BUFFALO, N.Y. — If city leaders, including directors from Buffalo Urban Development Corp., have their druthers, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery will retain exhibition space within Northland Beltline neighborhood permanently.
Albright-Knox, in mid-April, announced it wants to relocate a 15,000-square-foot exhibition space in a former Houdaille Industries building at 612 Northland Avenue while the gallery undergoes its $155 million expansion. The Albright-Knox construction is expected to start this fall and could take at least two years to complete.
While the gallery will be closed during the construction period, it is negotiating a three-year lease for the former Houdaille building at 612 Northland Avenue with Buffalo Urban Development Corp., which is overseeing the entire Northland Beltline project.
