Just a few years ago, Bayview Correctional Facility in New York City was a notorious women’s prison with the highest reported rate of staff sexual violence of any prison in the United States. This month it was announced that, thanks to a partnership between the NoVo Foundation and the Goren Group, a woman-owned and -operated real estate development company, within a few years the infamous site is going to be transformed into The Women’s Building—a “vertical neighborhood” that will provide a setting for women’s organizations to unite, focus, and thrive.
