DALLAS – Transwestern today announces it brokered the sale of a 9.24-acre, mixed-use, zoned tract of land in Arlington, Texas, to Drury Development Corp. for a full-service hotel. The property to be developed west of the Lincoln Square retail center will include a 268-room Drury Plaza Hotel and an upscale restaurant. Senior Vice President Larry Jordan and Managing Director Steve Williamson of Transwestern’s Retail Services group represented the seller in the transaction.
“Drury was drawn to the development opportunity in North Arlington due to the area’s tremendous growth, many amenities and extensive entertainment options that regularly draw hotel guests from more than 100 miles away,” said Jordan. “The Drury Plaza Hotel will be one of the first full-service hotels constructed in North Arlington’s entertainment district since the Arlington Convention Center Hotel was built on Ballpark Way nearly 20 years ago.”
Arlington is a prime location for both business and leisure, the confluence of entertainment and hospitality within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The abundance of family-oriented entertainment, sports, shopping and dining amenities in the area drew more than 14 million visitors to the city last year.
