Fear of hurricanes isn't stopping big building on Galveston Island in Texas. The Palisade Palms currently consists of two modern curvilinear towers with panoramic views over the Gulf of Mexico. The Palisade Palms is the first "on the beach" condominium to be built on Galveston Island in more than 20 years and the 27-story towers offer easy access to the surf and sand of East Beach. The 288 units range from 1,000 to 3,000 square feet. Amenities include two pool areas with spa hot tubs, a plaza deck with a fire pit, fitness center, tennis court, media lounge, private party room, gazebo, concierge service and more. KHOU has a video on the project and reports that the project is already 95% sold out and that the developers are making plans to build six more towers next door. The units have been selling from $500,000 - $1.6 million.
