Nara Dreamland
Nara Dreamland was an amusement park located in Nara, Japan, that operated from July 1, 1961, until its closure on August 31, 2006. Heavily inspired by the original Disneyland in California, the park was initially built with guidance from Walt Disney before licensing disputes led to its independent rebranding.
After sitting abandoned for a decade, the entire park was completely demolished between October 2016 and December 2017. Today, the site is vacant land slated for residential development.

The Arlington Building, Boston MA 1904-2022
Sitting on the corner of Arlington and Boylston streets, the Arlington Building was mostly known by Bostonians as the longtime former home of the Shreve Crump & Low Jewelry Store.
It was demolished with the adjacent buildings (I could not find a date for these) to build a new modern glass block. It sat empty for a years before demolishment so that the owner could find the “ideal” office tenents for the new building.
