Looks like, Bart Blatstein ready to strike again in Atlantic City.

Plans are in motion for the owner of Showboat, Playground Pier, and a nice chunk of the Inlet waterfront to transform historic Garden Pier.

Located across from the shuttered Revel & Showboat casino properties, Garden Pier is situated at New Jersey and the Boardwalk. It’s now home to the Atlantic City Historical Museum and Art Center.

Atlantic City City Council is expected to name Blatstein the redeveloper of Garden Pier and will have 90 days to execute a final deal.

Even with Atlantic City city in the middle of a non-stop ‘S’ storm, Blatstein and other developers like John Longacre and Glenn Straub are being contrarian. They keep buying up properties. Smart.

Blatstein wants the 100 year old pier to become an entertainment destination with art, music, food…all within steps of HIS future hotel rooms, retail, food and gaming operations. Sounds good to us.
