Poughkeepsie Galleria

The Poughkeepsie Galleria is a shopping mall in the town of Poughkeepsie, New York, not far from Wappingers Falls, and is the biggest mall in New York's Hudson Valley region. The mall, which opened in 1987 after much controversy regarding its construction, has an area of 1,100,000 foot² with two floors and 250 shops and restaurants as well as an 12-screen Regal Cinema theater. Adjacent to the mall is South Hills Mall, previously the dominant retail center of Dutchess County, whose decline has come at the expense of the Galleria's dominance.

The mall is owned and managed by The Pyramid Companies, a group who also owns and manages regional sisters Galleria at Crystal Run in Middletown, Hudson Valley Mall in Kingston, and the Palisades Center in West Nyack. It is currently the most recent adopter of the Pyramid corporte "MB-18" teenage curfew policy on weekend evenings, a policy that began in September 2005.
