ChannelTwoNews Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 I didn't want to create a third thread about a 14-ish story hotel with 300+ rooms, but I did find this on The Mathis Group's website. Any chance it might be the Margaritaville Resort they mention? http://www.mathisgroup.com/news-2/#Margaritaville "TMG+ is providing preconstruction and construction management on the new Margaritaville Resort in Galveston, Texas. The beachfront project will include a 314-guestroom tower, several restaurants and bars and an expansive water park. Gensler is providing the design." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DotCom Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 https://www.galvnews.com/business/buzz/biz-buzz-margaritaville-rumors-resurface-on-island-walmart-plans-major-makeover-in-kemah/article_97bc4b2d-7a00-59bb-9b79-74f3f57a57bb.html Feb 17, 2023 The property is zoned resort/recreation, which allows for a hotel and the associated amenities, said Catherine Gorman, assistant director in the city’s Development Services Department. But the developers will need a beachfront construction/dune protection permit and building permit to start construction, for which they submitted applications in October. “The permits have been applied for but not yet issued,” Gorman said. “They are still under review.” District 3 Councilman David Collins, who represents the island’s East End, was aware of the hotel plans but said developers would have to clear some hurdles, including with agencies charged with protecting nearby wetlands and the Texas General Land Office, which oversees public beaches. Rumors about potential hotels rising in the Grand Beach development have for years made the rounds. Some residents of nearby condominium developments on East Beach Drive — Islander East and Palisade Palms — had initial concerns the development would be a Margaritaville Resort, which for several years now has been searching for a suitable island site, along with that lost shaker of salt. Insiders say the worry was about whether the Jimmy Buffett-themed Margaritaville would attract a hard-partying college crowd. But Margaritaville concepts generally are marketed as upscale, laidback and family oriented, according to some industry reports. Officials with RREAF this week declined to discuss the Galveston development, telling Biz Buzz the company would reach out when it was ready to make announcements. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 RREAF is seeking city council permission to add 278 homes on 63 acres adjacent to its Margaritaville resort development. https://www.galvnews.com/news/dallas-real-estate-firm-plans-278-homes-near-galvestons-east-beach/article_182b6a86-f2b2-5c4b-bb87-67c5abbd50ad.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texan Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 The variance request for the single family development, dubbed "Casaritaville" was denied by the city but construction equipment has begun arriving at the site for the Margaritaville resort. Pile-driving cranes have arrived so construction is likely imminent if it hasn't already begun. https://www.galvnews.com/news/construction-begins-on-margaritaville-resort-near-galvestons-east-beach/article_dfe754b0-7929-5d33-bc37-a7c00a63e4ef.html 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 Some commentary from the president of RREAF at a recent event. Sadly no status update on a groundbreaking date. I'm starting to think some developers may be holding off on projects scheduled to break ground this summer anticipating interest rate cuts in September (such as Tiara on the Beach). "The resort will be set on a 90-acre site, which will also include 279 elevated single-family homes with a dedicated amenity deck, Schwab said. “We’re dead set on providing the finest residential community on the Texas coast,” he said. “Our numbers indicate that we’re going to be able to do that. Our market study indicates that Galveston Island is ripe for it.” The developers are also lobbying Magaritaville’s cruise line, Margaritaville at Sea, to be part of the development, RREAF Holdings Chairman and CEO Kip Sowden said, adding that the cruise terminal would garner interest from across the state." https://www.bisnow.com/houston/news/commercial-real-estate/developers-want-galveston-county-to-be-a-high-quality-tourist-destination-no-matter-the-weather-125165 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
