Quintain Estates and U.S. casino firm Caesars Entertainment have formed a joint venture to turn the area around Wembley Stadium into a $600 million (335 million pounds) leisure and gambling resort.
Last month, the government gave Quintain approval to redevelop the land by the stadium, the site of England's World Cup victory in 1966 which is being rebuilt.
Quintain said at that time it expected to start building by the end of the year and planned for the first new areas of public space to be ready in time for the reopening of the stadium in 2006.
The project is still subject to planning approval and reform of Britain's gambling laws, which are expected to be overhauled in a new Act that should begin its passage through parliament later this year"
