Galveston Condos: Tiara on the Beach Breaks Ground
After years of anticipation and delays, Galveston is finally getting a new luxury condominium project—Tiara on the Beach, the island’s first major condo development in over 15 years. The groundbreaking ceremony is set to take place on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 10525 San Luis Pass Road, marking a significant milestone for both the developer and the community.
Tiara on the Beach Will Offer Upscale Condo Living
Houston-based developer Satya Inc., led by Sunny Bathija, is spearheading the $130 million project, which aims to redefine coastal luxury living in Galveston. Tiara on the Beach draws inspiration from upscale Miami beachfront properties, with a sleek, contemporary design featuring a 10-story tower and 63 high-end units overlooking the Gulf of Mexico.
Prices for the one, two, and three bedroom residences will range from $1.2 million to $3.5 million, with units starting at approximately 1,600 square feet. The top floor will include seven exclusive penthouses, offering expansive views and luxurious finishes.
Bathija noted that Tiara on the Beach is a response to growing demand for modern, amenity-rich coastal properties in Galveston. “Galveston is ready for a new project. There’s a lack of inventory, and the inventory which is there is dated,” he said in an earlier interview.
Tiara on the Beach is more than just a condo building—it’s a catalyst for renewed development on Galveston’s West End. Since the project was announced, the area has seen increased interest from other developers, including plans for an 80-unit tower nearby and a $250 million mixed-use beachfront development.
Tiara on the Beach Features and Amenities
Tiara on the Beach promises to deliver a lifestyle of unparalleled luxury. Each unit will feature floor-to-ceiling windows, expansive outdoor terraces, gourmet kitchens with upscale appliances, private elevators (in most units), and recessed LED lighting. The design focuses on blending contemporary elegance with the natural beauty of Galveston’s coastline.
The third floor will house a host of shared amenities, including:
- An infinity-edge pool with Gulf views
- A fitness center with a yoga studio
- A wine-tasting lounge and wine storage
- A game room with a golf simulator
- Personal storage areas and a media room
- Outdoor features like a pickleball/basketball court, grilling area, fire pit, jogging trail, and private beach access
Two levels of parking below the amenities will ensure convenience and security for residents.
Tiara on the Beach Long-Awaited Groundbreaking
Plans for Tiara on the Beach have been in the works since 2020, when Satya purchased the 2.9-acre site adjacent to the Diamond Beach Condominiums. Originally scheduled to break ground in 2022, the project faced delays due to permitting requirements from the City of Galveston, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Earlier this year, the International Bank of Commerce provided a $100 million loan to move the project forward, allowing Satya to finalize plans and prepare for construction.
What’s Next for Tiara on the Beach
Construction for Tiara on the Beach is expected to take 24 to 30 months, with completion anticipated by 2027. Nan and Company Properties, an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate, is managing sales, which began in 2022.
