Union Market developer seeks $90 million boost from city

The developer of the popular D.C. foodie destination Union Market is pushing city officials to fund $90 million in street and infrastructure improvements to support plans it and other developers have to add apartments, office space, hotels, a movie theater and other amenities.

Edens, based in South Carolina, opened Union Market in Northeast D.C. in 2012. Featuring mostly local vendors selling gelato, olive oil, oysters and other specialties, it is an upscale retail presence in the warehouse district between Florida and New York avenues. It draws big crowds, particularly on weekends.

In the past couple of years Edens has been working to expand its vision by buying more industrial properties in the neighborhood and submitting plans to the city for new shopping and apartments.
