This is a failure in the making.

Whenever they show a night shot rendering for new architecture, YOU KNOW it will be much uglier by day!

Oye!! People will really love NJ now!!

What a Joke..!!! American Dream????? huge mall to be mostly closed on Sundays due to Blue (obsolete) Laws. Not to mention the overcrowded and already congested Route 3.

No matter what they do, how much money keeps pumping to it, it’s a failure on the making from day 1. This time, it will be greater mess..!!

Good luck with the name, it’s to cheesy for these economical times and generation, perhaps back in the 50′s or 60′s would’ve been sort of an American Dream Mall, but times are changing, internet is overshadowing retailing and this one will not be an exception.

Govener fat ass wastes more money again. Try slimfast you cow.

I live in New Jersey, and I know what Xanadu is.

I’m so glad our fearless leader is using his time wisely worrying about a freakin mall in the middle of a swamp! Maybe the Northeast Corridor trains will get to Penn on time after this monstrosity is finished…oh wait, we don’t care about commuters in NJ!

I can’t imagine what kind of makeover could make that place look better. The whole design is a nightmare from its shape to its size. It looks like a coal mine was thrown up by the ground

It’s amazing how many people don’t know what a tax credit is.

wow , such negativity. come on !
it will eventually provide thousands of job, tax revenue and act as a beacon for migrating birds! but really “the american dream” argh
how about the “meadowmall” cool

another example of shifting taxes from rich / corporations to working class…

everyone should pay their share…

its a tax credit wich wont cost the state any out of pocket money but will cost it the $200 million in tax income which could be through time. This will be recoupe throught the income tax and sales tax collected by the state from the sales and new jobs created by the project.

How about the truth behind that mess…. who were the folks taht presented the at design concept in the first place!!! An mose so lets find out just who was sitting around the table when that design was presented and all gave it a thumbs up Saying they LIKED the DESIGN… Name some Names there!

Great, lets throw more money down that rat hole! I have an idea lets layoff more teachers fund it.

That spot would have been great for a casino [see Yonkers Raceway-Empire Casino]. Next to the race track and would have brought in so much money, the politicians wouldn’t have known how to spend it all. Let me run the state. I’ll get you back to even.

a mall!!!!! who the heck has any money to spend in a new mall? unless people have jobs,the fact is, no money, no spending. that goes for gas too.

GREAT ANOTHER MALL IN BERGEN COUNTY. EVEN BETTER HOW ABOUT THE BLUE LAWS OF BERGEN COUNTY

Kathy, you are so right!..and while we are at it let’s read the Stalin Doctrine every morning before class!

Kathy – Can’t do much of that with just 200 million. Especially not with 200 million that doesn’t arrive until the new facility is built. It’s not $200M cash, it’s $200M tax credits – big difference.

I’m excited! I live next to Xanadu and have to look at it everyday. I can’t wait for something spectacular in this area. We often have to leave this area for shopping now, we will have our own shopping mall! Contact me if you need ideas for stores types. Good luck!

WOW – The American Dream – What an improvement! I guess for Christie – anyplace with a Food Court is his dream!!

Xanadon’t

Waste of time and money – more money. Tear it down and build a parking lot.

So Christie didn’t have enough money for a second Hudson rail tunnel, but he has enough money for a tacky mall in a state that already has enough malls?

Anything is better than what it is now!!!
