American Dream Approved By Planning Board, Including 50-Story Tower
Miami is one step closer to getting the biggest mall in America, American Dream Miami. Yesterday, Miami-Dade’s Planning Advisory Board voted 11-1 to recommend approval. The final step is approval of the County Commission, scheduled for a vote in May 17. In April, developer Triple Five submitted an initial development plan that reveals just how massive the project is. It will include: 3.5 million square feet of retail (more than any other American mall) 1.5 million square feet of entertainment 1.2 million square feet back-of-house 2,000 hotel rooms Three structures on the property will rise 500 feet, which is roughly the equivalent of 50 stories.
