American Dream Miami…Country’s Largest Shopping Mall to Call South Florida Home Posted on June 29, 2018 by Michael Light After many years of back and forth, its seems legit that Miami will sooner than later be home to the largest shopping mall in the entire country…’American Dream Miami.’ Some people are wondering why Triple Five, the developers of Minnesota’s Mall of America, would move forward with plans to build the country’s largest mega mall in South Florida at a time when brick-and-mortar shopping seems to be at an all-time low. But, this mega mall seems to be more of a mini Disney World meets Downtown Disney type of mall with an emphasis on experiential offerings over commercial goods, instead of a traditional box mall, according to the Wall Street Journal. Spanning nearly 174 acres along the Florida Turnpike in Miami Lakes, American Dream Miami will be more of an entertainment district, offering indoor rollercoasters, skating rink, water park, lagoon with submarine rides, artificial ski slope, outdoor fishing center, miniature golf and a performing arts center. The $4 Billion, 6.2-million-square-foot complex will also include a luxury hotel consisting of 2,000 hotel rooms to accommodate some of the 30 million annual visitors that are expected to visit the entertainment complex. Currently, the developers have secured zoning approval from the Miami-Dade County Commission, but are now in the process of securing environmental and water permits for the mega project.

Posted on March 11, 2015 by Michael Light American Dream Miami Mall (Credit: TheNextMiami) The developer of the Mall of America in Minnesota, Triple Five, recently released renderings of a $4 Billion, proposed mega-mall coming to Miami, dubbed American Dream Miami. American Dream Miami Mall is anticipated to be the largest mall in the entire country, surpassing the now largest Mall of America in Minnesota. This mega-project will be situated on approximately 200 acres at the intersection of the Turnpike and I-75 and will include residential condo residences and luxury hotel units. This highly-anticipated project will also include water ballet fountains, an indoor theme park, waterpark and beach, submarine ride, aquarium with live reef, a ferris wheel that will overlook the ocean at the top, an ice-skating rink, simulated ski slopes, a Legoland and a 16-screen theater.

I think this is great news for the Miami real estate market, specifically the Miami condo market. Individuals, as well as Miami condo investors, will be even more excited to buy Magic City real estate when it will soon be home to the largest mall in the entire U.S. Stay tuned for more information on the luxury condos at American Dream Miami.
