Site preparation for the new hotel which included demolition of a city-owned parking garage started in June 2006. Construction began in October 2006 and finished in 2009.

The hotel tower rises 344 ft. (105 m.) with 30 floors. It opened November 15, 2007 with a new 13-story, 3,500-space, free parking garage at Monroe and St. Antoine. In November 2008 25,000 square feet (2,300 m²) of additional gaming space opened over Lafayette to bring total gaming space to 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) and expanded and re-designed VIP gaming area opened February 16, 2009: a 30-story,400-room hotel attached to the parking garage. In November 2009, 25,000 square feet (2,300 m²) of convention space opened with a newly designed poker room.

Two investors group Greektown Superholdings, Inc. and Greektown Newco Sub Inc. acquired the casino hotel after former owners, the Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians, filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy protection.^[4]^[1]

In January 2013, Rock Gaming, the company of Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, agreed to buy a majority stake in Greektown, as part of Gilbert's plan to help revitalize downtown Detroit.^[5]
