Mall of America: Nation's largest no longer?
The Mall of America's reign as the nation's largest shopping mall may be ending.
Triple Five, the company that owns the mall, plans to build an even grander shopping mecca in Miami. The company announced that it is acquiring property and beginning plans to develop a building it's calling "American Dream Miami."
In a press release the company said, "It is our intent that this project ... will exceed our other world-famous projects in all respects."
According to the Miami Herald, the proposed mall will include an amusement park, a skating rink, water park, and an indoor ski slope.
Triple Five did not respond to requests for details about the Miami project.
Correction (March 6, 2015) An earlier version of this story incorrectly reported features of a similar New Jersey "American Dream" project as those of the Miami project.
