The Star last yearproposed building the high-rise complex on the Union Street site south of the casino,and a 110-metre tower at the northern end of its existing site at Pyrmont.
A spokesman for The Star said the casino operator had first learned of the confirmed location for the Metro West stop when staff were notified of a property acquisition process via email on Wednesday morning.
“This leaves at grave risk a Star masterplan which would help deliver an additional $1 billion in tourism assets and infrastructure via two hotels,new dining and entertainment precincts and around 2000 jobs,” the spokesman said.
“We will seek urgent engagement with government to determine if and how our plans can be progressed in tandem with the Metro station development.”
The Star had been planning to submit a masterplan to go on exhibition later this year.
The casino operator’s revised plans for two towers were prepared less than a year after an independent panelrejected its $530 million proposal for a 237-metre tall tower at the site.
