In March 2009, construction was stopped because of difficulties in raising the financing necessary to complete the project. In the summer of 2008 the project was officially scaled back to include just one hotel tower with 1,900 rooms due to lack of financing. Scéno Plus, a Montreal-based design firm, aided in the conceptualization and implementation of Revel's 130,000 square feet (12,000 m 2) casino. Tishman Realty & Construction, which served as construction manager for The Borgata, performed the same role at Revel. BLT Architects was the executive architect for the entirety of the project and architect of record for 75% of the facility. Arquitectonica was the design architect of the project. Ocean Casino Resort's hotel tower is the tallest structure in Atlantic City and the fourth tallest in the state of New Jersey at 710 feet high and is the second tallest casino tower in the United States.
