The Houston County Galleria at 2922 Watson Boulevard in Centerville has been listed for sale since May 2025 at an asking price of $26.65 million, according to a listing by the Taylor McMinn Retail Group of Marcus and Millichap reported by 13WMAZ and 41NBC. The property comprises 480,808 square feet of building on a 50.82-acre site. No sale had been publicly reported as of September 2026, and the listing remained on the broker's site, putting the mall at roughly 16 months on the market.
The listing describes a functioning property rather than a distressed one. The leasing broker's page reports the mall 94 percent occupied with more than 60 national and regional retailers including Belk, JCPenney, Bath and Body Works, Victoria's Secret, Finish Line and Galleria 15 Cinema. The former Sears space was re-tenanted by Big Air Trampoline Park and Crunch Fitness after Conn's HomePlus closed in 2024, JCPenney extended its lease before the listing, and the 156-unit Abbington at Galleria apartment community was built on part of the former parking lot in 2024. The sale listing reported net operating income of $3,238,081.
The asking price sits above the county's assessed value. 13WMAZ reported the Georgia Department of Revenue's qPublic value for the mall at $19,843,000 in 2024, nearly $7 million below the ask. The listing emphasizes that a buyer would acquire 100 percent ownership of all parts of the mall, with flexibility for repositioning and redevelopment, and identifies the owner of record as Gemini Alto Centerville Partners LLC.

Why the Mall Matters to Centerville
Centerville is a 4-square-mile city of about 8,200 people, and the Galleria is its commercial center and largest single property. The city adopted a Town Center Master Plan in 2016 aimed at developing the land around the mall into a denser mixed-use district, with Center Park on East Church Street as the first public piece and the Abbington at Galleria as the first private residential piece. City officials said in 2021 that the city would not buy land or build buildings itself but would seek developers of retail, restaurants, offices and hotels for the area.
A change of ownership at the Galleria therefore changes who holds the largest lever in Centerville's town center plan. The listing's emphasis on redevelopment flexibility, and the precedent of apartments on former parking, point to a future buyer treating the 50 acres as a mixed-use site rather than solely as an enclosed mall. Any construction would go through Centerville's planning and zoning process, but the sale itself is a private transaction with no public input.
Regional Malls in Middle Georgia
The Galleria is the only enclosed regional mall in Houston County and serves Warner Robins, Perry, Bonaire, Kathleen and neighboring Byron along with Peach County. Macon's regional retail has shifted from the Macon Mall, which now houses government and community uses, to the Eisenhower Parkway and Riverside Drive corridors, and Macon-Bibb County broke ground in July 2026 on a $350 million arena that will draw entertainment traffic north. The Galleria's position as the enclosed retail center between Macon and Perry is the asset the listing is selling, together with the land.
Should I Sell My Centerville Home Before the Galleria Changes Hands?
A pending commercial sale does not change residential values on its own, and the mall has been for sale for more than a year without a reported buyer. What changes value over time is what a new owner builds. The Abbington at Galleria added 156 apartments to the center of Centerville, and further residential or mixed-use development on the site would add density, traffic and amenities to the immediate area. For homeowners on the streets around Watson Boulevard and East Church Street, that is a future to plan for rather than a reason to act now.
What I tell Centerville sellers is that the mall's sale is one of three things converging on the city: the school district's expectation of roughly 1,000 homes in the Centerville Elementary zone, Warner Robins' downtown assembly at Commercial Circle just to the east, and the Galleria's redevelopment potential in the middle. A seller who understands all three can explain to a buyer why the north side of Houston County is where change is concentrated, and that is a stronger position than a seller who is surprised by any of them.
Is Centerville a Good Place to Buy With the Mall for Sale?
Centerville homes sell inside the Warner Robins MLS reporting area, which recorded 69 closings at a $228,000 median in August 2026, and Centerville's location gives it the shortest drive to the county's largest retail concentration and to I-75 at Exit 146. A buyer who values proximity to retail, a short Macon commute and an established neighborhood is buying into the part of the county with the most redevelopment activity on the horizon. The Galleria's future is unknown, but every scenario the listing describes adds activity to the center of the city rather than removing it.
