Kraus-Anderson completes major redevelopment at Galleria Edina

May 16, 2025

Kraus-Anderson Construction has completed a significant redevelopment project at the Galleria in Edina, Minn., transforming a key section of the shopping center into a dynamic new retail area, anchored by an expanded space for premium lifestyle and home furnishings brand, Arhaus.

Designed by Cuningham Architects, the newly renovated two-story, 53,536-square-foot core and shell

includes a 25,000-square-foot showroom for Arhaus, slated to open in the fall of 2025. The redevelopment also accommodates three additional tenants, including Sweet Paris Crêperie, scheduled for a fall 2025 opening as well, with two more retailers expected to debut in 2026.

The scope of work included the full interior demolition of both lower and main levels. Significant structural updates were made, including lowering the concrete floors to align with the mall’s existing concourse level and to support a newly integrated loading dock. Additional enhancements included raising the roof by ten feet, creating a concourse with clerestory windows to introduce more natural light, and installing a glass elevator.

In addition to the interior remodel, the project also incorporated exterior and site improvements, including new drive lanes connecting Galleria’s parking areas for seamless 360-degree circulation, a new underground stormwater retention system, upgraded electrical and water services, as well as new concrete and asphalt paving, irrigation and landscaping.

Construction began in February of 2024. Hines, who manages the Galleria, served as construction manager and owner’s representative on the project.

“This redevelopment reflects our commitment to the ongoing reinvention of Galleria to maintain its position as the premier retail and dining destination in the upper Midwest,” said Paul Wagner, Galleria’s property manager. “Through thoughtful design and strategic construction, we’re enhancing the shopping and dining experience for our guests.”
