History
editCrocker Galleria was opened in 1982, designed by Edward Charles Bassett of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. Originally, it housed around 62 stores and restaurants, providing an urban amenity for pedestrians in a densely packed urban core.
Known for its glass atrium inspired by Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan, it offers a semi-indoor shopping experience.
In recent years, the Galleria has faced significant challenges with occupancy. As of 2024, only three tenants remain.
The mall is slated for redevelopment, expected to begin in 2025.
Disappearance of Kristen Modafferi
editCrocker Galleria is also notable for the mysterious disappearance of Kristen Modafferi in 1997. Modafferi, an 18-year-old college student, vanished after leaving her job at the Galleria. Despite extensive investigations, her case remains unsolved.[1]
