Two more townhome buildings will rise at 302 15th Street North, a site near St. Pete's bustling EDGE District where developer Onyx+East is building a 26-unit townhome community.

"The EDGE District is vibrant, and we are excited to be a part of its momentum. It was a target for us as we look to provide housing opportunities for all kinds of urban neighborhoods," Onyx+East CEO Kelli Lawrence said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising.

"All the townhomes in the Alante development have rooftop terraces on the fourth floor, providing views of the downtown skyline and Tropicana Field," she added. 

The Indianapolis-based developer started construction on the $21 million Alante project in 2021, having now nearly completed four of the six buildings. The 1.1-acre property was previously home to the St. Pete Eco-Village.

The second and final phase will wrap construction later this year.

The townhomes feature several floorplans ranging from 1,708 to 2,077 square feet, with two to three bedrooms, two-and-a-half to three bathrooms, and one- to two-car garages. The three-story townhomes also come with pre-wired smart home technology.

Each unit has an open-concept layout, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood-style flooring, and a fenced-in yard.

The fourth-floor rooftop terraces vary from 408 to 464 square feet.

Custom design packages are available for select townhomes.

Lawrence said the team has sold 17 of the 26 units.

Initially, the townhome prices started in the $400,000s; however, due to escalating construction costs and market conditions, the prices now vary from the $700,000s to the $900,000s.

"We weren't able to complete the first few buildings as quickly as we hoped because we were in the middle of those supply chain challenges that affect the whole industry, but we've seen many of those issues level out to where our construction times are much more predictable," Lawrence said. "It's smooth sailing now as we complete the last buildings."

Onyx+East is working with St. Pete-based PLACE Architecture on the project. 

This is Onyx+East’s second project in St. Petersburg. The group's first development was Six Point Row, a 19-unit community completed in 2022 at 2611 1st Avenue North in the Grand Central District.

"The housing market is extremely strong. There needs to be more supply," Lawrence said. "We love Kenwood, Uptown, and other neighborhoods in the core of St. Pete that we would like to expand our brand into."

Onyx+East is also the developer behind the upscale Alcove at Hyde Park townhome community in South Tampa.
