The Mall of America^©—the largest shopping mall in the United States, located in Bloomington, Minnesota—recently completed a large expansion to the north. A ten-story office tower was added, along with 163,000 square feet of retail space that ties the office tower and a new JW Marriott hotel (with 14 stories and 342 rooms) together.

Swisspearl^® worked closely with the award-winning architects DLR Group and the owners to make this project a success. The project’s impressive architecture and design feature clean, classic lines, natural light, and modern materials such as three custom Swisspearl^® REFLEX colors. The addition boasts over 100,000 square feet of Swisspearl^® cladding, ten containers of material, 70,000 rivets, and numerous trips from our sales team to assist in the project. Altogether, it was a great team effort from all involved to make this project a success.
