(OBI) has proposed the creation of a public market in downtown Green Bay's Broadway District. The preliminary concept plan includes 42,965 square feet with room for approximately 20 businesses, a community event space, demo kitchen, dining area, and additional tenant space. Vendor prospects will include a mix of prepared and fresh food. In other communities across the world, public markets have pr
oven to be catalytic projects for new development. There is a three-part vision for this project that calls for the development of adjacent properties with housing, commercial space, parking infrastructure, and pedestrian friendly amenities. A press conference was held on January 26, 2022 to announce the project with initial tenants including One Barrel Brewing Co., West Coast Seafood and Chowder, Voyageurs Bakehouse (new concept) and Gather (new concept). Additionally, General Capital announced their intention to construct a 92-unit apartment complex on the parking lot behind the facility with structured parking to service tenants, visitors and the Broadway District. The market is expected to attract nearly one million regional visitors with its adjacent location to the Farmers’ Market on Broadway that currently draws 250,000 visitors annually, and nearby Lambeau Field and Titletown District. OBI purchased Old Fort Square (home of the proposed public market) in April 2022 and is currently working on a capital campaign and funding strategy. OBI will be the owner and operator of the public market. Follow this page for updates and announcements as we work towards development and the opening of the Green Bay Public Market.
