Robert Landino, a former developer of Dunkin' Donuts Park, has been named CEO of an Atlantic City casino.

"It's what's next in Atlantic City. We are thrilled to share our brand with the public and to introduce a new era of resort and entertainment," Landino said in a press release this week touting the arrival of TEN, the new name for the former Revel Resort and Casino.

Landino goes on to say that the name, joined with the casino's infinity logo, "represents our mission to provide the highest-rated amenities and our daily endeavor to offer an infinitely perfect escape for our guests, families and businesses.

The $2.4 billion Revel complex, which includes a casino, a hotel, concert venues, and restaurants, opened in April 2012 and closed in September 2014 after declaring Chapter 11 bankruptcy twice according to media reports. It was sold in April 2015 to Florida real estate developer Glenn Straub's Polo North Country Club for $82 million.

Landino is also CEO of Middletown-based Centerplan Construction Co., which, along with DoNo Hartford, was terminated from the Dunkin' Donuts project in June after missing a deadline to hand the stadium over to the Hartford Yard Goats minor league baseball team.

The developers sued the city claiming they were wrongfully terminated and are also seeking and injunction to prevent the ballpark from being completed by another construction company.

Work ceased on the project in early June and has yet to resume. However, the city and the bonding surety guaranteeing completion of the stadium said earlier this month that they have an agreement in principle to get the $71 million, publicly financed project going again.

Last week, a report from the project's architect outlined numerous issues related to the quality of workmanship throughout the 6,000-seat ballpark.

Landino told The Courant in an interview in July that he was working on a deal to be part of Revel's resurgence and that if he was successful, Centerplan could still handle completing Dunkin' Donuts Park if chosen to finish construction.

"We have six to eight active projects and six to eight in the queue," Landino said at the time. "It's what we do."

Landino's biography included in the press release announcing the new casino notes that he "founded and helped grow several industry leading firms" and mentions BL Cos. and Dolan Clothing of Los Angeles by name. It also mentions that he has also served as the chairman of the board of directors for Greenskies Renewable Energy LLC.

It also notes that he has directed the development of more than one million square feet of real estate, including hotels, retail, residential and mixed use projects and lists Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Rite-Aid and Stop & Shop as clients.

It does not mention his affiliation with Centerplan or the Dunkin' Donuts Park project.

Landino was not immediately available for comment Friday.
