Galleria Real Estate

In the heart of uptown Houston towering over one of the busiest intersection in country stands the internationally renowned Galleria Shopping District - the original mixed-use upscale shopping complex. Futuristic traffic lights, post-modern architecture and street signs announce arrival not only in a different part of town, but in a different state of mind. Straddling the 610 Loop at the intersection of Post Oak Road and Westheimer, The Galleria is the largest mall in Texas - fourth largest in the U.S. -- and its concentration of modern upscale hotels, fine restaurants and sophisticated shopping venues have a distinct cosmopolitan feel.

The multi-faceted jewel of west Houston serves as the flagship for many retailers, and is the backbone for thousands of jobs and support services. Home to many local upscale designers and boutiques, including Ala Moda, Brass Boot, Carroll Paris, De Gala, Grazia, Obecca, Sara Lasier, Velleriano Italy and many others. Collectively, these shopping centers make up what is known nationally and internationally as the Galleria Shopping District; officially, this area is known as the Uptown District.

Surrounding the Galleria are other upscale shopping centers featuring similar stores and local fashion houses: Fashion Centre, Uptown Collection, Uptown Park and Highland Village to name a few. Other diversions include museums, art galleries, restaurants and a year-round ice skating rink. Average per capita income in this swanky part of Houston average around $65,000- The Galleria/Uptown District is bounded by Woodway Drive to the north, Loop 610 (West Loop) to the east, U.S. Highway 59 to the south, and Chimney Rock Road to the west.
