Mall Of America New $325 Million Addition
I was just up in Bloomington Minnesota at the Mall of America. We spent a weekend hanging out there. I thought it was big enough. Guess not.
KSTP.com is reporting that the Mall of America’s has a new wing that is set to open next month. It's a $325-million expansion on the north side of the mall.
It will open in stages rather than all at once. The 750,000-square-foot development is an extension on all three levels of the mall.
Mall officials say it will include a 342-room JW Marriott, retail stores, dining options, meeting facilities, an event atrium, valet and concierge services, extra parking and a state-of-the-art office tower.
The first place to open this summer will be the food court, and next will be the mall’s new front-door atrium, which is expected to open in November.
The spokeswoman also confirmed that the new wing may not get filled until after the holiday shopping season; the new stores that will fill the space have not yet been announced.
