NJ Landmark Sheraton Crossroads Hotel Demolished in 15 Seconds

Sheraton Crossroads Hotel Imploded in 15 Seconds: A New Jersey Landmark Falls A prominent feature of the New Jersey skyline, the Sheraton Crossroads Hotel, met its end on May 10, 2025, in a controlled demolition that lasted a mere 15 seconds. The hotel, a familiar sight since its opening in October 1987, had been closed since December 2023. Video footage captured by drones vividly depicts the implosion, showing the building collapsing into a large cloud of dust and debris. "It was quite a sight," commented one local resident, "I've seen it every day for years, and it's hard to believe it's gone." The 56-hectare site where the hotel stood is now vacant. While developers have yet to announce their plans for the property, speculation abounds. Rumors suggest that two large warehouses may replace the hotel. The demolition itself appears to have been executed flawlessly, with minimal disruption to the surrounding area. The swift and efficient nature of the demolition contrasts with the hotel's long presence in the community, marking a significant change to the New Jersey landscape. The future of the site remains uncertain, but the event itself serves as a reminder of the transient nature of even the most established landmarks.
