Most Expensive Retail Project On Earth' Coming To Meadowlands In 2017. Mall of America owners are planning a N.J. project with indoor amusement park, aquarium, ski hill, 'scented' theater, and Kosher food court a significant feature for an area with a large population of observant Jews. The Toys “R” Us plans call for a three-level, 55,000-square-foot store. An 800-room hotel is in the design stage. When complete, the 91-acre complex will be broken up into five connected sections more than a half-mile long. Skylights and large windows will bathe the crisp, clean white walls and spaces with natural light. Fresh flowers, plants, and fountains will highlight the inside and provide what Triple Five says will be a warm, inviting atmosphere when it opens in the summer of 2017.
Nearly $5 billion will be invested in the project by the time it opens, Don Ghermezian, a principal with Triple Five, told The New York Times.
”I think that makes it the most expensive retail project on earth,” Ghermezian said.
And when complete, the project will feature several impressive amenities.
For starters, it will be home to North America’s largest indoor amusement park and biggest indoor waterpark, the latter of which is being developed with Dreamworks SKG and their movie properties. An 800-foot-long indoor ski hill will be the first in the Western Hemisphere. A 300-foot-tall Ferris wheel will offer a one-of-a-kind view of Manhattan, Triple Five says.
The 150,000-square-foot food hall will feature 15 restaurants, 50 grab-and-go offerings and the world’s first Kosher food court.
The Ghermezian Mishpacha are supporters of torah and many great causes. They do a lot for kiruv and chesed. This project should have hatzlocha and beracha. It will also provide kosher entertainment for the forum community no need to run to Florida or the rockies.
