Residents of Brunswick and surrounding communities will soon have a new place to dine, shop, live and play. Market 42 (named for its location on Pearl Road/Route 42) is a 9-acre parcel of land that will have multiple uses — a food market, townhomes and green space.
“Three-and-a-half acres of the land will be for the market,” explains developer and Brunswick resident Nick Kyriazis. “Between the market and townhomes, there are about 3.5 acres of wetlands we preserved. It will be a community park with a gazebo and a playground. On the east side of that will be the townhomes, Market Highlands.”
Market Highlands, Kyriazis explains, will be a nine-unit cluster of paired villas — side-by-side upscale townhomes of around 2,500 square feet each.
The highlight of Market 42 is the market itself. Kyriazis and his business partners, Nicole and John Washington, are planning a spacious combination of farmers market and restaurants, focusing on local food. “It’s something that’s missing from Brunswick — the choice of local, farm-raised foods and restaurants,” Kyriazis explains.
The 30-plus vendors in the market will be a mix of prepared foods, butchers, fishmongers, local produce, maple syrups, honey, a wine cellar and several delis.
The south side of Market 42 will be a food hall with a bar, a local brewery and restaurants offering a variety of cuisines. “Outside there will be a patio or terrace, a couple of them, where people will be able to sit and enjoy themselves,” Kyriazis says.
During the cooler months, seasonal vendors will offer Christmas trees and pumpkins. Finally, 8,000 square feet of event space will be available to rent, with catering provided by Market 42’s vendors.
The grand opening of Market 42 is set for March 2024. Kyriazis anticipates that this is just the beginning of exciting developments for Brunswick. “It’s an area that’s close to the big city and it’s away from the big city. People are friendly. Brunswick is developing and getting on the map,” he says. “The market will be a spearhead for future development.”
