Our community first policy is a cornerstone of our identity. In every community where we operate, we forge strong partnerships within the communities which we give back to and support.

Bally’s Bronx will be no exception. This project is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the Bronx! Beyond creating thousands of union jobs, the project will spur economic revitalization throughout the Bronx. This project provides jobs that will be more than 3x the average median income in the borough as a starting average salary!

Christopher JewettSenior Vice President, Bally’s Corporation

“The Bally’s commitment to The Bronx remains unwavering.
From the beginning, we have sought to build a proposal that reflects the priorities of this community—through a $625 million community benefits package that includes job creation, housing and school support, infrastructure upgrades, public safety enhancements, and a first-of-its-kind community investment program offering Bronx residents a path to ownership. Bet with Bally’s on the Bronx!“

Soo Kim Chairman Bally’s Corporation

Development Site

The Project Site will be located entirely within Ferry Point Golf Course, with minimal impact on the surrounding community.

Bally’s will purchase the development site that includes approximately 19 acres, which is currently utilized as golf course parking, the existing clubhouse, and a portion of the course practice area.

The parking area, clubhouse and practice area will be rebuilt to the highest standards approved by the New York Parks and Recreation Department and Nicklaus Golf within the remaining park (clubhouse and practice area) and within the development site (parking area).
