For the Downstream Casino Resort, the JCJ Architecture/Manhattan Construction Design Build team was challenged to create a new, market responsive, regional destination that would rival the best in the nation and be fully operational in less than one year. The design team undertook site feasibility, master planning and full design services for hotel, food & beverage and associated amentities. Just 10 months and 26 days later, the Downstream Resort opened to great acclaim.

As part of the first phase of development, JCJ designed a 12-story, 222-room hotel with indoor pool, fitness room and an expansive entertainment terrace with a 5,100-seat outdoor concert venue.

Expansions were subsequently undertaken that included a multi-use entertainment/conference facility with regular live theatre and concert bookings; a 7-story, 152-room hotel including 12 single-room and 4 dual-room luxury suites; a full spa, indoor pool and expanded dining choices.
