Old YMCA Gets New Life as Prado Conservatory | Jackson News

Jackson’s long-neglected Fortification Street YMCA is getting a dramatic makeover—thanks to DMG Real Estate Holdings and developer Gabriel Prado. After years of decay, the landmark building is set to become “Prado Conservatory,” delivering 60 new homes (with 100 more on the way) and pioneering enclosed paddle courts—a first for the city. Prado, no stranger to bold projects (including Top Golf in Ridgeland), is reviving the site with security already in place to keep squatters out. While city leaders admit they miss the old Y, they’re thrilled to see this derelict space reborn as much-needed housing and community recreation. This isn’t just renovation—it’s urban renewal with a twist. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
