Malcolm Yards

Outdoor seating area with green chairs and umbrellas in front of a brick building with the sign "The Market at Malcolm Yards," and large grain silos labeled "United Crushers" in the background under a clear blue sky.

A brand for a modern community and food hall with historic roots. 

We partnered with Wall Companies to build a brand for its 20+ acre multiuse development, and for The Market at Malcolm Yards a vibrant community food hall. Our work honors the site's rich industrial history while energizing its future as a growing hub.
