The James Beard Public Market is finally coming to downtown Portland
Plans have been floated for many years to bring a public market to Portland. It would be called the James Beard Public Market, and would be similar to Seattle’s Pike Place Market.
We’re much closer to this dream becoming reality, as the project’s backers have leased retail space and bought an adjacent building in the heart of downtown Portland, and design plans have been approved for these historic buildings.
The market will span 40,000 square feet at SW 6th and Alder. 40 individual spaces will include:
restaurant
bakery
cheese store
wine shop
teaching kitchen
cookbook store
butcher
fish market
event space
fresh fruits and veggies
We can’t wait to see this take shape!
