Galveston Seeks Developer for Mixed-Use Stewart Beach Waterfront Project

Galveston is seeking a private developer to build a mixed-use beachfront destination at the city-owned Stewart Beach site.

By Colin Percy · May 26, 2026

The city of Galveston has officially issued a request for proposals to redevelop the Stewart Beach property into a comprehensive, year-round destination. The project seeks to replace the aging Stewart Beach Pavilion, which was demolished in late 2024, with a mixed-use development potentially featuring restaurants, hospitality, entertainment, public amenities, and structured parking.

Interested developers have until 10 a.m. on June 18 to submit their solicitations. The initiative is aimed at fostering a more resilient and active recreational asset while preserving public access to the beachfront.
