Triple Five Group in the context of American Dream Meadowlands

American Dream is a large retail and entertainment complex in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, Bergen County, New Jersey, and is the second largest mall in the United States behind the Mall of America. Its four opening stages occurred on October 25, 2019; December 5, 2019; October 1, 2020; and September 17, 2021.

The project was first proposed in 2003 by the Mills Corporation as the Meadowlands Xanadu, with construction beginning in 2004. In 2007, the project was taken over by Colony Capital. In May 2009, construction stalled due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. 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. Following a series of ownership changes, financing issues, construction delays, and legal challenges, construction stopped again in December 2016.
