From their website: "Swan’s Market was acquired by the East Bay Asian Local Development Corporation (EBALDC) in 1998 and the initial historic restoration was completed in 2000. The original Swan’s Marketplace opened in 1917 and served as downtown Oakland’s premier market until its closure in 1983. The site then stood vacant until EBALDC’s award-winning redevelopment provided affordable rental housing and market rate “cohousing” condominiums with a variety of businesses. EBALDC’s goal for the renovation was to convert a blighted block into a community gathering place that included residents of both low-income and market-rate housing, small businesses and non-profits to establish a blend of artistic, cultural and culinary traditions to serve Oakland’s diverse Downtown. Today, Swan’s Market is a popular destination in Oakland and is home to some of the City’s most popular restaurants." (
