About us
North Market Downtown, established in 1876, was the second of four public markets built throughout the City of Columbus (North, East, West, and Central). The vitality of the Market began to wane post World War II as population shifted from the city to the suburbs and the development of supermarkets. The Market was operating on a month-to-month lease with the city. The future was far from secure. During the 1980’s a national, growing recognition of public markets emerged. This enabled Columbus residents to rediscover their market. That idea, along with the fear that the city would tear down the Market to develop a parking lot for the planned Greater Columbus Convention Center, drove the creation of the North Market Development Authority (NMDA). This not-for-profit group of shoppers and merchants was established to “preserve and promote the traditional and cultural aspects of the historic North Market.” In 2016, the City of Columbus and North Market created a plan to solidify North Market in perpetuity by developing the property’s surface parking lot. The City launched a RFP process to find the right developer for the project. The North Market Mixed-Use Development Project moved forward after the RFP process yielded development partners The Wood Companies and Schiff Capital Group. Rockbridge Capital and Edwards Companies were later added to the development team. Groundbreaking on the innovative project is slated for 2022. In 2019, in partnership with developer Crawford Hoying, the North Market announced the building of a new North Market at the Bridge Park community in Dublin, Ohio. A brand new not-for-profit group, the Ohio Public Market Authority (OPMA), was created to encapsulate the market’s growth to once again bring a system of public markets to central ohio. North Market Bridge Park officially opened for business in November 2020.

We are excited to announce our newest addition to the North Market Downtown family: Littleton's Market Bakery! The new bakery will serve as production facility for the main Littleton’s Market grocery store in Upper Arlington, and will also feature a charming retail bakery and café. The menu will consist of a wide variety of baked goods, all made with the finest ingredients and crafted with passion and care. Littleton’s Market Bakery will be baking baguettes, focaccia, artisan hearth breads, and sourdoughs, as well as pastries such as croissants, cookies, scones and other desserts. The North Market operation will be led by Aaron Clouse, an esteemed pastry chef who has appeared on the Food Network and Desi Vasquez, who prior to Littleton’s Market was most recently an executive head baker of an artisan bakery in Houston. Both bring a breadth of innovation and expertise to this unique bakery experience. North Market and Littleton’s Market share a mission of promoting and incubating the “best in class” products and customer service with a strong focus on community.

For me, cranes mean progress. They exemplify growth and development. They are symbols of years of effort, planning, collaboration and overcoming challenge. They also mark new beginnings. In coordination with Rockbridge, The Edwards Companies Inc. and North Market Development Authority, Gilbane Building Company erected their crane for the Merchant Tower project, just a couple weeks. ago. It will be on site for nearly 3 years and will be, at times, the tallest crane in the Midwest. The project is a new beginning for an incredible 32 floor vertical neighborhood; bringing housing, office space, hospitality, entertainment and a 15K sf North Market expansion to the City of Columbus I've had the pleasure of being a small part of the massively complex building, as one of the original RFP respondents years ago, and now, through my advisory company, Kestrel Advisors, I'm the North Market Development Authority's representative. In this role, I'm driven by the chance to create long-term sustainability for the nonprofit Market, the opportunity to work with incredibly talented and smart humans (rick harrison wolfe, George B. Kauffman, Ben Pierson, James Merkel, John Pinholster, Julie Brownfield and Steve Alvarez to name just a few!) and in helping to solve incredibly complicated real estate challenges. Plus, cranes are just cool. 🏗 Come check out Columbus' newest crane and shop the Market!
