World Trade Center developer Larry Silverstein strengthened his bid to open a casino on Manhattan’s Far West Side with an addition to his team that already has a foothold in the Empire State gaming industry. Silverstein Properties will be joined by gaming operator Rush Street — which operates Rivers Casino and Resort in Schenectady — as it looks to build the Avenir, a casino and 46-story mixed use complex on vacant property at 11th Avenue and 41st Street. “We are excited to announce our partnership with Rush Street Gaming, as well as Greenwood Gaming and Entertainment to create a home-grown entertainment complex on Manhattan’s Far West Side,” founder and chairman Larry Silverstein said in a statement.
