$101M Erie Project Sees Convention Center Open

ERIE, PA-The 136,000-sf Erie Bayfront Convention Center's doors are open, with an adjacent 203-room hotel to open by the end of March.

ERIE, PA-The Erie Bayfront Convention Center Complex has opened its doors this month, one of the largest attempts to spark Pennsylvania’ economy, according to a release. The $44-million project is part of a more than $100.9-million waterfront redevelopment project. A dedication ceremony is planned for next week.

The 136,000-sf center on the Sassafras Pier is paired with the eight-story, 203-room Erie Sheraton Hotel, still under construction on the West Dobbins Landing adjacent to the pier. A 65-foot-high pedestrian skywalk connects the two.

“The hotel is surrounded by water on three sides. The convention center is designed to look like a ship, with mast on it,” Joan Cleland, president of Acquest Realty Advisors, tells GlobeSt.com. “The views are going to be spectacular.” The skyway’s height is not just for aesthetics: it needs to be high enough to let masted ships sail under it.
