Gillett Square (where the market stalls are placed) formed the focus of redevelopment planned to provide new apartments, studios, a cultural centre and cafe. It is bordered by the Dalston Culture House and home of the Vortex Jazz Club, the Bradbury Street Workspace and a number of market stalls (business start-up units). The square is brought to life by new buildings and activities to Dalston. Hackney Co-operative Developments manages ten market stall units along the south side of the square.

The square has been developed by the Gillett Square Partnership, which currently comprises Hackney Co-operative Developments, Groundwork East London, Hackney Council and Design for London. Following Hackney Council's decision that the existing car park could be redeveloped into a new public space, the Gillett Square Partnership was established.
