A superstructure permit has been issued for the construction of the hotel tower at Bally’s Chicago casino at 705 W. Chicago Ave. Planned by Bally’s Corporation, construction was recently halted due to the dumpster subcontractor’s potential ties to the mob. Construction restarted this week.

With HKS Architects on board for the project, the future Bally’s Chicago Casino will feature a 500-room, 34-story hotel tower on the southern end of the casino development near Ohio Street along the Chicago River.

The hotel tower will include a large pool spa, fitness center and sun deck, as well as a rooftop restaurant bar to enjoy the Chicago skyline. Earlier this year, the hotel tower was moved due to unforeseen underground infrastructure.
