[edit] History

Galleria opened on February 28, 1996.[5] The mall's developer, Forest City Enterprises, announced that it opened the mall with 85% of space leased, which was the highest it had ever achieved in any mall it had developed.[6]

On October 11, 2002, the mall opened a 121,000 ft² expansion on the northeast edge that added a new anchor location (now occupied by Dick's Sporting Goods) as well as multiple other tenants.[7]

A second expansion is planned for 2008 and may coincide with an additional offramp from Interstate 515 built specifically for the mall.[5]
