XANADU – IF YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME



East Rutherford, NJ – “Xanadu” – Merriam-Webster describes the word as a luxurious place. An understatement if you ask any true Xanadu followers and fanatics. Meadowlands Xanadu will be the largest retail complex in the United States and third largest in the world measuring 2,5000,00 square feet. It has everything you could ever need, entertainment, sports, retail, office and hotel space. New Jersey will no longer be called the “Arm Pit of America” when the great Xanadu rises from the ashes in the Fall of 2008. Derived from a similar project in Madrid, Spain the mall will be visible from the New Jersey Turnpike and will feature some of the greatest manmade objects.

Xanadu should be burned. The ashes should be scattered. The ground should be salted and the developers should be imprisoned.

This whole web site sounds fake,it has all the markings of a P.R. campaign. That is a sign that this project is indeed a loser.A conglomeration of bad architecture,bad civic design,and stale corporate branding and thought.Very depressing.
You will find the true Xanadu in America's old downtowns,old buildings, and Ma and Pa shops.That is where the joy is.
