Rochester’s North Clinton Avenue neighborhood marked a milestone Thursday as local leaders cut the ribbon on the new International Plaza at La Marketa.

City of Rochester, New York provides a model for community engagement with the International Plaza at Lam Marketa.

Merchandising giant New Era drafted Ikoniq to deliver branded retail container units to all on-site outlets, covering venues for MLB, NHL, and the NFL.

When the City of Rochester wanted to deliver the International Plaza at La Marketa, an urban renewal project decades in the making, they decided to utilize shipping containers for the retail and restaurant components. Ikoniq was awarded the RFP and has delivered three retail units and two restaurant facilities that will offer local vendors an opportunity to showcase their skills.

Proposed for a new public-private partnership, the container park at Currie Park comes to life. Part entertainment venue, part local vendor market, part gourmet marketplace, the modern container park is more of an open-air mixed use center than food hall.

Determining the best approach for the proposed Indianapolis mixed use development, shipping containers come up on top.
