American Dream Meadowlands

American Dream seen from across the Hackensack River in Secaucus, New Jersey American Dream Meadowlands (ADM) is a retail and entertainment complex under construction in the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey that will contain over 500 stores. It was first proposed in 2003 by the Mills Corporation as the Meadowlands Xanadu. After the bankruptcy of that company in 2007, the project was taken over by Colony Capital. In May 2009, construction stalled due to the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers. The 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. After a series of hand-offs, financing issues, construction delays, and legal challenges, construction stopped again in December, 2016. In July 2017, construction had resumed, with new financing secured.
