EAST RUTHERFORD -- The bond sale to fund the American Dream Meadowlands megamall is again delayed, Bloomberg reported.

Goldman Sachs Group Inc. did not price the $1.1 billion in bonds on Wednesday as it was expected to, according to three people Bloomberg spoke with.

A Goldman Sachs spokesman declined to comment to the publication.

The publication noted that sometimes the process can be drawn out if bankers need time with buyers and to consider inquiries from potential investors. It could still come as soon as Thursday, Bloomberg reported.

The sale itself was long-debated in court after a non-profit group claimed it violated state regulations. A three-judge appellate panel dismissed the claims and paved the way for the bond sale.

The megamall, first launched Xanadu in 2003, was intended to bring economic revitalization to the area. Since then, the project has seen several developers and several redesigns.

An indoor theme park and water park are planned for the mall, as well as tenants including Lord & Taylor, Saks Fifth Avenue and a miniature city for children.

Triple Five most recently announced a March 2019 opening date.
