In a monumental stride toward its transformative vision, the Bristol casino has embarked on the first phase of its ambitious construction plans. The company has now made a significant milestone for the Bristol community.

The casino, situated at 500 Gate City Highway, formerly the location of the Bristol Mall, has been granted a construction permit for a colossal 661,713-square-foot resort. The building is also expected to stand at a six-story height with an estimated $110-million project worth.

Through an issued building permit on August 24, the Bristol city authorities nodded to this groundbreaking endeavour.

Additionally, the project’s owner, Bristol Mall Holding Company, LCC, displayed its commitment by paying a permit fee amounting to $50,000, further cementing its dedication to the development’s success.

Eager anticipation now sweeps through Bristol. The construction site for the hotel and resort is rapidly taking shape and becoming more visible from the nearby road. This has offered a tangible glimpse of progress for residents and visiting patrons.

The former mall site will be transformed into an official Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol location, boasting two hotel towers, a splendid pool, a vibrant live music venue, an array of dining establishments, chic boutiques, and a state-of-the-art convention centre.

The initial phase of the hotel will encompass 303 well-appointed rooms, a spacious convention area, a cutting-edge fitness facility, and inviting indoor and outdoor pools.

Mayor Neal Osborne of Bristol, Virginia, expressed his excitement. To Osborne, the construction at the Hard Rock Resort & Casino in Bristol is an exciting move for everyone in the city.

Osborne added that the project’s positive impact is expected to benefit the community in the next few years.

To ensure the successful realization of this colossal venture, the project is being expertly contracted and managed by the esteemed firms of TN Ward Company and BurWil Construction.

TN Ward Company, hailing from Pennsylvania, brings a wealth of experience from previous Hard Rock Casino projects, including the celebrated grand opening of the Hard Rock Casino in Gary, Indiana, in May 2021.

Representatives from the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Bristol have chosen to remain discreet on recent developments, leaving the community eagerly awaiting further updates as this monumental project unfolds.
