The drama surrounding project CityCenter has finally come to an end. For the past several months the future of CityCenter was up in the air due to financing issues. Their partner, Dubai World had gotten into a disagreement about the project and MGM Mirage was forced to cover the additional payments. Things came to a head when Dubai World filed suit against MGM Mirage over the project.
Now all those issues are just water under the bridge. According to sources late Wednesday night MGM Mirage and Dubai World reached an agreement. There is a new revised partnership agreement has resolved the issues between Dubai World and MGM Mirage. Dubai World will reimburse MGM Mirage for the equity payments it was forced to make to lenders on behalf of the partnership during the litigation. Dubai World and MGM Mirage will fund the remaining $800 million in equity contributions to CityCenter through letters of credit. The project is still on schedule to open in phases starting later this year. Roughly half of the high rise condos in CityCenter have been sold to date.
