Seems like a generic pretentious development.

You have to have world-class food first and there's nothing world class about any of the food vendors in the Union Market.

The only cool & unique thing about that whole development is the recently announced Angelika theatre. That italian store a block away from the Union Market is pretty good too.

bought all that land for pennies on the dollar.

First thing that popped up in my head, in exact words and arrangement.

... OK, it was, "Seems like a generic, and pretentious development.", then something about NYC in the 60's.

Food is DC is a lot of show but not a lot of substance. Think lots of small plates containing 2 bland raviolis covered in Parmesan cream foam for $14.

The only thing extraordinary at Union Market is the Amish ice cream. Mediterranean place was totally blah. Soda place sounded cool till you find out that you're small soda is $5 and is made with bottled Harris Teeter seltzer because they're apparently too cheap to install a proper soda fountain... plus their knishes are average. The butchery makes a decent sandwich but they are tiny.
