History Development on The Silver City Galleria began in 1989, following the opening of the Emerald Square Mall in North Attleboro. ADD, Inc. designed the mall, and The Pyramid Companies planned and developed it at around the same time that several other malls in the region (Independence Mall, Now Kingston Collection, and Berkshire Mall) were being built. Construction on the Silver City Galleria began in July of 1990, and was completed in February of 1992. The Silver City Galleria opened on March 1, 1992. When The Silver City Galleria first opened, it was seemingly situated in the middle of nowhere; the surrounding area was a forest, with little to no other developments. However, its strategic location at the intersection of Routes 24 and 140 and its close distance to the I-495 allowed Silver City to draw traffic from towns and cities in all directions, including Boston, Worcester, and Providence. The modern mall quickly became a popular shopping destination in the state of Massachusetts, bringing fatal competition to many other malls such as the now-defunct Mill River Place. In 2002, Silver City Galleria was purchased in a joint venture between General Growth Properties and the Teachers' Retirement System of the State of Illinois in a $634 million deal that involved three other malls. 2016 attack On May 10, 2016, two people were stabbed at the mall shortly after another two were stabbed at a nearby residence.
