The podium is poured, and concrete is setting for the seventh level of the 34-story hotel tower at Bally’s Casino at Erie Street and the Chicago River in River West. At the north end of the tower, setup of the construction hoist is in place as a housing to cover the loading dock is built out.

Plans have been revealed for a residential development at 930 West Huron Street in River West.
