The 5 Pointz graffiti warehouse is likely to be demolished by September
2013 and replaced by two apartment buildings if the property owner’s
plans are approved.
The development will include walls that graffiti artists can use to
display their art and there will be a small number of artist studios.
The Wolkoff family has owned the property for decades and has allowed
local artists to use the warehouse to display their work for years.
However, the developer believes that Jackson Avenue has undergone a
great deal of change in the past 10 years and that now is the
appropriate time to pursue residential development.
So even though all of the art will be brought down into a huge pile of rocks, the new building will feature walls for people to display there talents.
Maybe a piece of this building will be as valuable as some of the Berlin Wall.
