It will also include construction of an additional building to deliver 109 affordable homes for households over 55 years.
Being developed by Wilder Balter Partners, 62 Main will be built on a one-acre land with frontage on Main Street and Windle Park.
The project will involve transformation of the four-storey Main Street building, which was built in 1911, into modern apartments with several common areas.
62 Main will see the demolition of two additional YMCA buildings in the rear of the property and construction of a four-storey building.
