Bally’s Corporation reached a major construction milestone April 30 on its permanent Chicago casino, celebrating the placement of the final structural beam at the development site at 560 W. Grand Ave.

The topping-off ceremony brought together Brandon Johnson, Ald. Walter Burnett Jr., Bally’s executive chairman Soo Kim, union leaders and members of the Chicago Community Builders Collective, along with trades workers involved in the project.

Once complete, the $1.7 billion development is expected to generate about 3,000 permanent jobs and is slated to open in spring 2027.
