Ground has broken recently on a 14,600-sf building for the YMCA, which will be positioned between two existing class A buildings with a combined 220,000 sf. A 55,000-sf structure in the one-time three-building NEC campus has been razed in the campus redo.

Todd R. Noonan, a Stream Realty senior associate, tells GlobeSt.com that more tenant pacts will close in the near future for the campus, located at the corner of Walnut Hill Lane and Hurd Drive. Noonan and Stream vice president Paul R. Moser have represented the property owner, Dallas-based Crow Holdings. Eliza Solender of Dallas' Solender/Hall Inc. has acted on the YMCA's behalf

Crow had bought the NEC campus in December 2000. The property makeover got under way after NEC vacated in March. The YMCA will provide on-site fitness and child-care services to Las Colinas Commons tenants as well as the community at large. "It's going to be a fantastic amenity," Noonan says.
