Bishop building - 145 Liberty St Salem, OR 97301 - Future site of Bishop's Grocery and Deli

There has been a new revealing in recent weeks of a much needed grocery development in downtown Salem.  Owner and developer of the Bishop Building located at 145 Liberty St in downtown Salem, Scott McKinney, is planning a summer opening of Bishop’s Grocery and Deli.

As many of the downtown residential developments are at or begin to near completion, this grocery/deli project will fill a gap for those looking to reside in the core of Salem.  Scott McKinney and business partner Roy Carmen are also responsible for several redevelopment of historic buildings in downtown Salem which have created mixed use (residential/commercial) properties for sale or lease.  Other notable residential projects that will benefit from the grocery store will be The Rivers Condos, 295 Church St, and The Meridian.

The continuous growth and development of the downtown area is encouraging.  The community in our beautiful and historic downtown area is thriving with successful restaurants, boutiques, and businesses.  The development of Bishop’s Grocery and Deli will only strengthen the synergy of the residential living in downtown Salem.  I know I’m excited to check it out!

Last week I had the opportunity to view the Rivers Condominium project in downtown Salem on Front Street.  The listing agent, James Hauge, gave me a tour of the development.  The pictures below were taking via my iPhone from inside a few units and atop the roof.

Downtown Salem has several commercial/residential mixed use projects currently under development.  It’s great to see the focus on the core of our beautiful city.

The Rivers offer an untouchable view of the Coastal Range to the West and the Cascade Range to the East.  The project is located across the street from the Water Front Park downtown.  The best part about the central location is the quick two block walk to Venti’s Cafe.
