📰About Verizon Kemah Shell
The Verizon Kemah Shell at 365 FM 518 in Kemah is a completed new construction project for a dark shell building intended for future tenant buildout. This 2,387 sq ft structure in Galveston County was privately funded by Edevelopment, with Estudio serving as the design firm of record. The project reached final completion with a passed inspection in February 2025, and TDLR closed the project file in September 2026, marking the end of the accessibility review process.
The estimated cost for this build was $1,000,000, resulting in a cost per square foot of $419. This figure is above the county median of $116 per sq ft for similar new construction filings in Galveston County. The scheduled build window was 120 days, which is shorter than the county median of 214 days for projects of this type. Construction began in October 2024 following the September 2024 TDLR registration.
