A 33-story apartment building has been proposed for downtown St. Pete on a 0.88-acre site owned by St. Pete-based developer Echelon.

The development is being planned for the northwest corner of 3rd Avenue South and 3rd Street, which currently consists of a three-story office building and adjacent surface parking lot. The ground floor of the office building was formerly home to the Aveda on 3rd Salon, which recently merged with J.CON Salon & Spa on 4th Street North.

The project is being led by Cody LeClair, Echelon’s Vice President of Development, who is following in his father’s footsteps, Echelon’s President and CEO Darryl LeClair.
