Mother, Mother, No Ocean!

Apparently, singer/songwriter Jimmy Buffett won’t let a few snobby Broadway reviews daunt him from taking on the Big Apple once again. (yay Jimmy!)

Margaritaville Holdings is announcing that it plans to build a new Margaritaville Resort right smack in the middle of New York City, fins to the right of where his Escape to Margaritaville musical is currently being staged.

Located in Times Square at 560 Seventh Avenue,  the 234-room, 29-story property is expected to open in late 2020. Once complete, the $300 million project will boast several Margaritaville food and beverage concepts, a rooftop LandShark Bar & Grill and pool, retail space and more.

The Margaritaville Resort in New York City will bring a “license to chill” to the city that never sleeps with Margaritaville’s signature ‘casual-luxe’ design elements, a rooftop pool, St. Somewhere Spa and lounge areas overlooking the city’s famous skyline.

The resort will be developed by Sharif El-Gamal’s Soho Properties, in partnership with Chip and Andrew Weiss and MHP Real Estate Services.

The New York location will  join Buffett’s resort portfolio in Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi and the Caribbean to name a few.
