Explore Albuquerque’s newest destination for the savvy traveler just outside our doors. Originally the site of the American Lumber Company north of historic Old Town, the Sawmill District is being re-imagined and redeveloped into a vibrant neighborhood of loft-style housing, artist studios and retail space. Its new shops, art and entertainment reflect New Mexico’s rich culture and emerging International trends.
The Sawmill Market legendary consultant Steve Carlin, a pioneer in food market developments, including the Ferry Building Marketplace in San Francisco and the Oxbow Public Market in the Napa Valley, consulted Albuquerque's first food hall.
The Sawmill Market brings to the District a 25,000 square-foot food hall with numerous local food vendors showcasing a multitude of culinary traditions. It not only features restaurants and bars but also offers entertainment venues, art galleries, and more.
Discover the burgeoning Sawmill District and Historic Old Town through unique, immersive and enchanting walking tours Friday and Saturday afternoons. The two-hour Mezcla de Cultura Tours depart from Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town and end at Hotel Chaco.
