On Thursday the new hotel tower at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino lifted the highest beam into place. The new hotel project will be 19 stories and will be connected to the first tower. When completed the new tower will offer 119 guest rooms. The new tower is expected to be opened next year.
The project was developed to meet the needs for more suites. The original tower was built in 2014 and offers 381 guest rooms. It is the same size as the new tower. However, the new tower will consist of 119 suites. This will bring the total amount of rooms at the hotel casino to 500.
$80 million is the cost of the new hotel tower project. Residents of the city will make up 20 percent of the work being done. Minority owned companies will make up 20 percent of the subcontractor work. When the project is completed, 50 new employment positions will be created.
In addition to the new hotel tower, there will also be a new event venue. The new room will be able to provide hosting space for conventions, large weddings, and banquets. There will also be space for back of house operations. The space will connect the casino to the tower. The new four-story addition will be 70,000 square feet.
