Historic Building 324 Revitalization Begins on Governors Island

Earlier this month, we kicked off the revitalization of historic Building 324 on Governors Island as part of our ongoing partnership with the Trust for Governors Island. Originally designed by May and Hillard as the Fort Jay YMCA in 1926, this 26,000-square-foot Neo-Georgian building once housed a club, offices, exercise rooms, and an outdoor swimming pool.

After years of vacancy, our team will focus on stabilizing the building’s core and exterior, addressing critical repairs while preserving its distinctive architectural elements in preparation for a new tenant.

This project not only safeguards a significant piece of Governors Island’s architectural heritage but also contributes to the island’s ongoing transformation into a vibrant year-round destination.
