New Frontier is now owned by Steve Wynn
Steve Wynn has purchased the parcel across the strip from Wynn Las Vegas that was formerly the New Frontier and was supposed to be the site of a resort called Alon.
In a complicated deal that involved additional land not owned by the principle seller, Wynn acquired 38 acres for $336 million ($8.8 million per acre).
Before Alon, the site was purchased in 2007 for $1.2 billion by a group out of Israel that intended to build a resort called the Plaza. No immediate plans for the parcel were announced and nothing is expected immediately given Wynn’s full plate of development in Las Vegas and Boston, but it’s the latest wild card on the fast-developing north strip scene.
