Quote:
"In the works since 2013 but opposed by environmentalists and others, the $200-million Dragon Mart mega-mall would have covered nearly 1,400 acres and housed 3,040 exhibition spaces for more than 1,000 vendors, most of them Chinese.
"In addition to ordering the project shut down, the [Mexico's] environmental agency is fining Dragon Mart the equivalent of about $1.5 million.
Note:

("The Dragon Mart project in Cancun, Mexico was scheduled to open in late 2014, but because of development and environmental delays, it will open in 2015")
Now it seems "nevermore."
