Unless something messed up happens, this thing is being built. Don't try and compare the novices of Shellbourne to Dalian Wanda.
Dalian Wanda is THE largest developer in China and do close to $40B in revenue per year (i.e. slightly more revenue than Oracle does every year and nearly the same as Goldman Sachs). Their CEO is THE richest man in China and this is his first project in the US - a statement project. They've paid billions in cash for American and British companies in the last few years, including AMC Theater and Legendary Entertainment who made such movies as The Dark Knight, Hangover, Inception, Interstellar, etc. They easily have the cash on hand to pay for the entire thing themselves without taking out a loan from anybody.
Shellbourne are complete and utter amateurs compared to these guys - it's not even close. I didn't even mention Magellan in all of this either.
