Potawatomi Hotel in Milwaukee, expansion rendering<\/p><\/div>\n

Forest County Potawatomi Community unveiled plans for the construction of a second tower at the Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee. Pending city approvals, the 180,000-square-foot expansion will add 119 rooms and suites for a total of 500 keys. The owner and operator of the hotel expects to start construction later this year and estimates the total investment at $80 million.<\/p>\n

The LEED Gold-certified Potawatomi Hotel & Casino is located on the shore of the Menomonee River at 1721 W. Canal St., about 3 miles west of downtown Milwaukee. Opening in 1991 as a bingo hall, the property underwent several expansions and now features seven restaurants, 2,500 slot machines, 100 table games and a 500-seat theater, with the hotel\u2019s first phase debuting in 2014. The new tower will also add a spa and additional meeting space to the property\u2019s already operational 60,000 square feet.<\/p>\n

“By adding nearly 60 suites to the property with this expansion, we’re prioritizing our casino guests and their experience when visiting,”<\/em> said Rodney Ferguson, COO of Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, in prepared remarks. “The rooms, along with the spa, will bolster the property’s reputation as an attractive destination for visitors in the region and beyond.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The owner expects to open the second tower in the spring of 2019. Currently employing nearly 2,700 people, the Milwaukee hotel<\/a>\u00a0will add an extra 50 permanent jobs upon completion.<\/p>\n
