The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale is an upscale super regionalshopping mall onSunrise Boulevard inFort Lauderdale,Florida. It was originally constructed in 1954 as the open-air shopping mall theSunrise Center.
The mall is owned by GFO Investments, InSite Group andAtlas Hill RE. The latter company is responsible for the property's leasing, while Centennial Real Estate Management is responsible for the property's management. Prior to Centennial, the mall was managed by the Kravco Company,Simon Property Group andJones Lang LaSalle.
The Galleria was originally theSunrise Center, an open-air shopping mall constructed in 1954, but was demolished except for theJordan Marsh store (reopened as South Florida's first Dillard's in 1993; Dillard's stores later opened atPembroke Lakes Mall in 1995 andThe Mall at Wellington Green in 2001), and rebuilt as an enclosed mall.[1] The Galleria opened in three phases: initially on November 11, 1980, withBurdines (now Macy's),Saks Fifth Avenue (nowH&M andIWG) and Jordan Marsh; second in 1982 featuringNeiman Marcus (which closed in 2020 following an announcement on July 23[2][3]); and lastly in 1983 withLord & Taylor (partially now Powerhouse Gym).[4]
ThePennsylvania Public School Employees' Retirement System pension fund bought the mall in 1993 for $125 million.[5]
From 2001 to 2003, $44 million was spent on renovations that included bringing in palm trees, opening windows and adding tri-color floor tiles.[5]
In 2014, redevelopment of the area around The Galleria was proposed, with 1,600 condos and 150 hotel rooms.[6] The redevelopment never materialized due to community opposition.[5][7]
In 2018, an aquarium was proposed for the space previously occupied byLord & Taylor. Aquarium operatorSeaQuest proposed adding 1,200 marine animals, including sharks and stingrays to the space. The plan never materialized.[5]
On September 24, 2025, a consortium of buyers including GFO Investments, InSite Group andAtlas Hill RE acquired the property.[8] On the same day, it was announced that Centennial Real Estate Management were contracted by the consortium to manage the mall while Atlas Hill RE were slated to handle the property's retail leasing.[9] GFO and InSite are currently planning to redevelop the flat parking lots surrounding the mall into a mixed-use project consisting of nine, 30-story towers and a hotel. The nine towers are reported to contain 3,144 residential rental units, including 1,273 workforce housing units.[10]
