Oak Street Real Estate Capital has purchased the 30-acre site of the former Chicago Tribune publishing center for $200M in a sale-leaseback deal with Bally's that will help fund a $1.7B casino, hotel and entertainment complex the gaming giant plans to build on the site.
The complex, Chicago's first casino, was approved by the city in May.
