Construction has begun on the $750 million waterfront Norfolk Casino that should open late in 2027. A spokesperson for the casino confirmed that construction began Feb. 14.
Norfolk Casino, a joint endeavor between the Pamunkey Indian Tribe, Boyd Gaming and the City of Norfolk, plan to open a more immediate temporary gaming facility later this year.
The Norfolk-based S.B. Ballard Construction Company and Yates Construction are serving as construction managers for the project.
“These two outstanding companies are the ideal team to lead construction of our resort on the Norfolk waterfront,” said Uri Clinton, executive vice president and general counsel of Boyd Gaming. “S.B. Ballard’s proven track record in this region and extensive network of subcontractors will allow us to successfully meet our development timeline, while Yates’ unparalleled experience in casino development will help us deliver a truly market-leading resort experience.”
