An elite shopping centre in Houston, Texas, the Galleria is primarily an indoor shopping centre connected to the Galleria Office Towers complex, two Westin hotels, and a private health club. It is the seventh largest shopping centre in the country and was originally envisioned in the 1940s, then made a reality in the late 1960s.

Despite its plentiful expansion and ownership changes throughout the years, the mall has remained a beacon of activity and innovation in the area, welcoming shoppers and sellers into its ever-increasing space while offering new ideas for facilitating commerce.
