Mall of America® is planned for an additional 5.6 million square feet of mixed-use space north of the existing Mall, in addition to the parking lot on the south side.

Complementing Mall of America, Phase II is designed like a lifestyle center under glass with upscale retail, hotel and entertainment options while incorporating natural elements that reflect the region, such as greenery, waterfalls and natural rock formations.

Plans include an NHL-sized arena for public skating as well as private practice. [...]

Phase II anticipates drawing an additional 20 million visitors annually – nearly 40 percent from outside 150 miles – almost doubling the state economic impact to an estimated $4.3 billion.

Expansion plans include several themed, luxury/boutique and Five-Star hotels.

It's kind of strange though given all the dead malls across the country.

Weird considering malls are going by the wayside, but cool nonetheless.

You're in Miami? I'm surprised you don't know about this proposal. It's likely going ahead:

Largest mall in the nation proposed for Miami-Dade

A 200-acre attraction, to be built by the company behind Minnesota’s Mall of America, would include sea lions, a Legoland, submarine rides and a ski slope.
