Union Market

Union Market District, a culinary destination and entrepreneurial center, embodies the flourishing, creative, urban fabric of DC. With the interior spine designated a historic district in 2016, the area has balanced its unique character while also welcoming exciting new uses. Several major development projects underway will deliver millions of square feet for residential, retail, educational, and office uses and continue to bring energy and activity to this neighborhood in northeast DC.
