Here are some pics of the Street Food Institute project from posts by the Walk Albuquerque account and Albuquerque Community Foundation on Instagram. They were posted at the beginning and end of October. The ACF co-hosted a party and sneak peek of the structure along with Homewise and the Street Food Institute. It was recently announced on the 4th and Barelas Instagram account that the finishing touches are being put on the structures and that they will be opening soon.
Here's an aerial view looking up 4th Street towards Downtown Albuquerque from a real estate agent on Instagram showcasing a nearby new home in Barelas that's listed for sale. You can see the Street Food Institute/4th and Barelas project in the bottom-left corner. The image is a screenshot from the longer video showcase of the property.
Here also are some neat pics of the progress at the Rail Yards that Mattophoto posted laat month before Thanksgiving on his LinkedIn account. I never got a chance to post them when I first saw them back then either. The pics include a few awesome aerial shots as well. I'm always so thankful to see such views of these projects and our city!
I'll include links to the larger versions of the aerial pics directly beneath those embedded images below.
Here are yet more aerial shots of Barelas where the Rail Yards and Street Food Institute are both visible in the background. They are from the actual listing for the new home that's for sale. The new home is part of the small subdivision that the owner of the Barelas Coffee House began developing just before the Great Recession and which is only now being completed by different builders.

In some of those aerial pics above you can also see the Hispanic Cultural Center. In addition to the "Luminito" they also unveiled some new artwork today on their campus celebrating the acequia system in New Mexico.
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The National Hispanic Cultural Center in Albuquerque is looking a little prettier after the reveal of its latest public art project. The planters at the center got an upgrade thanks to the New Mexico Arts in Public Places program.
The new art features an acequia system, an ancient method of watering crops that returns the water to the river system. “This imagery tells the story of how the community comes together and cleans the acequias, in order for water to run through,” said Visual Artist Reyes Padilla.
The Art in Public Places program has placed more than 3,000 pieces of art across the state.
