Organizers of the project to build a public market in downtown Portland released new renderings of the space on Tuesday, ones they say represent an evolving vision informed by the location’s history.
The James Beard Public Market will fill a 40,000 square-foot space, occupying the ground floor of the historic Selling Building at the corner of Southwest 6th and Alder, as well as three floors of the connected Market Building. Organizers say it will include lumber sourced from the sustainably managed timberlands of the Coquille Tribe.
