About this listen

 American Dream, the massive New Jersey mall formerly known as Xanadu, faced decades of delays, environmental opposition, financial crises, owner changes, and lawsuits. Despite billions invested and ambitious plans, construction repeatedly stalled, and the mall sat abandoned for years. After finally opening partially in 2019, it struggled with debt, incomplete sections, and changing retail trends. Its future remains uncertain as developers attempt to shift focus to entertainment.
