Giarratana Development has been enlisted for the Downtown YMCA redevelopment project, which involves transforming the YMCA’s downtown campus into a 60-story residential tower which is estimated at $350 million, along with some additional onsite features.
The Downtown YMCA redevelopment project which is to take place at the YMCA’s Church Street location, will cover the redevelopment of two buildings on YMCA’s 0.9-acre downtown campus. The older of the two buildings, which was built in 1978 will undergo extensive modifications and afterwards, it will be joined to the second building which was built in 2008. This entire development will occupy about 100,000 square feet, of which 60,000 square feet of would be new.
