Details are out for The Shoppes at Kemah, an 11.7-acre development underway on Deke Slayton Hwy. (FM 518) near SH
146. The 80,000+ SF center will include Petco, Marshalls, Ross Dress for Less, ULTA Beauty and Rack Room Shoes. The
developer, GBT Realty Corp., says that only 6,400 SF remain available. The new $16 million shopping center is next to Wal-

Royal Cove in Seabrook – The area along the 2600 block of E. NASA Parkway will soon look very different. Now that Barge
295 has opened in place of the long-floating Turtle Club, owner/developers have something new in mind. Floating barges
will be brought in for commercial / retail / restaurant use in the canal area of Clear Lake. The barges will range in size from
2,500 SF to nearly 4,000 SF. Several walkways will connect this new commercial area called Royal Cove to the restaurants
nearby. The first barge is expected before year’s end. This district in Seabrook along NASA Parkway is well-suited as a retail
development area for new businesses as well as those relocating from the SH 146 (expansion project). For this and other
available real estate available in the district, please click here or contact Seabrook Economic Development Corporation at
