Miami Megamall, Largest In US, Set To Be Voted On

The Miami-Dade County Commission set a crucial vote Thursday for American Dream Maimi -- a massive, $4 billion retail and entertainment complex near Miami that would be the largest mall in North America if and when completed. 

Developers say the megamall would include more than just shops: theme-park attractions such as an indoor ski slope, submarine ride, water park, skating rink, restaurants and 2,000 hotel rooms.

Although it’s close to the environmentally sensitive Everglades, most concerns have centered on traffic. 

Canadian developer Triple Five estimates it would draw some 30 million visitors a year. Neighboring Broward County has threatened to sue if developers don’t take steps to ease traffic gridlock.

Developers say the project will create 14,000 permanent jobs.
