Bally's Chicago is facing a setback as it needs to relocate its planned 35-story, 400-room hotel tower at the Freedom Center casino site in order to avoid damaging city water pipes near the Chicago River. Initial plans for the hotel tower could potentially cause damage to the water pipes, leading to the need for a revised design for the permanent casino and entertainment complex. This decision comes after the discovery that the original plans could affect the city's infrastructure. Bally's has already submitted a new building application without the 500-foot hotel tower, signaling a significant change in their development plans.
