In reality, the project was originally envisioned and planned in 2004 by The Mills Corporation, which was based in Maryland.
After many fits, false starts, and the bankruptcy of Mills Corp, ownership of the property passed to Colony Capital, from Florida.
Colony Capital couldn't see the project through to fruition, and it was bought by Triple Five, of Canada, which--for better or worse--finished construction and has proceeded to open their huge facility... in stages.
Actually it was conceived before then by hartz mountain in the late 90s. A Secaucus New Jersey company
On New Jersey state land and funded partially but significantly by New Jersey bonds and wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for New Jersey politicians getting deeply involved.

Exactly.
Very ha-ppy someone is not DELUSIONAL with the PRO NJ BS. Your response was great, and re-affirms mine.
Entitled to your own opinions, not your own facts.. RETRIEVER

However, NJ-based Hartz didn't move ahead with the project (which might indicate some wisdom on their part) and its actual planning and construction were done by the out-of-state entities that I mentioned.
And, if we are going to include the fact that "NJ politicians" were deeply involved, it would be good to be much more specific. Two tranches of bonds were issued by NJ, in 2013 and 2017, to allow construction to be completed. The Governor who was "deeply involved" in this effort was none other than Chris Christie.
I did not know there was already a convention center. Is this just the Izod Center itself? That thing is a stadium, cant use it for conventions. It will look ridiculous.

So many things happened with this project involving many levels of state and local governments like the borough of East Rutherford Secaucus New Jersey sports and exposition authority, so forth. I was very involved in this project actually and New Jersey was quite involved in it I even have the original hartz mountain drawings and renderings in my possession. I'm too lazy to dig up everything honest since this was such an enormous project for the meadowlands region and it was constantly in the news. I know you don't want to admit it but this project was very New Jersey
