  • Miami-Dade Stretches to Accommodate American Dream Miami, North America's Largest Mall American Dream Miami Wouldn't
    Miami-Dade stretches to accommodate American Dream Miami, North America’s largest mall Brian Bandell, Senior Reporter, South Florida Business Journal American Dream Miami wouldn’t just be the largest mall in North America; it would be unlike almost any attraction in the world for its scope of activities and potential economic impact. That vision for this mega mall, slated to open in northwest Miami-Dade County in 2020, has inspired both anticipation and trepidation. It’s sure to create thousands of jobs, lure more tourists and generate major tax revenue - an estimated $48.5 million locally and $93.6 million for the state. But the project could exacerbate an already difficult traffic problem, and the majority of its jobs would pay less than $25,000 a year. Triple Five Group, the owner of the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota, plans to build the 6.2 million-square-foot retail and entertainment complex with 2,000 hotel rooms at the southwest corner of Florida’s Turnpike and Interstate 75. The $3.2 billion project is under county review for a comprehensive development plan amendment, along with the Graham Cos.’s proposal on a neighboring 309-acre site for 2,000 multifamily rental units, 1 million square feet of retail and a 3 million-square-foot business park. The first county commission vote in May is expected to trigger a state review. Coming together quickly Plans for American Dream Miami first came to light in March, and have been moving at a rapid pace with the strong backing of Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez.

  • The American Dream
    The American Dream America's latest shopping & leisure experience in New Jersey Many years ago so-called "XXL shopping malls" the urban shopping experience in concentrated form spread as a major trend from America to Europe and the rest of the world. The West Edmonton Mall, which opened in Canada in 1981 and was considered the world's largest shopping centre until 2004, set standards for modern shopping facilities early on combined with a wealth of entertainment offerings. The Mall of America in Bloomington/Minnesota (USA, opened in 1992) can also boast superlatives: with more than 40 million visitors annually, it is the world's most visited shopping mall. All these projects have a connection to the Edmonton/Alberta-based project developer Triple Five Group, a company founded by the Ghermezian family in the mid-Sixties and still owned by them. The West Edmonton Mall and the Mall of America were developed and continue to be operated by the Canadian company. The most recent projects of the Triple Five conglomerate include the new American Dream shopping and entertainment centre in the US state of New Jersey, the first section of which was officially opened on 25 October 2019 (see EAP News of 25 October 2019). In 2011 the Triple Five Group took over the retail project in East Rutherford, originally planned under the name "Meadowlands Xanadu", which had been under construction since 2004. The complex is now to be completed in four phases and will subsequently contain hundreds of retail, catering, entertainment and fashion offerings on an area of approximately 279,000 square meters.

    Leadership Selection in Alberta, 1992-2011: A Personal Perspective Ted Morton In 1991, the Progressive Conservative Party of Alberta changed its rules for selecting its party leader. They abandoned their traditional method of a leadership convention (with delegates drawn from each constituency), and instituted a new one-member, one-vote system. Under this new system, the Alberta PCs have elected three new party leaders: Ralph Klein in 1992; Ed Stelmach in 2006; and Alison Redford in 2011. In each of these leadership contests the winner 2013 CanLIIDocs 380 immediately became the Premier of Alberta. This article looks at the impact of the new selection procedure for politics in Alberta. he 1991 leadership reforms can best be described Initially the Party was quite proud of its new as creating what the Americans call an “open democratic credentials.4 But as these rules were put Tprimary.” Not only is it based on the one- into play in three leadership contests over the next two member, one-vote principle, but the membership decades, they have had significant and unintended requirement is essentially “open”.

Debbie Dana Marie Proctor a.k.a. Dana Cole a.k.a. Dana Cole Proctor a.k.a. Dana Graham a.k.a. Jane Doe Defendant _______________________________________________________ Reasons for Judgment of the Honourable Mr. Justice Douglas R. Mah _______________________________________________________ A. Background [1] The Defendant, Dana Proctor, says that she speaks truth to power and nothing more. Her medium of expression is the internet, by way of her own Youtube channel and various social media platforms. [2] The Plaintiffs, West Edmonton Mall and its principal, David Ghermezian, say that Ms. Proctor is a dangerous internet troll who traffics in racist and defamatory screed. They have commenced a defamation action and say she must be stopped once and for all. [3] In this application, WEM and David seek by procedural means to nullify Ms. Proctor’s defence of their action and her counterclaim, and thereby put themselves in a position to obtain a permanent injunction as a final remedy. They do so by applying for this hierarchy of procedural remedies (in order of preference): Page: 2 striking of Ms. Proctor’s pleadings (both statement of defence and counterclaim) under Rule 3.68; summary disposition with regard to both the claim and the counterclaim under Rule 7.3; dealing with Ms. Proctor’s pleadings (both statement of defence and counterclaim) under Civil Practice Note 7 pertaining to vexatious proceedings.
