Description:

This exceptional ±8.53‑acre offering spans two strategically positioned parcels, including a ±4.93‑acre waterfront main campus and a ±3.6‑acre warehouse property directly across Broadway. The LEED‑certified, ±60,000 SF, five‑story main campus features 36 dorm rooms and 6 private suites totaling 216 beds, along with classrooms, conference areas, administrative offices, and a 3,000 SF commercial kitchen. Its signature 5th‑floor Commodore banquet hall—accommodating 180 seated or 333 standing—offers full A/V capabilities and sweeping bay views. A separate 3,000 SF office building further enhances operational flexibility. Recognized as the Best Event Venue in Galveston County (2020), the campus includes an open‑air chapel overlooking the marina and multiple indoor/outdoor event and retreat spaces.
The waterfront amenities are equally impressive, highlighted by a 33‑slip deep‑water marina with floating docks, two side‑tie slips for vessels up to 100 feet, a 5‑ton jib crane, launch ramp, and ADA‑accessible docks and pathways. Additional on‑site features include a lap pool with scuba well, solar pavilion, sand volleyball courts, and robust systems such as full ADA compliance, a 1,300 kVA Cummins diesel generator (utilized at only 40% load), and a comprehensive security network of over 100 cameras with audio and night vision.
Across Broadway, the ±5,029 SF warehouse on ±3.6 acres (built in 2015) offers two bay areas with a truck well, interior office space, loft storage, and ample room for expansion—ideal for storage, staging, vehicle or marine equipment, and overflow parking.
Originally constructed in 2015 as an institutional‑grade maritime education and recreation campus, the property was engineered to withstand up to Category 4 hurricanes. Its scale, infrastructure, and coastal positioning make it highly adaptable for education, workforce housing, wellness retreats, hospitality, government use, or full redevelopment—presenting a rare, turnkey opportunity along the Texas Gulf Coast.
