A 19-story historic hotel in Arlington, Texas, was demolished on Saturday morning to clear the site for a new luxury resort development. The former Sheraton Arlington, which was constructed in 1984 to accommodate visitors to the nearby Arlington Convention Center (now known as the Arlington Esports Stadium), was the structure taken down. The demolition, which reportedly lasted less than a minute, occurred in the city’s entertainment district and was observed by a crowd of onlookers.
The former Sheraton housed 311 rooms. The site is being redeveloped to accommodate Americana, a new luxury hotel project by Loeës. This forthcoming 507-room property will mark Loeës’s third development within the entertainment district of Arlington.
The replacement resort aims to revitalize the area, replacing the structure that had served the convention center for decades. The swift demolition cleared the way for the construction of the new facility, signaling a significant update to the local hospitality landscape.
