Jimmy Buffett is coming to Times Square. 

Margaritaville Holdings has partnered with real estate investor Soho Properties to develop a new Margaritaville Resort in New York City's Times Square. 

The new 29-story hotel at 560 Seventh Avenue will have 234 guestrooms once it is complete in late 2020. As part of the $300 million project, the new Margaritaville hotel will share the building with retail space and a LandShark Bar & Grill. Soho Properties will develop the property with Chip and Andrew Weiss and MHP Real Estate Services.
