Breaking ground Summer 2026 · Opening 2027

The citizens of Salisbury and the City Council keep asking for affordable housing. The Mayor keeps blocking it.

Green Street Housing is building it anyway!

SBY Market is a $25 million investment at the top of the Downtown Plaza — 50 apartments for working families above a 10,000 sq ft public food hall. Built by your neighbors at Green Street Housing.

The Situation

Salisbury has a housing problem, and a leadership problem.

Wages in Wicomico County haven't kept up with rent. Families who work downtown can't afford to live downtown. The City Council has asked for affordable housing for years. Community members have shown up meeting after meeting.

The Mayor has blocked permits, withheld approvals, and manufactured delays on a project the Council already supports. Meanwhile Green Street Housing — a Salisbury company — has lined up $25 million in private capital and a significant commitment from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development.

We're not waiting for permission to help our neighbors.

Honoring the Block

A century of local entrepreneurship on this corner — and a future that builds on it.

For more than a hundred years, this block has been home to locally-owned businesses — a remarkable stretch of African-American entrepreneurship that helped shape downtown Salisbury. SBY Market carries that legacy forward: the food hall will prioritize women-, minority-, and startup-owned food ventures, giving new local owners a shot at a main-street storefront they might not otherwise get.

We're grateful to be stewarding this ground — and we're listening.

10,000 square feet for up to ten local food vendors.

A community economic-development tool, not just a food court. We’re prioritizing women-, minority-, and startup-owned food ventures — and honoring a century of local and African-American entrepreneurship on this block. Good food, local owners, open to the water.

  • ◆Up to 10 vendor stalls
  • ◆Preference for women, minority + startup owners
  • ◆Open to the public + the Riverwalk
  • ◆Honoring the block’s entrepreneurial history

At the head of downtown — the first building visitors see.

On Main Street at the Wicomico, this is the gateway lot for anyone arriving downtown from US Route 50. The Riverwalk will be extended in front of the building. The city dog park is across the street. Third Fridays, the zoo, the port — all a short walk away.
