The Bally’s Casino hotel tower is starting to sprout upward, as construction crews from The Chicago Community Builders Collective continue their work on the 34-story, 500-room hotel in River West.
The Chicago Community Builders Collective is a joint venture of contractors that includes Gilbane Building Company, Brown & Momen Inc., d’Escoto Inc., Milhouse, Powers & Sons Construction, SQN Associations, Ujamaa Construction Inc., and Riteway-Huggins Construction Inc. McHugh Concrete is the concrete contractor. That large team is very much needed, as the hotel and its conjoined casino are expected to open in December 2026.
