Construction of phase one of the project commenced in November 2010 and
San Diego-based KCM Group is currently managing its second and final
phase, with completion expected in late-August 2011. Sycuan Casino is
operated by the Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation and has remained open
to guests throughout the renovations. KCM Group represents the tribe and

project that will provide a greatly enhanced gaming facility for San
Diego and the area's many visitors," said Gordon Kovtun, principal of
KCM Group. "Our entire team looks forward to diligently managing design
and construction and delivering the remainder of the project on schedule
and under budget."

casino featuring specialty lighting designed to create the illusion of
water, as well as renovation of the bingo hall, reconstruction of casino
restrooms, a new video and promotions stage, and new grand stairway
linking the lower-level casino to the new table games area. For dining,
