The property formerly known as Atlantic Club, Hilton and the original Gold Nugget, could become a hotel and family entertainment complex featuring water parks.
Endeavor Property Group of Devon, Pa., want to transform The Atlantic Club which has been sitting idle since it closed in January 2014.
Executives from Endeavor presented their plans during a CRDA public hearing on Thursday, July 3. CRDA; Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, is a NJ state agency that oversees planning and zoning for AC’s Tourism District.
- CRDA Engineering & Planning like what they saw. Gave plan a thumbs up.
- Endeavor still negotiating to buy Atlantic Club from TJM Properties Inc.
- Endeavor hopes to open complex by winter of 2016-2017.
- The property has 809 rooms. Some could become condo and timeshare.
A proposed 81,000-square-foot indoor water park would be main focal point.
The huge waterpark would be built on a surface parking lot formerly used for the Atlantic Club. Operating as a year-round attraction, the water park would include a surf area, a wave pool and water slides.
Another indoor water park would be more adult focused. It would be on the Boardwalk side and would feature swim-up bars. Beachfront bars and restaurants would operate year-round. There would be no casino gambling.
