UOVO aims to build a new 240,000 sq. ft. art storage facility in Brooklyn's Bushwick neighborhood. This building will be developed on a currently vacant lot and expand the company's footprint in an area already home to its existing facility. Community concerns are surfacing regarding the impact of such commercial development on residential displacement. UOVO has faced past criticism over labor practices, including allegations of retaliating against employees who attempted to unionize. There is an ongoing dialogue about balancing commercial interests with the needs of the local community in District 34.
There are signs of community pushback online to UOVO's proposed plan, with a circulating open letter addressed to a Brooklyn zoning board raising concern over the effects of developing such a large commercial area in an area that has experienced extensive residential displacement.
UOVO aims to convert the Bushwick lot into a storage space for private and corporate owners of artworks, wine collections, and fashion archives but has faced criticism over its labor practices.
