Re: New Downtown YMCA
When's the earliest construction will start on this site? I saw the YMCA would need a substantial fund raising and that takes time - serious time.

I believe in the article they said a 2016 opening will be possible IF fundraising and everything go exactly as planned.

my favorite part of the rendering is how they felt the need to remove a number of historic lights from view, but adding a fire hydrant was necessary

Peter DeSilva, president and chief operating officer of UMB Financial Corp., said the Y has been approached by the owner of the Lyric at 11th and Central streets, which was purchased by DST Realty in 2007.
In addition, VanTrust Real Estate is pitching to the Y a site in the East Village development area east of the J.E. Construction Co. garage at 11th and Cherry streets.

Did fund raising hit a snag? Cuz we already went through this site selection 2 years ago.

Re: New Downtown YMCA
Here is a rendering of the proposed YMCA on Grand. I haven't seen it posted here before.
I don't know where the proposal stands now--since there was mention of re-using the Lyric Theater in a different YMCA plan.

Instead of the "put a bird on it" portlandia hipster quote- I think the KC urbanist design quote should be "put a tower on it".chingon wrote:"design sucks/not tall enough/looks like 119th and black bob/cheap materials/needs ground floor retail"
Edit: B/C "put a tower on it" was actually my first thought...
