505 CENTRAL FOOD HALL

Albuquerque's urban food hall featuring 9 local vendors. Hot chicken, Mexican street tacos, burgers and fries, Japanese ramen, vegetarian dishes, Detroit-style pizza, sandwiches, local beer, wine, cocktails, and desserts. 

Originally designed by John Gaw Meem in the mid-1930's, the building located at 505 Central Avenue had been previously occupied by Sears in the 1940's. The building was vacant for decades after, until the turn of the 21st century when it was converted to mostly office space.

Phase 1 of this project featured the conversion of the upper floors into various studio and one bedroom apartments. Also in this phase, Humble Downtown was completed on the first floor.

Later, the entire first floor was designed out to create six unique kitchen spaces, two bars and a coffee shop, forming what is now the food hall. The food hall features open seating, an outdoor patio, an upstairs balcony, a modular stage and art throughout.
