==Real-estate purchases==
In 2015, Taylor announced plans to purchase the St. Louis-area [[Jamestown Mall]] for redevelopment as a religious complex, including a hotel, sports arena, office space, and convention center. He claimed that he had a $10 million donation from [[Karlos Dansby]] and $400 million in financing arranged, along with a contract to purchase the property from [[Macy's]] for $1 million. Dansby denied that he had made or pledged the donation, and the church was unable to begin either the site purchase or redevelopment. Instead, [[St. Louis County, Missouri|St. Louis County]] transferred the property to its port authority in 2017.<ref name=Post-Dispatch />

Taylor unsuccessfully sued St. Louis County, claiming that it had undermined his efforts with slow approvals, and Macy's, for reneging on the alleged purchase agreement.<ref name=Post-Dispatch /> In October 2025, the mall was demolished after nearly 10 years of vacancy.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hoskins |first=Kelley |date=Oct 16, 2025 |title=Demolition complete: Jamestown Mall site cleared, ready for redevelopment |url=https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/demolition-complete-jamestown-mall-site-cleared-ready-for-redevelopment/ |work=Fox 2 Now}}</ref>
