A Feral Wonderland!............................
Mall Rat Central is the proposed name. Blood-Crips Complex with MS-13 annex is another. I will avoid.
"...huge mall..."
I prefer the mall in Boca.
Seems kind of odd to build something like that when you can type in “Dead Malls” on a You Tube search and see some rather interesting videos.
I would visit that mall. Only once. In the daytime. To watch the natives at play.
It will be an eyesore and English will not be heard there.
New name for it.
Flash Mob Central
I thought that most malls are struggling because of competition from Amazon and other on-line retailers. The mall nearest me is downsizing its retail capacity and replacing it with housing units, mostly apartments.
Can’t see in the article. Anyone know who the developers are? With that can see the future and where the connections are.
The Adventura mall, North Miami, is somewhat fun to watch the tourists from South America walking out with arm loads of bags of good they can’t get where they live. Incredible the money spent.
Interesting...the developers aren’t named it the article, just their mouthpiece.
Maybe they’ll have a drug paraphernalia shop, a penicillin clinic, an abortion clinic and a funeral parlor all under one roof. One stop shopping.
At a time when the mall concept is rapidly declining.
There must be federal dollars involved somewhere.
Will this be a Hispanic, African, or European mall?
Nice to see most of the commenters have no clue what is being built. To the poster who likes the Boca mall . . . I live in Boca, it’s almost only for shopping . . . have fun, that Mall bores me.
This is well beyond that . . . many entertainment features, lots of fun stuff for the kids. Indoor pool and beach, waterslides, ‘ski’ slopes, ferris wheel, etc. A place for locals who don’t want to pay $100 a day per person to go to Disney. Even Cirque de Soleil.
This will be marketed to the Latin traveler just like Mall of America (same developer) is marketed to the Canadian visitor. Just like cruise ships get more entertaining each iteration so is something like this. Perfect location too! Near I-75 meets the Sawgrass (80 miles from Naples and two hours or less for Ft. Myers is an easy day trip from there). Easy to get to from the Cruise port in Ft. Lauderdale, right off the end of Alligator Alley, etc. Also near the Miami and Ft. Lauderdale Airports.
But sometimes Freepers have to jump to conclusions.
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.
A new place for the utes to play knock-out
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.
Merely a free “disney world” for ferals and other losers where they can harass, rob, assault at will. Good luck.
