MidtownCoog Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Starbucks aren't much to look at. The Oceanaire is. The new Starbucks on Fannin is pretty cool, but all they did was move in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northbeaumont Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I agree and have always envisioned a sky-bridge from the Galleria across to the Post Oak shopping centers.I found out that there is a Galleria in Dallas. Is it owned by the same company as the one in Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 I found out that there is a Galleria in Dallas. Is it owned by the same company as the one in Houston?You may be confused. Galleria is just a generic name, like "mall." Am I right guys, or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicman Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) You may be confused. Galleria is just a generic name, like "mall." Am I right guys, or no?It can be generic but in this instance both were developed by Gerald Hines and hence the common name.

The Dallas one however, did not remain the metro's main high-end shopping center.Actually, the Dallas Galleria was developed until the 80s. (To be precise, the Houston Galleria opened in 1970; the Dallas Galleria in 1982.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasArchitect Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 i'm surprised no one has mentioned Martini Park. They will be next to Lord & Taylor.

Trae Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 When is the smaller Macy's store going to close (on Sage)? I think they should try and get another retailer there (like a Bloomingdales). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deut28Thirteen Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I thought they were going to make that macys apartments or something like that. The Galleria is already one of the biggest malls in America but we should make it the biggest, I mean everything in Texas is bigger, with that being said how much room is there to expand? We could always go up like some of the new malls in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
