Bringing The Diversity of Richmond
Community buy-in means everything to Urban One. That’s why they’ve worked hard to line up more than 50 local investors who bring with them diversity representative of the Richmond community.
Peninsula Pacific Entertainment
A premium developer of gaming venues
Peninsula Pacific Entertainment will be Urban One’s operating partner in ONE Casino + Resort. They are a premium developer and operator of gaming venues across the country.
Locally, they own Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent County and several Rosie’s Gaming Emporiums across Virginia, including one right here in Richmond.

ONE will feature uniquely Richmond restaurants and bars, highlighting local flavor and flair. We will showcase Richmond artists throughout the resort.
And Richmonders will help build and run ONE, as we’re using local and diverse construction firms and prioritizing local vendor relationships and hiring.
