About 102 Kempner Avenue
39-space, fully zoned parking lot in Galveston’s downtown district, right on Harborside Drive across from the Port of Galveston. The Port of Galveston is the fourth busiest cruise port in North America and the only cruise home port in Texas. Port officials expect 3.9 million cruise passenger movements and 445 sailings in 2026, and the port’s fourth cruise terminal, a $156 million facility, opened in late 2025. Carnival, Royal Caribbean, Disney, Princess, Norwegian, and MSC all sail from Galveston, and the port projects that passenger movements could exceed 9 million annually by 2045. Downtown keeps a full calendar of events year-round. The famed Mardi Gras Galveston, Dickens on The Strand, the Lone Star Rally, the Galveston Island Shrimp Festival, and regular ArtWalks all bring big crowds to the blocks surrounding the lot. Add in The Strand’s shops, restaurants, and Pier 21 just steps away, and there never seems to be a dull moment. High traffic count.
