Downtown’s Townlake YMCA is poised to undergo a redevelopment project that will include a new facility and housing on the property.
Greater Austin YMCA plans to sell a portion of its 4.8-acre lot to the City, where the plan is to build a one structure for affordable housing units and three structures for market-rate condominiums. Early drafts include a minimum of 90 rental units and a maximum of 750 condos.
Greater Austin YMCA will also build a brand new, 100,000-sqft facility on its remaining land. The new YMCA will have a mental health + counseling space, a performing arts theater, a rooftop garden, art studios, coworking spaces, meeting spaces, and 50,000 sqft of youth programming space.
The current Townlake YMCA facility is around 75,000 sqft, was built in 1970, and serves ~400,000 visits per year. Officials hope to break ground in 2028.
