The backstory
After experiencing a $50 million revenue loss during the pandemic and evaluating the long-term operational sustainability of its centers, YMCA officials began developing a real estate strategy as part of its 10-year vision that included closing the Alvin location, according to a YMCA news release.
Next steps
Memorial Hermann, which occupied space in the facility to provide sports medicine and rehabilitation services, will continue to operate in the facility alongside the building's new owners, according to the city's post.
