead. In addition, Suffolk has worked on casinos in other states - including Dania Casino and Jai Alai in South Florida and Quechan Casino Resort in Southern California. The construction company is already well known in Boston, where it has handled a number of high-profile projects, including the Mandarin Oriental hotel, Four Seasons Hotel Boston, Liberty Hotel (formerly the Charles Street Jail), and the Boston Opera House. 'We were hoping to be considered for a project in our own backyard.' 'This business is all about relationships, and I had never met Steve Wynn,' Fish said.
