Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon held a topping off ceremony which included construction team members hoisting the final steel beam and securing it to the top of the structure. The property is scheduled to open in late 2025, with phase two set to be completed in an estimated 20 months to complete the entire hotel and casino.
“The topping off ceremony represents the completion of a building’s structure, but it also symbolizes much more, it signifies the strength of teamwork, the foundation of future growth and the community impact this project will have. We look forward to the grand opening in 2025,” Tejon Tribe Chairman Octavio Escobedo III said.
“I also want to thank all the hard-working team members on the construction side who have made our project a success and for your efforts in building a world class project in Kern County.”
Good to know: The project is expected to create approximately 2,000 construction-specific jobs and will be managed by the Penta Building Group
Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon will be more than 700,000 sq ft, of which 150,000 sq ft will be gaming space, featuring 3,000 slots, 48 table games and video poker.
According to the announcement, the project is expected to create approximately 2,000 construction-specific jobs and once both phases are completed, around 5,000 direct and indirect jobs will be introduced as well.
“Today marks a significant milestone as we place the final beam atop the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tejon,” Hard Rock International COO Jon Lucas said.
“This property represents our continued commitment to delivering world-class entertainment and hospitality while fostering a strong partnership with the Tejon Indian Tribe. We are excited about the economic opportunities this project will bring and look forward to the lasting positive impact it will have on the region for years to come.”
The beam itself was transported to the site for current team members to have the chance to sign it in order to share in the celebration. The onsite construction teams also had the opportunity to leave their signatures on the beam as a representation of their efforts on the project.
