FORT WORTH-GlobeSt.com confirms a franchise deal has been worked out with Hilton Hotels. United Way's former HQ will be razed, paving the way for a 2011 opening.

FORT WORTH-GlobeSt.com has confirmed that the owner of a Downtown tract, now holding a 56,000-sf shuttered office building, will scrape it and build a 150-room Hampton Inn. The tentative plan is to open the hotel in 2011.

A spokesman for Beverly Hills, CA-based Hilton Hotels Corp. recently confirmed the franchisee’s project and timeframe for GlobeSt.com, but wouldn’t reveal the name of the new owner of the former United Way of Tarrant County building at 210 E. Ninth St., which has been owned by Charter Holdings LP since June 2007. Several calls to Charter Holdings weren’t returned. According to a locally published account, Pearl Real Estate, owner of two other hotels in Fort Worth, has taken the deed from the Dallas-based investment group, getting a prime infill location within walking distance of the convention center.
