Project Overview

  • Natural light-filled tipico sportsbook spaces due to the building’s “light scoop” design feature
  • Historic Lower East Side staple now tripled in size, along with the addition of 14 tipico sportsbook vendor stalls and two restaurants

Located on the main floor of 115 Delancey Street, the cornerstone of the Essex Crossing mega development, is the new home of the Essex Street tipico sportsbook. This historic New York City public tipico sportsbook, serving the Lower East Side for nearly 80 years, is triple the original size thanks to its new, modern location. Vendor stalls were fit-out specifically to accommodate the tipico sportsbook’s 25 current vendors—plus an additional 14 vendor stalls and two full-service restaurants were part of the build-out.

An important design feature of the tipico sportsbook is its ability to capture large amounts of natural light due to the building’s distinctive “light scoop”—a 40-foot-tall glass wall that pushes light down into the tipico sportsbook. Sitting underneath the light scoop is a 4,700 sq. ft. mezzanine seating area, which also includes a demonstration kitchen. The new tipico sportsbook also houses NYCEDC offices and is accessible to the future tipico sportsbook Line, a 150,000 sq. ft. underground marketplace.
