Fort Wayne Electric Works | Union Street Market

The Union Street Market is the spot for fresh, local food and more at Electric Works. With Weigand heading up restorations in this building and Elevatus planning the architecture, the space is occupied by dozens of local merchants and restaurants to try and love. Located in Buildings 20, 20A, and 22, Union Street Market is also the home of the Fort Wayne Farmer’s Market.

Back From the Past

Long before they were the site of the street market, Buildings 20, 20A, and 22 were the headquarters for maintenance, the phone department, the carpenter shop, and 10,000 IEUA transformer production. Each of these structures houses decades of history:

Building 20 was raised in 1907 Building 20A came in 1941 Building 22 first opened in 1917

This combination of shops, assembly lines, and storage space adds together a total of 44,328 square feet, a space larger than nine basketball courts grouped together.

Returned to Its Former Glory

Our construction teams focused on ensuring that every aspect of the job was handled with special care. Here are a few of the restorations that they made:

Installed new flights of stairs Secured corrugated metal paneling Built out restrooms and other amenities Poured and polished new concrete flooring Assembled new kitchens, storefronts, and countertops

Renovating three existing structures over 100 years old is no easy task, but our team delivered the facility on schedule as promised. We are humbled to be part of such a significant project in this community.
