Onyx Club demolished, 24-story tower to rise in its place

Onyx Club demolished, 24-story tower to rise in its place

Remains of a demolished building in downtown St. Pete

After years of speculation, the Onyx Club has officially been demolished. The process began in early December 2019. The club, located at the corner of 3rd Street and 2nd Avenue South, closed several years ago, and has sat vacant since 2015. Many residents wondered what the future held for the space.

It sits in a high traffic area, adjacent to the bustling downtown Publix plaza and Red Mesa Cantina Restaurant and Rooftop Bar.

Hundreds of new residential units

The tower could feature more than 200 apartment units, in addition to ample commercial space, according to a report by ABC Action News. City Officials hope to further activate the area and meet a surging demand for residential units.

Plans have not been finalized for the concept, and a construction timeline is still TBA.
