Eastern Market

As the Architect and Historic Consultant on Eastern Market, Kraemer Design Group oversaw the complete rehabilitation of the historic steel frame, concrete and masonry Shed 3—which included more natural light, increased flexibility for traffic flow, and better amenities. We also served as the Architect on Shed 5, an important addition of which was a community kitchen facility—a rentable commercial kitchen space, giving local start-up businesses better and more affordable access to facilities for the production of their food products, while providing more local options for food sources in the Detroit area. The renovations provide a more enjoyable shopping experience for visitors to the historic market. The transformation led by KDG has created a lasting mark for both customers and vendors on the experience of Eastern Market, which has been in continuous operation since 1891.
