Construction on the $270 million Live! Casino & Hotel renovation in Bossier City has started after The Cordish Companies chose AnderCorp as the project’s general contractor.
AnderCorp, which is headquartered in Gulfport, Miss., has already provided preconstruction services, design review and managed early-stage demolition of the old Diamond Jacks Casino property to set the stage for the project, which will be the first land-based casino in the Shreveport-Bossier market.
Leaders for both companies now say construction is in “full swing.” Cordish plans to open the casino in 2025.
“The vision and design for Live! Casino & Hotel Louisiana is spectacular, and we are excited to be a team member with Cordish and its designers in transforming the site into an exciting destination resort in Bossier City,” said Roy Anderson III, AnderCorp’s chairman and chief executive, in a statement.
