It'd be great if another fitness company was able to take over the space but it would be a decent sized risk for them. Huge renos would be needed to add amenities that couldn't be found elsewhere. It's just not an easy spot to access for people that don't live around it.
At the same time if the future redevelopment plan happens the Y could be a great feature for the area. Obviously the green line and Eau Claire development are somewhat uncertain and many years out so it might not make sense to sit on the asset for 10 years waiting for projects to be completed.
