Bally’s Corporation submitted two proposals for a City of Chicago casino, featuring two prospective sites for a world-class resort and entertainment destination. Each proposal represented a potential $1.6 billion investment in developing a flagship property on a currently underutilized site: the Tribune Project, situated at Chicago Avenue and Halsted Street; or the McCormick Project, at the McCormick Place Truck Marshaling Yard. Bally’s community-first approach emphasizes local opportunities for minority partners, suppliers and other Chicago stakeholders.
DMA assisted with the development of the Bally’s Chicago proposals. From among five submitted proposals, the City of Chicago selected Bally’s Tribune Project to move forward.
