The James Beard Public Market is a proposed public market in Portland, Oregon.[1] It is named after James Beard, a Portland-born chef and cookbook writer. The market was planned to be located at the west end of the Morrison Bridge in downtown Portland, in what are currently parking lots, but this site was dropped in November 2016 after concerns over pedestrian accessibility due to the bridgehead ramps.[2] The developer, Melvin Mark Development, still plans to build a 17-story building at the same site.[3] Original designs for the market called for it to have two halls, totaling 80,000 square feet (7,400 m2),[4] along with 60 permanent and 30 to 40 temporary stalls for food vendors.[5] Design for the market is being led by the Norwegian architectural firm Snøhetta.
