UOVO is opening a brand-new art storage facility in Aspen — tripling our available capacity and giving collectors and local businesses a resource to lean on as the Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) prepares for an eight-month closure.
How big is UOVO’s expansion in Aspen?
We’re opening a new UOVO Aspen facility at 404 Aspen Airport Business Center, tripling our available storage capacity in the Aspen market from roughly 7,000 cubic feet to approximately 24,000 cubic feet. The new building includes concierge art storage services alongside customizable private storage rooms, giving private collectors, institutions, and local businesses considerably more room for secure storage and collection care in the mountain region.
What services and amenities does the new facility offer?
Alongside concierge storage services, the new facility features customizable private storage rooms for clients who need dedicated, secure space tailored to their collection or project. UOVO Aspen continues to operate in conjunction with UOVO Denver, backed by a dedicated fleet of specialty art-transport vehicles as part of UOVO’s interstate National Shuttle service, plus an in-house crate shop for packing and transport needs.
Why is UOVO Aspen expanding now?
This expansion reflects a long-term commitment to the Aspen market and an effort to meet growing demand for collection storage. The opening of our new facility arrives ahead of the planned eight-month closure of ASE, giving UOVO’s clients a fully operational, expanded resource well before airport construction begins.
“Aspen has always been central to UOVO’s presence in the mountain region, and this expansion is our long-term commitment to the community. Tripling our capacity here ensures that Aspen’s collectors can always receive the best care possible, especially when facing the unique challenges of the year ahead.”
— Nihad Ajan, AVP of Operations, UOVO
How does the airport closure affect collectors, house managers, and local businesses?
Aspen/Pitkin County Airport (ASE) is planning a closure expected to run from spring through fall 2027 while it undergoes construction of a new passenger terminal and runway reconstruction, and the closure is expected to last roughly eight months.
An extended airport closure creates real logistical pressure for anyone managing property, projects, or inventory in the valley. Family offices and house managers overseeing seasonal residences, contractors coordinating renovation or construction timelines, and hotels or commercial businesses near the airport corridor are all likely to feel the disruption directly — whether that means limited access for deliveries, a compressed project calendar, or the need to temporarily relocate furniture, equipment, and collections.
How can UOVO help during the ASE airport closure?
UOVO’s expanded Aspen facility and expert handling team give clients a secure, local partner to de-install, move, stage, and store collections, furniture, and equipment well in advance of the closure. Rather than scrambling for space once construction begins, clients can use the runway now to plan renovation projects, stage materials, or place items in secure storage for the duration of the closure — and have them ready to redeploy once the airport reopens.
What is UOVO’s history and presence in Aspen?
UOVO first entered the Aspen market in 2022 with the acquisition of Art Forward, based at 401 Aspen Airport Business Center. This latest expansion is a seamless relocation to the new, larger facility next door at 404 Aspen Airport Business Center — building on four years of local presence with a substantially larger footprint.
