The racetrack facility is constructed for 5/8-mile harness racing, with simulcasting facilities. Guests park in an eight-level precast concrete parking garage with 3,000 spaces that was built adjacent to the casino with a connection lobby. The adaptive reuse of this 48-acre site development required selective demolition of an existing Sun Shipbuilding & Drydock Plant and utilization of the building frame to build the casino structure. The complex also includes a 14,000 SF event center. Food & beverage amenities are provided by multiple restaurants ranging from casual to fine dining. The “racino” type facility was constructed in 20 months and includes a 100,000 SF gaming area with 2,500 slot machines, 75 table games and a 5,000 SF poker room. TN Ward Company performed as general contractor on the 500,000 SF casino complex and harness racing venue on the waterfront in Chester, Pennsylvania.
