Hann Philippines, Inc. proudly announces its major expansion project for Hann Casino Resort, its flagship property at the heart of Clark Freeport Zone. This reinforces their commitment to leadership excellence in gaming and hospitality, and real estate development in Central Luzon. Since it opened in 2021, Hann Casino Resort's impressive architectural structure has become an iconic landmark of Clark, located at the prime corner of M.A. Roxas and Claro M. Recto Avenues. Standing on the 11-hectare property is officially the first fully-integrated resort in Central Luzon. With three years of growth in Clark, the positive outlook for tourism and gaming in the region are significant indicators to proceed with an expansion plan that will address current market demands and introduce new concepts that will excite our discerning markets and lifestyle seekers.
Project concept and timeline
The expansion project adds an impressive 22,113 sqm to the existing Hann Casino Resort, creating a vibrant space for both gaming and non-gaming activities. With 5,093 sqm dedicated to gaming, the ground floor area of 3,590 sqm will be for over 60 new gaming tables and more than 500 slot machines at the second-floor area of 1,504 sqm will be for private gaming and dining.
Part of the expansion project is a set of brand-new concepts for the cafe and restaurants. On the second floor of the VIP gaming area will be for a specialty restaurant that will serve Korean, Japanese, and Chinese fine dining options.
On the ground floor will be a casual dining experience of this flavorful East Asian cuisine from Korea, Japan, and China. At the crossings that lead to the new wing/ expansion area will be an amazing central coffee and tea haven that will take everyone on a journey to the Silk Road with its wide range of coffee and tea selections sourced from all over the world. Every cup tells a tale. This sanctuary blends naturally into a friendly cocktail and wine lounge in the evenings for a cozy nightlife.
The first phase of the expansion project will be completed by the 4th quarter of 2025. The target full completion is in the first quarter of 2026.
