UOVO is pursuing municipal approval to construct a significant 240,000-square-foot art storage facility at 74 Bogart St., Bushwick. This new seven-story building aims to enhance UOVO’s existing 150,000-square-foot facility established in 2020, providing climate-controlled galleries and offering job opportunities for locals. However, the proposal faces criticism from the community over potential impacts on housing availability and escalating rents. UOVO has committed to assisting with improvements at the nearby Maria Hernandez Park as part of its development plan.
The proposed 240,000-square-foot art storage facility seeks to enhance UOVO's existing space, offering climate control while facing community concerns over housing and rent issues.
UOVO aims to complement its 150,000-square-foot facility by providing local employment opportunities, though tensions over rising rents and housing shortages have sparked opposition.
