Casino officials said development of the hotel was initially approved in 2017 by the Pittsburgh Planning Commission.

“The development was postponed following the approval of gaming legislation that added category 4 ‘mini-casinos’ and reshaped the Pennsylvania casino landscape,” a news release said.

Officials said the new hotel will add approximately 128 hotel and casino jobs.

It is expected that the hotel will open sometime in early 2021.
