Demolition began on the 37-year-old B. Paul Katz Professional Center on Palm Coast Parkway and Florida Park Drive South on July 10. 

The demolition permit was issued June 26, with Samsula Demolition of New Smyrna Beach listed as the contractor. 

The building — commonly known as the "SunTrust building" until the bank left the location in 2019 — was constructed in 1986, sits on 2.9 acres of land and is valued at $2 million, according to the Flagler County Property Appraiser's website.

Ray Tyner, deputy chief development officer with the city of Palm Coast, said the contractors have been demolishing the inside of the building over the last several weeks, and external demolition began on July 10 following the Fourth of July holiday. 

An application by RMC Property Group for a new Wawa at the site is under review by city staff.
