On its website, the Mall of America touts itself as "the nation's largest retail and entertainment complex."
But according to one recent ranking, that distinction goes to the South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa, Calif.
The addition of 17 new retailers last year helped vault the South Coast Plaza to No. 1 status with 2.8 million square feet of gross leasable area, edging out the Mall of America with 2.78 million square feet of GLA, according to a recent survey by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
But the Mall of America still has the largest building area -- a whopping 4.2 million square feet -- of any mall in North America. And with upcoming plans to expand, it shouldn't be No. 2 for long.
