Bally’s Submits $4B Plan for Bronx Casino to NY State Gaming Board

Bally’s Corporation has submitted its proposal to the New York State Gaming Facility Location Board
for Bally’s Bronx. The $4-billion, three-million-square-foot integrated resort would be the borough’s single largest private development, according to Bally’s.

The company envisions 500,000 square feet of gaming space, an array of dining and entertainment venues and a 2,000-person event center. The submission to state gaming regulators followed a New York City Council vote in mid-June that allows state lawmakers to consider converting public parkland at Ferry Point into a casino site.

Bally’s bought the former Trump Golf Links at Ferry Point in 2023 for a reported $60 million. In a statement, the company said, “It’s an ideal location: Already a public space surrounded by a 222-acre golf course and a cemetery, bracketed by two major bridges that each carry more than 40 million cars annually, while accessible in less than 20 minutes by Public Ferry from Manhattan’s Upper East
Side.”
