Inside the $5 BILLION American Dream megamall as it opens its door in New Jersey | Daily Mail Online
American Dream is officially opening its doors to the public as the second largest mall in the country, and third largest in North America
  • It will showcase 3 million square feet of leasable space dedicated to more than a dozen entertainment attractions like a 16-story indoor ski slope, rollercoaster, and waterpark
  • The mall will eventually have 450 retail, food and specialty shops
  • A report from Credit Suisse published two years ago predicted that up to a quarter of the shopping malls will close by 2022 given the increasing popularity of online shopping and a rash of store closings
  • Since 2015, only nine malls have been built, a dramatic fall since peak construction in 1973, with 43 built
  • American Dream is looking to draw 45 million to 50 million visitors in its first year
  • Entertainment will account for more than half of its space, including attractions like a bunny field and an aviary
  • American Dream won't be fully operational until next spring
  • The complex will unveil the rest of the attractions like the ski slope and waterpark by the end of the year; stores and restaurants will open in March

The tower looks like something at an airport. The complex probably has an ulterior purpose.

Its shape and design suggests it could be used as long term shelter and could be retrofitted to grow food and gather solar energy for electrical power...The smaller shops turned into habitats for families and the larger open areas for growing food and social gatherings...The facility might have an underground complex with back up generators and tanks for water storage...

It's a risky investment with the current economy, but it might do well. They have a blue law there where you can't sell anything on Sunday. :eek:
