The downtown Durham YMCA is set for a radical transformation in the coming years, after agreeing to a deal with a developer to build a 27-story tower on its Morgan Street property. The YMCA of the Triangle said this week it had selected Chapel Hill’s East West Partners to develop its property, where it will build a new space for the YMCA as well as offices and apartments.

The new Y facility will include a two-court gymnasium, an indoor track and two pools, among other amenities, McMillan said. East West, a prolific developer in the Triangle, was chosen after the Y opened a request for proposals to developers in 2018. Other East West projects include the Liberty Warehouse Apartments and The Bartlett condos in Durham as well as Village Plaza in Chapel Hill.
