The Galleria, High-rise building in Metairie, US

The Galleria is a 21-story, 269-foot (82 m) office tower at One Galleria Boulevard in Metairie, Louisiana, designed by HKS, Inc. and completed in 1986. It is the second tallest building in Jefferson Parish and also houses the studios of Nexstar Media Group's WGNO and WNOL-TV.

In 1983 Texas developer Daniel Robinowitz announced a six-tower, $500 million office complex near Interstate 10 and Causeway Boulevard, designed by Harwood K. Smith and Partners (HKS). Only this tower, Galleria One, was built, opening in December 1986 at a cost of $100 million. The Feil Organization bought it in 2005, and a $5 million renovation was completed in May 2025.

The Galleria houses the New Orleans studios of Nexstar Media Group's ABC affiliate WGNO and CW station WNOL-TV, so the building is part of the local broadcast landscape. Its name comes from the planned Galleria complex, of which it is the only tower realized.

The building sits on a major transportation corridor with parking available and multiple entry points for easy access. Visitors can move freely between the different sections and floors depending on where they want to go.

Six towers of roughly equal height were planned in 1983 for a $500 million complex, but only this one rose; the rest of the four-phase project was never built. The tower opened in December 1986 as Galleria One, the first phase of a scheme that stopped there.
