Operating in a large number of markets (with 27 offices nationwide), the company is also notable for being financially independent and one of the most financially stable general contractors. Whiting-Turner is one of the largest and most notable contractors in the United States, with the Engineering News-Record listing it as having the fifth-most revenue in the country in 2021. Though the company originally hoped to open the casino sometime in the second half of 2023, Caesars announced just a week after the selection of Whiting-Turner that the project’s original 2023 deadline was “unrealistic,” with Caesars senior vice president Robert Livingston noting that “the reality of where we’re at” will push the project’s completion back to 2024. Site work has already begun on the project - though it’s already come across a minor hurdle. Besides a large number of “operational jobs” that the project will add, construction is expected to add at least 900 jobs to the Danville area. The project includes 500 rooms as well as a full casino, with an additional 40,000 square feet of meeting and convention space. The project is projected to cost $500 million, with President and Chief Operating Officer of Caesars Entertainment Anthony Carano claiming that “Caesars Virginia will be an economic driver for the region, both as a tourist and entertainment draw and through the more than a thousand good-paying jobs the resort will create.” “We are confident Whiting-Turner, and their proven record of success, will make for an incredible partner to build the world-class resort we’ve promised the City of Danville,” said Robert Livingston, Senior Vice President of Development for Caesars Entertainment.
