TEN (formerly Revel Casino Hotel Atlantic City) is a resort, hotel and casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, United States. It is the northernmost casino on the Atlantic City Boardwalk, located on 20 acres (8.1 ha) of land, adjacent to the Showboat Hotel. Revel opened on April 2, 2012. After declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy for the second time, Revel closed on September 2, 2014. Revel was the third of four Atlantic City casinos to close in 2014.
Later that month, on September 11, 2014, the casino reached a deal to sell itself to Glenn Straub's Polo North Country Club, a developer based in Florida, for $90 million, a fraction of the cost of construction. The plans fell through, and Revel was planned to be sold at a September 30, 2014 auction to Brookfield Asset Management for $110 million. However, on November 19, Brookfield Management backed out of the deal. On April 7, 2015, Revel was sold to Polo North Country Club for $82 million. Straub's tennent and new management of the property announced plans to reopen Revel under the name TEN.
TEN's hotel tower is the tallest structure in Atlantic City and the second tallest in the state of New Jersey at 710 feet, and the second tallest casino tower in the United States.Arquitectonica was the design architect of the project.BLT Architects was the executive architect for the entirety of the project and architect of record for 75% of the facility.Tishman Realty & Construction, which served as construction manager for The Borgata, performed the same role at Revel.Scéno Plus, a Montreal-based design firm, aided in the conceptualization and implementation of Revel's 150,000 square feet (14,000 m2) casino. In the summer of 2008 the project was officially scaled back to include just one hotel tower with 1,900 rooms due to lack of financing. In March 2009, construction was stopped because of difficulties in raising the financing necessary to complete the project. Revel resumed construction in February 2011 after new financing was secured, and opened with 1399 rooms.
