Fresh International Market
North Point Breeze, Pittsburgh, PA
Status: Under Construction
Building Type: Grocery Store
Area: 36,500 SF
Situated in the Rockwell Park Development in North Point Breeze, the Fresh International Market is a renovation of a historic 1920s brick manufacturing warehouse. Fresh International, a nationwide franchise specializing in Asian foods, has transformed the 36,500-square-foot space to include an outdoor plaza, a hot bar café, a bubble tea beverage station, an Asian grocery store, and a new restaurant.
​
Previously obscured by modern structures added over the years, the building’s first renovation phase involved removing these coverings and restoring the masonry façade, along with adding historic warehouse-style windows.
​
The second phase introduced a new parking lot and exterior plaza. The height difference from the main road is utilized effectively, with the plaza rising to the main level to create tiered seating. Landscaping and lighting enhance the outdoor environment, providing a welcoming amenity for both the grocery store and the development.
