1.8M-SF Galleria Resets Style

DALLAS-Work begins this month and is scheduled to wrap up in time for the 2004 holiday shopping season. The first overhaul in the Dallas Galleria's 21-year history adds 50,000 sf of retail space, including a new two-story building.

DALLAS-Construction begins this month on a multi-million-dollar makeover to the 1.8-million-sf Dallas Galleria Mall. The plan to bring another 50,000 sf of retail space is scheduled to wrap-up in time for the 2004 holiday shopping season.

Owned by UBS Realty Investors of Boston, the mall has long been considered Dallas-Fort Worth’s premier shopping arena, but has been facing stiff competition for consumer dollars in recent years as equally large venues opened doors north of the city. The mall, built in 1982, will be “reinvented” as others of its ilk have done to keep pace with suburban development.

The Dallas Galleria will be repackaged into a European-style street setting with retail selection sorted by consumer focus and clusters of specialty stores. The plans call for reducing the size of the ice skating rink, but adding more seats and gaining more balcony space. On the north end, a two-story addition will rise for a home-furnishings retailer and restaurant while the mall’s west entrance will be enlarged with a three-story portal and enough space for two upscale restaurants.
