The construction manager for the beleaguered American Dream mall and entertainment complex in New Jersey’s Meadowlands is suing JPMorgan Chase & Co. to recover more than $30 million of unpaid work and accrued interest for the project.

Denver-based PCL Construction Services alleges JPMorgan, which arranged a construction loan and serves as administrative agent for American Dream’s developer, Ameream, is obligated to pay the bill if the developer doesn’t, according to the lawsuit filed June 15 in a New York federal court.
