Nestled in the heart of the D.C. region, Tysons Galleria, a three-level, 797K sf mall, stands as a testament to architectural adaptability and community innovation. This transformation breathed new life into the 260K sf former Macy's space at Tysons Galleria, turning it into an entertainment and retail district unlike any other in the area. The beauty of this renovation is the unique gathering space that has been created within Tysons Galleria. Unlike traditional malls, this space is designed to be a great touchdown point for people to work, socialize and recharge. It offers an abundance of seating options, from stadium seating for those looking to catch a movie, to lounge seating for those seeking relaxation and communal tables that invite diverse demographics to come together and enjoy the space. It's a community hub within the mall, fostering connections and providing visitors with an atypical mall experience. The addition of upscale movie theaters, a captivating bowling alley concept, and a carefully curated collection of home furniture and decor stores, including RH, Arhaus, and Crate & Barrel, have transformed Tysons Galleria into a true destination. The desire to add larger mini-anchors that didn't exist in the marketplace was a key motivation behind this renovation, filling a market need and adapting to the way people are shopping in person. Environmental sustainability also takes center stage at Tysons Galleria, with features like a green wall and energy-efficient HVAC systems showcasing Brookfield's commitment to responsible development. In the ever-evolving world of retail, Tysons Galleria is not just a shopping destination but a community gathering space that stands as a beacon of adaptability and innovation. It offers a unique blend of entertainment, retail, and gathering spaces, echoing the evolution of retail in the internet age and setting a new standard for mall design in the Tysons area.
