The Redlands Public Market

The historic Mutual Orange Distributors (MOD) Packinghouse, built in 1912 as a citrus packing house, stood vacant for many years until being purchased by Arteco Partners. Now, this landmark building's rich history has been preserved as a culinary marketplace that celebrates Redlands' agricultural heritage and today's finest hand-crafted cuisines. The Redlands Public Market showcases more than a dozen eateries and food artisans that make residents become regulars and turn visitors into food tourists.

The masonry and steel-framed building has brick walls and arched doorways, skylights, an old service elevator, basement, and other remnants of its days in the citrus-packing industry.

It’s considered a contributor to the Santa Fe Depot District, a National Register District, that includes 17 contributing properties in the downtown core.

The building is near the Redlands Mall, another building expected to soon be revitalized, Santa Fe Depot train station, the downtown core, and the future Redlands Passenger Rail Project.

Interior casual shot with fully crowded main dining area at the Redlands Public Market. Lots of active happy people in small groups sitting under open girder architecture, industrial drop lighting and a panoply of colorful signage and info screens.

A daytime longview of the very clean wooden western deck at RPM, with floor-to-ceiling windows in front of the shops and sophisticated open wire & wood guard-fencing and short wooden pilings underneath by the sidewalk, with small xeriscapic plants visible. Blue sky with clouds.

Public Market, with late-afternoon sun and people sitting at tables under big bright orange umbrellas, on the long wooden decking with wire guardrails and wooden front steps, with the northern section visible which has no umbrellas as yet. Just a bit of the Redlands sign is visible.

Interior view of a crowded main-space at RPM with lots of people sitting and eating, others with their families & kids walking, open industrial ceiling very visible with banks of skylight windows and a cacophony of vendor signage, SAUSAGE being the most visible.

View of the northwest corner of RPM from across the street, many pedestrians walking to and fro, in and out on a bright sunny beautiful day, many sitting at colorful tables & chairs on the long wooden decking in front of tall windows. The new sign can be seen in green as well. Full blue sky above.

Dramatic fish-eye-like closeup view of the southwest corner of RPM, featuring good looks at the stained wood outer construction and row of beautiful orange umbrellas, with white deck chairs & tables here at the end of the long-running exterior deck. Almost has a ski-lodge kind of feel to it, looking up this way.
