South Padre Island Makeover in progress
South Padre Island Texas is transforming into one of the premier resorts in the country, with major new construction projects, a new Municipal Complex, convention center, birding center, church on the bay and new main boulevard. It's something to behold such a massive scale of transformation.
The following images can give you some idea:
Major New Construction Projects on the Island
 
New Municipal Complex
 
New Main Boulevard and South Padre Island Convention Center
The Padre Boulevard Improvement Project is one of the most important and beneficial projects in the history of the South Padre Island community. This project will provide the greatest improvements in traffic and pedestrian safety and movement, beautification, and storm water drainage on Padre Boulevard since its original paving. The first phase of the Padre Boulevard Improvement Project is the placement of important physical elements in the center of the boulevard where a wide unlimited two-way left turn lane now exists. Improvements to be placed in this zone will include carefully crafted landscaped medians with protected traffic turning lanes for motorist’s safety, professional designed pedestrian crossings with advance lighting as well as decorative lighting fixtures throughout the project area. The first placement of these improvements will begin as early as November and will occur in the area from intersection of the Frontage Road and Park Road 100 to just north of Dolphin Street.
Also See World Birding Center
At the southern tip of the world's longest barrier island, the South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center will be a spectacular introduction to a world-class destination. The Birding and Nature Center will be the location for the South Padre Island site of the World Birding Center. Located on Laguna Madre waterfront, this facility will connect with the existing Laguna Madre Nature Trail. With over 306 recorded bird species and the convergence of neo-tropical songbirds that occur during the spring and fall migrations, the Island has become one of the premier birding locations in the Western Hemisphere.
