BURLINGTON, Vt. – Local commercial contractor ReArch Construction is halfway through a transformation of the old YMCA building.

The $42.5 million project consists of reimagining the existing property as a six-story apartment community – preserving its original façade –  and adding a substantial addition.

Developed and delivered as a joint venture between Seizan Capital LLC and Greencastle Group LLC, the project broke ground in 2025 and is on track for a June 2027 completion.

ReArch Construction is serving as the construction manager. Smith Buckley Architects is leading the design team.

The renovation plans include:

  • Preservation of the historic brick façade at the corner of College and South Union Streets
  • 79 apartments
  • Below-grade parking
  • Brick and architectural siding
  • A design that meets LEED Gold standards
  • Vehicular traffic entry/exit from the west side of the project
