United States – Bally’s Chicago marked a topping-off ceremony at its permanent casino facility located at 560 W. Grand Ave. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson participated alongside Alderman Walter Burnett Jr., Bally’s executive chairman Soo Kim, union representatives, members of the Chicago Community Builders Collective (CCBC), and construction workers involved in the project.
The event concluded with the time-honored tradition of signing, lifting, and installing the final structural beam.
The $1.7 billion project is planned for completion in spring 2027. As part of a broader redevelopment initiative covering 30 acres on the former site of the Chicago Tribune Freedom Center, the facility will feature 3,400 slot machines, 173 table games, and 10 dining and beverage outlets. It will also include a 500-room hotel tower with a rooftop bar, a 3,000-seat entertainment theater and events center, and 3,300 parking spaces.
Bally’s executive chairman Soo Kim stated: “This marks a significant milestone for Bally’s Chicago and reflects the outstanding dedication of the union tradespeople and partners who have brought this achievement to fruition. We are proud of our progress thus far and look forward to advancing to the next phase as we create a one-of-a-kind destination for residents of Chicago.”
To date, over 1,000 skilled tradespeople have contributed to the project. Upon completion, it is anticipated to generate approximately 3,000 permanent jobs. Bally’s Chicago at Medinah Temple, the company’s current temporary venue, began operations in September 2023.
