The final steel beam was lowered into place on the plaza canopy on Friday, completing the major structural phase of MarketFront construction. Cheers to Sellen Construction, Pike Place Market, and ALL our Pike Up! supporters who’ve helped us reach this historic moment! And thank you, Won Moc of Sellen Construction for these great photos.

On Saturday, Oct. 8 we bid farewell to the tower crane.

We’re happy to report that construction of the plaza, new businesses, and low-income housing continues on schedule.
