Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino Portsmouth have selected SB Ballard Construction to serve as General Contractor of the new Landing Hotel Portsmouth property set to be launched in early 2027, according to the operator.
SB Ballard Construction originally completed Rivers Casino Portsmouth in January 2023 as well, having served as Virginia’s first permanent casino at the time of launch.
“We are proud to continue our investment in Portsmouth and to be working again with a local company to expand our offerings for the Hampton Roads community and the Commonwealth of Virginia,” Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino Portsmouth CEO Tim Drehkoff said.
The Landing Hotel will serve as a hospitality addition to the permanent casino site, as Rush Street Gaming announced a construction cost of $65m in privately funded development.

“This project represents more than just a new hotel—it’s a continued investment in Portsmouth’s future. We’re honored to collaborate with Rush Street Gaming and Rivers Casino on The Landing Hotel, bringing together our shared commitment to quality, community and long-term growth,” SB Ballard Construction Owner and CEO Stephen Ballard said.
“From design through delivery, we’re proud to be building a landmark that reflects the strength of this partnership and the promise of this city. This is another step forward in the economic development of Portsmouth and the region.”
The Landing Hotel Portsmouth will also reportedly utilize local minority, women and veteran-owned businesses through each phase of its construction and operation.
