It opened in August 1992 on the former site of the Metropolitan Stadium, and is the largest mall in the United States, the largest in the Western Hemisphere, and the 12th largest shopping mall in the world. The mall was developed by the Canadian real estate firm Triple Five Group, led by the Ghermezian family, in a joint venture with Melvin Simon & Associates (later Simon DeBartolo Group, now Simon Property Group) and Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association (TIAA-CREF, now simply TIAA). Simon Property Group acquired TIAA's shares in the property in January 1999, leading to the Ghermezian family to sue them. Then, in September 2003, Simon was forced to sell its disputed stake and management role to Triple Five Group, which eventually gained full control of Mall of America in November 2006.
