An Early Site Visit at the James Beard Public Market in Downtown Portland

The exterior of the two buildings that will be home to the James Beard Public Market

Last week I had a chance to join local media for an early site visit at the James Beard Public Market. These two buildings—the ground floor of the 100-year old Selling Building at SW 6th and Alder (610 SW Alder) and its neighbor, the old Rite-Aid (622 SW Alder)—will bring a world-class public market back to Portland. And it was pretty cool to see the insides and envision what is to come.

NOTE: These interiors are very rough and in a pre-construction shape, so keep that in mind.
