A brief is a short version of a case study.
Union Market is an indoor food hall that opened in 2012 in a historic market space in Washington, D.C. It also includes pop-up retail space, an event venue, and numerous outdoor gatherings. The project developer and owner, EDENS, embraces Union Market’s role as a hub for social interaction and works to actively facilitate opportunities for local chefs and food producers to open or expand businesses in and around the market. As of 2016, Union Market sees an average of 15,000 visitors per weekend and has hosted over 400 events. The market will anchor a burgeoning mixed-use district that is being developed in the surrounding area.
