Sam­sung con­struct­ing new $2B 'Su­per Plan­t' rough­ly the size of Amer­i­ca's largest malls

Sam­sung Bi­o­log­ics is plan­ning to con­struct a new ‘Su­per Plant’ about the size of the biggest shop­ping malls in the US.

Last month, the com­pa­ny an­nounced that it is ex­pect­ing to break ground on the man­u­fac­tur­ing plant, its fourth over­all, some­time be­fore the end of the year. The build­ing, which will cost rough­ly $2 bil­lion, is ex­pect­ed to en­com­pass 238,000 square me­ters, or about 2.5 mil­lion square feet. That’s the size of all three of its cur­rent plants com­bined and about 90% the area of Min­neso­ta’s Mall of Amer­i­ca and Philadel­phia’s King of Prus­sia mall, the coun­try’s two biggest, ful­ly-open malls.
