Then there’s the sprawling Exelon power plant complex, essentially next door to this project and across from the casino. “We look forward to figuring out exactly what goes in there and what it looks like and all the details once it gets permitted.” “We’re excited to be included in the conversation and trying to figure out exactly how to curate it and make it a great amenity for the casino and for the folks in Everett, and helping with that streetscape,” Kane said. Kane said he looks forward to expanding Big Night’s successful partnership with Wynn to include the property across the street. Weaver said it’s just a fortuitous coincidence that the company is moving ahead with this development after Governor Charlie Baker’s administration began advancing plans for another footbridge, one that would cross the Mystic River and connect the casino property with the Assembly T station, on the other side of the river in Somerville.īig Night already runs the Mystique restaurant and the Memoire nightclub at the Encore casino. Wynn officials say the project would improve traffic flow and safety on Broadway by sharply reducing all the stops and starts to accommodate people walking across the street. The economy is at a point where it makes sense for us.” It’s kind of the next phase of our company and how we think about growing our company footprint. “We believe that now is the time to work on the expansion. “Business has been quite good at Encore Boston Harbor,” said Michael Weaver, Wynn’s chief communications officer.

The six-acre project is scheduled to be discussed at a public hearing held by the planning board on Dec. Wynn officials said they’re in talks with Ed Kane of Big Night Entertainment Group to operate the events venue - which could accommodate everything from boxing matches to rock concerts to trade shows - and the restaurant. The company has filed an application with Everett’s planning department to build its first project on those 13 acres: a block consisting of an 1,800-seat indoor events venue, a two-story restaurant, and a 2,200-car parking garage, connected to the casino across Broadway by a 425-foot-long enclosed pedestrian bridge.

Now, the Las Vegas company is finally moving ahead with plans to turn that land into an entertainment and hospitality destination to draw people beyond just those going to the casino. For years, Wynn Resorts has amassed parcels, piece by piece, across Broadway from its Encore Boston Harbor casino property in Everett.
