Riverchase Galleria

Riverchase Galleria, locally known as The Galleria, is a large super–regional shopping mall in the Birmingham suburb of Hoover, Alabama. It is the 43rd largest shopping mall in the United States. It is managed and partially owned by General Growth Properties and is Alabama's largest enclosed shopping center with 1,570,000 square feet (146,000 m2) of total retail floor area.

Located at the intersection of US 31 (Montgomery Highway) and Interstate 459, the Riverchase Galleria complex includes the two-level, 1,570,000-square-foot (146,000 m2) mall, the 15-story, 1,700,000-square-foot (160,000 m2) Wynfrey Hotel, and the 17-story, 285,000-square-foot (26,500 m2) Galleria Tower office building. In addition to other clients, the tower serves as the headquarters for Surgical Care Affiliates and Walter Energy, Inc.

The Galleria is part of the Riverchase planned development, including a residential community and a business community located in the southern part of the city of Hoover. The Riverchase complex was annexed into Hoover in September 1980, which has since more than quadrupled in population and has become the second largest city in the Birmingham-Hoover Metropolitan Area.
