It is currently home to the Jim & Heather Gills YMCA which is the flagship location for the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg. The facility features an indoor pool, rock climbing walls, and a full-sized gym among other amenities.
While the property serves the YMCA well, its leadership has started to explore ways to better utilize the site.
“The YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg (YGSP) Board of Directors and leadership staff believe the time is ripe for exploring and possibly even reimagining how this facility could serve our members and the broader community,” says David Jezek, President and CEO of the YMCA of Greater St. Petersburg in a statement to St. Pete Rising.
“Therefore, we initiated a Request For Expressions of Interest (RFEI) process with developers earlier this year to help us research forward-thinking, long-term solutions that align with the future vision for the neighborhood.”
