Kate Osmer's Company Details
The Market is a mixed-use facility that brings together production, distribution, marketing and education about locally produced foods. Our indoor market features 20+ food vendors and private event facilities. We offer several exceptional spaces throughout the site, including rentable incubator kitchens, rooftop greenhouses, and the nation's first demonstration kitchen for kids (you have to see it to believe it). The Market is LEED Gold certified, features a green roof, live walls, geotherm wells, rain gardens, and plenty of other innovative sustainable features.We wanted our Market's location to serve 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.Grand Rapids Downtown Market, Inc. operates the Market. Its board members include leaders from the local business, government and nonprofit sectors.
