Galleria
Upscale retail destination
A galleria is a shopping mall or arcade, especially one with a glass roof or skylight creating an open, airy atmosphere.
The term derives from Italian, evoking the grand covered passages of European cities: The new galleria downtown has three floors of shops and restaurants.
It often suggests upscale retail space rather than a standard strip mall.
