Mahwah Sheraton Implodes in Spectacular Controlled Demolition

Mahwah Sheraton Implodes: Iconic Hotel Reduced to Rubble A controlled demolition of the Sheraton Crossroads Hotel in Mahwah, New Jersey, took place early Saturday morning, May 12, 2025, marking the end of an era for the local landmark. The implosion, which occurred shortly after 7:30 a.m., sent a massive plume of dust and debris into the sky, visible for miles around. The event attracted a crowd of onlookers, many of whom captured the spectacle on video, such as the one provided by CBS New York. "It was amazing to watch," said one eyewitness, who preferred to remain anonymous. "The whole building just crumbled in seconds. It was like something out of a movie." The demolition was part of a planned redevelopment project for the site. The hotel, known for its distinctive glass and steel design, had been a fixture on International Boulevard for decades. The redevelopment is expected to bring new businesses and jobs to the Mahwah community, offering a positive outlook for the future.
