![]() To mitigate the heavy environmental impact, the remainder of the tract would have been converted into stormwater retention basins. The commercial development would have consisted of 2.1 million square feet (200,000 m 2) of retail space, a hotel, and 1 million square feet (93,000 m 2) of office space on 206 acres (83 ha) of the tract. The tract was owned by Empire Ltd., a company which had purchased the land in 1961 and had been planning a major development since 1987. Meadowlands Mills, as it was called, would have been constructed on the Empire Tract, an area of 587 acres (238 ha) of wetlands in Carlstadt, New Jersey. The Mills Corporation first began working on plans for a mall in the New Jersey Meadowlands in 1994. The exterior of the indoor ski slope in 2020 Īs of December 2021, the mall has approximately 200 tenants. Following Governor Phil Murphy's August 26 announcement that amusements could open with restrictions on September 1, Big Snow American Dream announced it would reopen on that date, while other amusements and the mall's first major retail outlets reopened on October 1. The DreamWorks Water Park, which was scheduled to open March 19, 2020, as well as the mall's retail shops and restaurants, were delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which forced the mall's temporary closure on March 8. Among the attractions that opened in 2019 were the Nickelodeon Universe theme park in October and the Big Snow American Dream ski slope in December. In late June 2017, construction had resumed, after new financing had been secured, though the project would suffer a series of "chronically delayed" opening dates. Īfter a series of ownership changes, financing issues, construction delays, and legal challenges, construction stopped again in December 2016. Triple Five Group announced intent to take over the mall in May 2011, and on July 31, 2013, officially gained control of the mall and the surrounding site. In May 2009, construction stalled due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. After the Mills Corporation's bankruptcy in 2007, the project was taken over by Colony Capital. The project was first proposed in 2003 by the Mills Corporation as the Meadowlands Xanadu, with construction beginning in 2004. The remaining opening stages occurred on October 1, 2020, and thereafter. The first and second of four opening stages occurred on October 25, 2019, and on December 5, 2019.
