NASA Parkway Center Makes Transition Easier

SEABROOK, TX—While the town celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2011, historic records date back to 1832 when Ritson Morris obtained a league of land from the Mexican government. A portion of the land was purchased by Seabrook W. Sydnor in 1895 and a plat was filed with the Harris County courthouse the following year.

In March 1903, the Seabrook Company of Houston filed a revised layout of the proposed Seabrook town site. Some years later in 1961, local leaders had the city incorporated.

In 1964, a bridge was built between Kemah and Seabrook, plus State Highway 146 was established as a four-lane highway. The bridge and highway allowed easy access to Seabrook along Galveston Bay and the small town began to grow considerably.

Five years after the bridge and four-lane highway were constructed, Mario's​ ​Flying​ ​Pizza​ opened in Galveston and was ​a​ ​staple​ ​in​ ​the​ ​Coastal​ ​Texas​ ​community. In​ ​1991,​ ​the​ ​popular​ ​spot​ ​opened​ ​a Seabrook​ ​restaurant.​ ​

Due​ ​to​ ​the​ ​recent​ ​Highway​ ​146​ ​expansion,​ ​Mario's​ ​was​ ​forced​ ​to​ ​move its ​Seabrook​ ​location​ ​and​ ​is​ ​now​ ​leasing​ ​3,500​ ​square feet ​at​ ​Seabrook​ ​Center​ ​at​ ​2100​ ​East​ ​NASA​ ​Pkwy.

“The expansion of Highway 146 and interchange with NASA Road 1 is the driving force for their relocation,” Derek Beck of​ ​Beck​ ​Group​ tells GlobeSt.com. “Many of the retailers and businesses in that area are being displaced. This is the best if not only alternative if a business wants to stay near the area.”

Seabrook​ ​Center,​ ​leased​ ​and​ ​managed​ ​by​ ​Beck​ ​and​ ​Brantly​ ​Minor​ ​of​ ​Discovery Consultants​ ​Commercial​ ​Real​ ​Estate​ ​Group,​ ​is​ ​a​ ​24,700-square-foot class​-​B​ ​office​ ​building.​ ​Its location along​ ​NASA​ ​Road​ ​Frontage provides​ ​high​ ​visibility​ ​and​ ​traffic​ ​count,​ ​and​ ​includes​ ​a​ ​parking​ ​ratio​ ​of​ ​5.8 per​ ​1,000​ ​square feet​ ​(145​ ​free​ ​surface​ ​parking​ ​spaces),​ ​pylon​ ​signage​ ​along​ ​NASA​ ​Road​ ​1​ ​and​ ​building​ ​facade signage.​ ​

Seabrook​ ​Center​ ​is​ ​less​ ​than​ ​40​ ​minutes​ ​from​ ​Hobby​ ​Airport​ ​and​ near ​banks, hotels,​ ​dining,​ ​the​ ​University​ ​of​ ​Houston​ ​Clear​ ​Lake,​ ​Johnson​ ​Space​ ​Center​ ​and​ ​Kemah​ ​Boardwalk,​ ​and boasts​ ​easy​ ​access​ ​via​ ​Interstate 45​ ​Gulf​ ​Freeway​ ​via​ ​the​ ​NASA​ ​Road​ ​Bypass.​ ​Space​ ​is​ ​available​ ​in​ ​the​ ​building.

“We're​ ​disappointed​ ​to​ ​be​ ​displaced​ ​from​ ​our original​ ​location,​ ​but​ ​finding​ ​2100​ ​NASA​ ​Parkway​ ​has​ ​made​ ​the​ ​transition​ ​so​ ​much​ ​easier,” ​says ​Mario's​ ​Seabrook​ ​owner​ ​​William​ ​Whitney​. “​The​ ​building​ ​is in​ ​a​ ​great​ ​location​ ​with​ ​easy​ ​access​ ​and​ ​lots​ ​of​ ​parking.”​ ​

Today, more than 12,000 people call Seabrook home, with a business-friendly climate and affordable waterfront property along Clear Lake and Galveston Bay. The area has a mixture of recreational and commercial resources that brings visitors from across the nation.
