Faring will incorporate French Market Place into WeHo development

An iconic spot once dubbed “the gayest place on earth” is here to stay.

Developer Faring will now incorporate — not demolish — the shuttered French Market Place at 7985 Santa Monica Boulevard into its new project.

Faring is now planning a ground-floor restaurant with outdoor seating, a coffee shop and creative offices for the West Hollywood site, anchored by the original 1936 French Market grocery structure.
