ABOUTUS

WHAT BEGAN AS A DREAM FOR

A FEW COMMUNITY MEMBERS

SOON BECAME A REALITY, THANKS

TO THE LEADERSHIP OF GRAND

ACTION, THE PLANNING AND

CONSULTING OF TED SPITZER, AND

THE DESIGN IMPLEMENTATION BY

HUGH A. BOYD ARCHITECTS.

The Market is a mixed-use facility that brings together production, distribution, marketing and education about local agriculture. The indoor facility features a 24-vendor market hall. We offer several exceptional spaces throughout the site, including rentable incubator kitchens, rooftop greenhouses, and the nation’s first teaching kitchen for kids (you have to see it to believe it). The Market is LEED Gold-certified (also the first in the nation), featuring a green roof, live walls, geothermal wells, rain gardens, and plenty of other innovative sustainable features.

The Market’s location serves as a focal point within the city, while revitalizing a previously neglected area. The Market continues to spark redevelopment of nearby properties while reintroducing community neighbors to a once underutilized Grand Rapids locale.

Downtown Market, Inc. operates the Market. Its board members include leaders from local business, government and nonprofit sectors.
