Crown proposed $2b project comprises of a 275-meter high building with a luxury hotel, multi-million dollar residential apartments, retail space and a gaming floor that will cover as much as 77,500 square meters.

The license agreement states that Crown has permission to offer table games on about 15,500 square meters of space or 20% of the gross floor area based on the building size and that there is no limit to the number of table games Crown may have at the casino.
