Uovo, an art logistics and storage company, intends to construct a 240,000 sq. ft facility in Bushwick, Brooklyn, to supplement its existing location opened in 2020. The new site, which includes climate-controlled storage and amenities, is awaiting local government approval. While the project has garnered significant community backing, concerns persist regarding local housing shortages and rising costs. Despite critiques, proponents argue it will provide much-needed employment and bolster cultural and artistic endeavors in New York City.
Although the area has been historically occupied by warehouses, some community members are contesting the project, arguing that it will exacerbate an existing housing shortage in the neighbourhood and contribute to increasing rental costs, among other concerns.
Uovo, whose art clients include museums like the Metropolitan Museum of Art and collectors like Juan Antonio Pérez Simón, is seeking approval from municipal officials to upzone a parking lot at 74 Bogart Street for the development.
