Bally's $560M WhiteHawk Mortgage Hits the Bronx Land Records
The city record shows the lender secured the full $560M facility on land, not only the $400M already funded.
WhiteHawk Capital Partners now holds a recorded $560 million mortgage from Bally’s New York Operating Company, LLC against a single Bronx tax lot, according to the city’s land records. The instrument is dated October 1 and was recorded October 9, 2026.
Why it matters
Our October 5 report covered the SEC filing showing $400 million funded, with $160 million of delayed-draw capacity still undrawn. The recorded mortgage adds what the 8-K excerpt did not: the lender’s lien on real property is written for the full $560 million, not just the funded tranche. For contractors, suppliers and any future construction lender, that is the priority position to price around. It also pins the collateral to Bronx block 5622, lot 50, which we confirmed on the record. Broader context sits in our New York coverage.
The numbers
The ACRIS entry (CRFN 2026000288188) lists a mortgage document type with an amount of $560,000,000. Bally’s New York Operating Company, LLC is the borrower and WhiteHawk Capital Partners LP is the lender. The document date is October 1, the same day the 8-K says the $400 million tranche funded, and the recording date is October 9, a gap of 8 days. The legal description covers one lot. The entry does not tell us the interest rate, the maturity or how much of the $560 million has been drawn, so we do not restate terms from the earlier September filing as if they were on this record.
What’s next
Watch for the full amended loan agreement, which Bally’s said it will file with its quarterly report for the period ended September 30, and for any assignment, consolidation or subordination filings that follow on this lot. Any future construction lender will have to deal with this lien in the recording order. We have not checked for related satisfactions or amendments beyond the entry above, and they would appear in ACRIS under the same lot.
