Jack London Market

By Dan

Oakland's new Jack London Square Market came one step closer to reality yesterday. Promising a public bazaar to rival the Ferry Building in San Francisco or the Pike Place Market in Seattle, developers and city leaders broke ground Monday on the much-anticipated Jack London Market, the cornerstone of efforts to rejuvenate Oakland's historic waterfront, the Oakland Tribune reported today. Formerly dubbed Harvest Hall, the six-story Jack London Market will be constructed on the Embarcadero between Webster and Harrison streets, across from the Amtrak station. Expected to be completed by early 2009, the new market will occupy 170,000 square feet of retail, restaurant and office space. The first floor will feature an open-air farmers market with local produce, artisan foods and fresh meat and fish halls. Bistros and restaurants are planned for the second floor, while culinary businesses and a professional chefs' kitchen are planned for the third floor. The top floors will include space for offices. A parking garage structure for the new market will be completed within 18 months, developers added.
