Peter Thomas is thinking outside the box and dreaming big.

The onetime “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star told his followers on Tuesday that he is opening a supper club near the Overtown area.

“I got the keys,” Thomas says in an Instagram video. Behind him is an empty, cavernous space. “One Society Miami. Steakhouse. Supper Club. 2023.”

Thomas explains more in the caption:

“If you do nothing, nothing will happen,” the nightlife vet’s post reads. “I am on a mission to win, to change the narrative in Miami, of how we as a community is (sic) viewed. We can and we will do better for ourselves and our community, they are NOT better than us, I am on some KING s--t. “Let’s go. #blackexcel­lence.”

The 61-year-old Jamaican, who already owns the successful Bar One in Miami Beach, says the spot is in the “most prestigiou­s area of downtown, not Miami Beach, not Brickell, not Wynwood, not the Design District.”

It appears One Society will be near the MiamiCentr­al train station because Thomas says that he envisions people zipping in from Palm Beach on Brightline for the evening, grabbing dinner, seeing a show and then heading back home.

Thomas says he hopes to have about 10 live shows a week.

“The renaissanc­e movement in Overtown is back,” ends the announceme­nt.

Commenters seemed psyched for the opening and proud of Thomas’ ambition, calling him a “visionary.”

“You inspire, you motivate, you make eyes bigger and dreams ignite when you share and show what your passions are. THANK YOU for sharing this.”

“Love to see the growth!”
