Art gallery moves out of Wynwood and into A&E District

The Ascaso Gallery in Wynwood is moving out the artsy neighborhood and into Miami’s Arts & Entertainment District.

The gallery, known for showcasing Latin American art pieces, just inked an 11,400-square-foot lease at a warehouse along Northeast First Avenue and Northeast 13th Street, near the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.

Records show Gypsy K LLC, controlled by the Kluger family partnership, owns the 17,400-square-foot warehouse. Cornerstone International Realty represented the landlord. The space was previously occupied by a storage company and a fitness studio that hosted spinning classes.

Ascaso is downsizing from its location at 2441 Northwest Second Avenue.

Hector Cataño of Cornerstone said the gallery moved out of Wynwood because it was looking for more parking for its customers. The gallery will also be paying less than half of its Wynwood rent. Asking rent at the new location is $25 per square foot, according to Loopnet.
