The markets are slated to open in the old Myer building in Coorparoo at the end of the month.
"It's absolutely fantastic," said local cafe owner Gillian Hirst.
"This used to be a vibrant precinct, but over the years with Carindale shopping centre opening and the threat of resumption of land for the busway, it's become neglected and run down."
The old Myer site, once home to one of Brisbane's first suburban shopping centres, has stood empty since 2007, when the State Government bought the site for the proposed Eastern Busway.
The markets have been granted a two-year lease.
