Plans Appear To Be Moving Forward For Miami-Dade Mega Mall
CBS Miami ^ | 05/08/2018 | Gary Nelson

A mega mall and entertainment complex in Northwest Miami-Dade that would dwarf any other appears to be on course for approval, but not without controversy.

It’s called the American Dream.

It would be the largest mall in the world.

I can't imagine why anyone would build such a thing.

Construction started on the massive Xanadu mall near the Meadowlands Sports Complex in New Jersey back in 2004. The developer went bankrupt, construction was stopped multiple times over the years, and it was finally taken over by the Triple Five Group in 2013 and rebranded as the American Dream Meadowlands.

It's still not completed. The opening date -- originally scheduled for 2006 -- is now March 2019.

A double target...for Muslim terrorists and gangbanger thugs who seem to take such places over.

Mall of America — ha, ha. Bad comparison. They added an express transit line to make it easier for the ferals in Minneapolis to visit. Guess what happened.

FTA: “Environmentalists say the renderings, while pretty to look at, could have ugly results for the Earth”.

I think they should give up their homes and move to the swamp to save the Earth.

I didn’t compare it to Mall of America, I said it was the SAME DEVELOPER and how it would be marketed. Reading comprehension . . .

Here’s the presentation on YouTube.

The first 4 minutes or so are about the NY location then the Miami location takes over.

For all the doomsayers . . . FINE, STAY AWAY . . . makes lines shorter for the rest of us!

But sometimes Freepers have to jump to conclusions.

Agreed. Snarky comments are more valued here than informed ones. Fact is, this mall will cater to rich tourists, especially South Americans. That demographic already fills other south florida malls (Aventura and Sawgrass for instance, both doing VERY well). This new Mall will be wildly successful.

Merely a free “disney world” for ferals and other losers where they can harass, rob, assault at will. Good luck.

Crime city. My family wouldn't be caught dead there because if we went then we could end up dead.

Thanks but no thanks.

Long lines of customers at registers has not been a logistics issue at traditional American shopping malls for several decades.
Good for you about your optimistic outlook about malls. They are likely a relic of the past as they depended on civilized behavior from visitors.

Excellent! A couple of wildings and it will be a ghost town.

20th century concept reeling from the Internet and crime.

Parking lots should be fun too.

“Stay away” — we can agree on that! Enjoy it! I’ll be in the woods and out fishing.
