Galleria Dallas is continuing a major makeover, with plans for a new outdoor plaza and customer entrance on the shopping center’s northwest side.
The latest project will transform the area between Grand Lux Cafe and The Westin Galleria Dallas, creating a more inviting arrival experience for shoppers approaching from the Dallas North Tollway. Construction is expected to begin soon, with completion planned for the first quarter of 2027.
A New Welcome For Shoppers
While renovations continue around Center Court, another highly visible section of the mall is preparing for its own overhaul.
The new North Plaza will feature updated landscaping, seating areas, new pavers and an upgraded valet stand. Designed by architect Omniplan with landscaping by Bud Creative, the outdoor space is intended to create a more welcoming entrance while giving visitors a place to relax before or after shopping.
Grand Lux Cafe will also receive updates as part of the project. The restaurant will refresh its exterior and add a new entrance connecting directly to the adjacent corridor.
“We’ve long wanted a grand entry to welcome shoppers in on the northwest side of the center, and are pleased it’s finally coming to fruition,” said Galleria Dallas General Manager Angie Freed in an official statement. “The new North Plaza will be a welcoming space for shoppers to relax as they’re visiting Galleria Dallas, giving them another reason to linger.”
Part Of A Larger Transformation
The North Plaza is the latest phase of a broader renovation effort underway throughout Galleria Dallas.
Inside the shopping center, Center Court is receiving new flooring, updated lighting, additional seating and a lighter color palette as the mall replaces its signature teal glass with an off-white finish designed to brighten the space.
The mall has also completed several improvements over the past year. In 2025, Galleria Dallas renovated restrooms on Level 3 North and at the Ice Skating Center, added a new entrance corridor between The Westin Galleria Dallas and Bachendorf’s Jewelers, and opened new party rooms on the rink level for birthdays, meetings and community events.
Together, the projects reflect Galleria Dallas’ continued investment in modernizing one of North Texas’ best-known shopping destinations while enhancing the experience for both shoppers and visitors.
