Uptown/Galleria

The Galleria is an upscale mixed-use urban development centrally located in the Uptown District of Houston, Texas, one of the largest business districts in the country, just outside the city's I-610 inner beltway. It is at one of the busiest surface street intersections in the country, Post Oak Boulevard at Westheimer Road.

The Galleria, sometimes referred to as the Houston Galleria (to distinguish it from establishments in other cities with a similar name), consists of a retail complex, as well as three office towers, two Westin hotels, and a private health club. The office towers and hotels are separately owned and managed from the shopping center, which in itself is the largest mall in Texas and eighth-largest in the United States. It is currently anchored by two separate full-line Macy's, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue. The Uptown District of Houston is centered along Post Oak Boulevard, Westheimer Road, and the Galleria-the largest indoor shopping mall in the city. In its role as a high-end fashion and hotel district, it is approximately the Houston equivalent of San Francisco's Union Square and Los Angeles's Beverly Hills.

The Uptown District is bounded by Woodway Drive to the north, the I-610 (West Loop) to the east, U.S. Highway 59 to the south, and Yorktown Street to the west. At 23.6 million square feet (2,193,000 meters squared) of office space, Uptown is also known for its skyline-it is Houston's second-largest business district, and the nation's 14th-largest, about the size of downtown Atlanta, Denver, and Los Angeles.
