Demolition is poised to begin Tuesday for the new Bally’s casino and hotel complex at the former Tribune publishing site in the city’s River West neighborhood.
An event marking the start of demolition is planned for Tuesday morning, officials said.
In late July, Bally’s revealed it entered into a $940 million agreement with Gaming and Leisure Properties to provide funding for the project as it unveiled an “improved site plan.”
The project consists of a 34-story, the 500-room hotel tower, 3,000-seat theater and a 2-acre public park. Within the casino itself, will be six restaurants, cafes, a food hall and space for 3,300 slots, 173 table games and VIP gaming areas.
