Article about the growth occuring in Galveston includeing mentions of some of the projects listed on this thread. The developer of Palisade Palms, The Falcon Group, has purchased more land around their project for more residential tower projects in the future.

Residential development, propelled by an aging population looking for retirement, second-home and resort properties near saltwater, is also booming: An additional 9,500 residential units are expected to be built here by 2014.
