Financing Finalized for Long-Delayed Meadowlands Mall
The $2.8 billion in financing needed for a massive retail and entertainment center in the Meadowlands sports complex has been secured, clearing the biggest hurdle to completion of the long-delayed project.

The project has been plagued by financial problems since the first contract was awarded in 2003.
The immense structure, once called “the ugliest … building in New Jersey” by Republican Gov. Chris Christie, has sat unfinished between MetLife Stadium and the New Jersey Turnpike for years.