From my side, the buyer who benefits most from this moment is the one who wants to be near what gets built next and is willing to own through the construction that precedes it. The mall is healthy, the land is large, and the owners have already shown one direction with the apartments. Ask what the current zoning around the site permits and what the Town Center Master Plan calls for, because those two documents describe the range of outcomes better than any rumor about a buyer.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Houston County Galleria for sale?

As of September 2026 no sale had been publicly reported and the listing remained active on the broker's site.
How much is the Houston County Galleria worth?
The asking price is $26.65 million. 13WMAZ reported the Georgia Department of Revenue's qPublic assessed value for the mall at $19,843,000 for 2024, nearly $7 million below the ask. The sale listing reported net operating income of $3,238,081, which is the figure a commercial buyer would use to evaluate the price.
How big is the Houston County Galleria?
The Galleria comprises 480,808 square feet of building space on a 50.82-acre site at 2922 Watson Boulevard in Centerville, Georgia. The leasing broker reports the property 94 percent occupied with more than 60 national and regional retailers, including Belk, JCPenney, Crunch Fitness, Big Air Trampoline Park and Galleria 15 Cinema.
Is the Galleria mall closing?
No closure has been announced. The listing and leasing materials describe a 94 percent occupied property with a recently re-tenanted anchor space and a lease extension by JCPenney. The mall temporarily closed for an emergency water shutoff in January 2023 and reopened. The sale listing offers a buyer the option to reposition or redevelop, but the property is operating.
What are the Abbington at Galleria apartments?
The Abbington at Galleria is a 156-unit apartment community built in 2024 on part of the Galleria's former parking lot behind the mall. Centerville City Council approved the project in 2020 after the mall's owners, who had reserved the space for an additional anchor store since 1993, brought in ReaVentures Development Group to build multifamily housing instead.
Who owns the Houston County Galleria?
The owner of record in 2025, according to qPublic as reported by 13WMAZ, was Gemini Alto Centerville Partners LLC. Ownership should be confirmed through the Houston County Tax Assessor's records, since a sale could close without public announcement.
What happened to Sears at the Houston County Galleria?
Sears closed its Galleria store during the company's bankruptcy. Conn's HomePlus moved into the space and closed after its own 2024 bankruptcy. The former Sears box was then re-tenanted by Big Air Trampoline Park and Crunch Fitness, which the sale listing cites as a successful anchor repositioning.
What is Centerville's Town Center Master Plan?
Centerville adopted a Town Center Master Plan in 2016 to develop the land around the Houston County Galleria into a denser mixed-use district that could function as a downtown for the city. Center Park on East Church Street, opened in 2020, was the first public component, and the Abbington at Galleria apartments were the first private residential component. The city has said it will not buy land or construct buildings itself but will seek private developers.
Would a new owner need city approval to redevelop the Galleria?
The sale itself is a private transaction requiring no public input. Any redevelopment that changes the use of the site or requires rezoning, subdivision or new construction would go through the City of Centerville's planning and zoning process, which includes public hearings for rezoning requests.
How does the Galleria sale affect Centerville home values?
A pending commercial sale does not change residential values directly, and the mall has been listed for more than a year. Redevelopment by a future owner could add residential density, traffic and amenities around Watson Boulevard and East Church Street over time. Centerville homes sell within the Warner Robins MLS reporting area, which posted a $228,000 median across 69 closings in August 2026.
What other growth is planned in Centerville?
Houston County Schools has said it expects roughly 1,000 homes in the Centerville Elementary attendance zone over the next few years and has proposed moving about 125 students to Eagle Springs Elementary in 2027. Warner Robins' Operation Reawaken is assembling a mixed-use downtown at Commercial Circle a short drive east of the Galleria.
Where is the Houston County Galleria?
The Houston County Galleria is at 2922 Watson Boulevard in Centerville, Georgia, in the center of the city near Target, Hobby Lobby and Academy Sports, roughly 3 miles east of I-75 at Exit 146 and west of the Warner Robins city line. It is the only enclosed regional mall in Houston County.
