The Mosaic to open at Eastern Market

Robert Montwaid, the founder and creator of Gansevoort Market in New York City and Chattahoochee Food Works in Atlanta, has signed a lease agreement to create an expansive food hall and outdoor area covering close to 30,000 square feet in Detroit’s Eastern Market District. Located at 3500 Riopelle Street in the former Detroit Water Department building, The Mosaic at Eastern Market will be a six-acre site featuring soaring 30-plus foot ceilings and mezzanines, restaurant offerings, food-related retailers, entertainment venues, outdoor gardens and patio nodes, along with a dynamic rooftop patio. The property developers promise to provide an eclectic culinary and retail destination for nearby residents and visitors from throughout the region. “Eastern Market is the one place in Detroit that brings people from throughout the region to the same place each week, and we expect to offer something special in this area that our guests have never seen before,” said Montwaid. “We think this is the perfect location for a family-friendly food hall that will feature talented small and independents chefs from the local Detroit area and the region.” The $33 million project is expected to start construction this year with completion in 2024. 3500 Riopelle Street, Detroit themosaicdetroit.com
