Damaged Clearwater condo building partially reopens
May 13, 2025 - The South Beach III condominium building on Sand Key has partially reopened a week after authorities evacuated over 60 residents due to cracks in a support column. Contractors have implemented six conditions, including restricting all package deliveries to 75 pounds. Clearwater officials said Tuesday morning that the column was stabilized and the building is safe for occupation under the conditions. Contractors could rescind their approval "at any time."
