Mall Ownership
The American-based Mills Corporation developed the mall in 2002. It opened the next year with great fanfare. Madrid Xanadú was the company's first mall outside the United States and was planning to build more malls in Europe. In 2006, the Canadian mall company Ivanhoe Cambridge bought Madrid Xanadú from Mills to alleviate the latter company's financial problems.
Xanadu's Counterpart
In 2004, The Mills started to build its counterpart, Xanadu Meadowlands (formerly named Meadowlands Xanadu) in New Jersey, however, ownership changes and countless delays have plagued the complex and it has yet to open.
