YHLA with Pyatok Associates, designed this renovation of a historic marketplace to include a new food hall, restaurants, retail, office and residential units. Our design retained 75% of the existing structure and restored the food inspired terra cotta glazed brick ornamentation and street facades retaining the aesthetic of its historical roots as a major grocery shopping destination while modernizing and incorporating new offices and residences into the project. YHLA provided master planning, commercial and retail design as well as public courtyard design and street and sidewalk improvements.
