New $700M Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia Project First Integrated Entertainment Destination in Region

Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, an affiliate of The Cordish Companies, has selected Gilbane Building Company to serve as the general contractor for the new $700-million project.

Located in the heart of the South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Stadium District, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia will transform the area into the first integrated sports, entertainment and casino resort destination in the region. The 1.5-million-square-foot facility will include 2,200 slots and electronic table games, more than 150 live action table games, an upscale 200+ boutique hotel, popular restaurants and live entertainment venues, valet parking and an approximately 2,700-space parking garage.

Gilbane will lead construction efforts, which involve total demolition of the existing Holiday Inn and adjacent buildings to make way for the new development. Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia will set a new standard for development in the city of Philadelphia and create significant economic opportunities for local residents and businesses.

The Cordish Companies has committed to a groundbreaking community benefits plan with the city that includes goals in minority and local construction and hiring initiatives including opportunities for local, minority, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses, as well as the creation of approximately 3,000 direct and indirect construction jobs.
