May 25, 2025 - The former YWCA building located at 40 W Long Street in downtown Columbus, Ohio.
"A plan to renovate the former Downtown YMCA building will be moving forward after receiving design approval from the Downtown Commission today.
Representatives of the developer, Woda Cooper Companies, explained to the board that they will be seeking historic tax credits for the project and that all of the preservation requirements of that program will be followed. That means that the building’s decorative masonry work will be cleaned and its windows replaced, but the overall appearance will not change much. A new enclosed stairwell will be added to the rear of the building to provide a safer means of exit for residents than the outdoor fire escapes that are there now.
The renovation, which could take as long as two years to complete, will turn the building into a 121-unit affordable housing complex. Rents in the apartments will be affordable to tenants earning between 30 and 80 percent of the area median income (AMI).
Jonathan McKay of Woda Cooper said that 33 of the units will be rented to those earning 80 percent of the AMI (or around $66,000 for a family of two), while the rest of the units would be reserved for households earning between 30 and 60 percent.
The century-old building, located at 40 W. Long St., served as the center of operations for the YMCA of Central Ohio for decades and was also home to approximately 400 people, who lived in dorm-style rooms with shared bathrooms. The condition of the living quarters and the cost to renovate the building were both cited as reasons by the organization to sell the property in 2019. Downtown Columbus Inc. bought the building in 2023 and selected Woda Cooper to head up the renovation.
Materials submitted to the commission show that the project will be called “The Lofts at 40 Long.” Previous article from: columbusunderground.com/plan-to-renovate-downtown-ymca-bu...

Back at the construction site in Jordbro. This was a quarry last year and a forest two years ago. One of a few construction sites around Haninge that I visit with a camera every now and then.
