About the Sherman
Oaks Galleria World-famous Pop-icon Reborn in 2002 |
|
While hosting a vibrant business, professional and creative tenant community during business hours, the Galleria transforms itself during evenings and weekends into a unique and exciting destination for dining, entertainment, trendy shopping and lifestyle services for local residents, community groups and out-of-town guests. Today, the Sherman Oaks Galleria truly serves as a "town center" for the San Fernando Valley in the 21st Century. |

Rich Pop-culture Legacy In the 1980's, the Sherman Oaks Galleria retail center was a pop culture phenomenon and a venue for films such as cult favorites Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Chopping Mall. The Galleria's pop-culture fame was cemented by the song "Valley Girl" by Frank Zappa, which features a hilarious monologue by his daughter Moon Unit Zappa. |

The Renovation In 1997, Douglas Emmett purchased the property and, in 1998, began plans with the architecture, design and planning firm of Gensler for the Galleria's repositioning and revitalization. The mall was transformed from a white, windowless box into a state-of-the-art open-air lifestyle center that includes 700,000 square feet of office space in three buildings overlooking a 300,000-square-foot retail and entertainment complex. |
| The Sherman Oaks Galleria was awarded the 2007 TOBY in the renovation category by BOMA (Building Managers and Owners Association of Greater Los Angeles). The TOBY Award is the most prestigious and comprehensive program of its kind in commercial real estate. |
