HOUSTON — Simon Property Group plans to add a luxury hotel and residential tower to The Galleria, a premier shopping destination in Houston. The hotel and residences, which will both be located in the same building, will be situated on the corner of Sage and West Alabama streets. The project is part of a multi-year transformation of The Galleria, which began with the creation of a 200,000-square-foot flagship Saks Fifth Avenue store adjacent to the current location. Once the new Saks store opens later this month, Simon will convert the existing Saks store into a multi-level mall extension featuring 110,000 square feet of space. The tower will be on the site of a former Macy’s store and will span between 25 and 30 stories. Groundbreaking is expected in late 2017.
