Mixed-Use Space Coming to Brooklyn

Only a few weeks ago there was a ribbon cutting ceremony for a very exciting new cultural hub in downtown Brooklyn. Called the L10 Arts and Cultural Center, this location will have a cinema and archival space for the Brooklyn Academy of Music, a gallery and performance space for the Museum of Contemporary African Diasporan Arts, the first physical location for 651 ARTS and a branch of the Brooklyn Public Library.

The center was made possible with an $84 million city investment and will have 460,000 square feet of mixed-use space. Part of the space will include 76 units of affordable housing.

As Mayor Eric Adams explained, “From music to movies to art, our city’s cultural organizations bring people together, uplift communities, and power our economy. With this $80 million investment in the L10 Arts and Cultural Center, we will do all three. Alongside a record investment in the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and our commitment to expanding the city’s Cultural Institutions Group to support even more cultural organizations, this project is just one of the many ways we are bolstering our cultural sector and making New York City the best place to raise a family.”
