Real estate development is in our DNA.  Our affiliates have developed, operated or owned over $60 billion of real estate over the last half-century, including Century City in Los Angeles, Faneuil Hall in Boston and in our home-base of Chicago, we are the team behind some of the city’s landmark properties, including 900 N. Michigan Avenue, The Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the Ritz Carlton and Four Seasons.

We don’t acquire casinos; we build them–from the ground up. We’ve developed each of the six casino and entertainment properties we have operated, with five of them in major metropolitan markets including downtown Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, the Greater Toronto Area, the Capital Region of New York and in the Chicago suburbs.  Our 7th is currently underway in Virginia.  

Fallsview Casino in Niagara Falls was our first project and the $1 bln project that opened in 2004 is widely regarded as the best casino in Canada.
