The retail portion of the mixed-use development, Harrison Square, consists of 24,000 square feet positioned on heavily traveled West Jefferson Boulevard with courtyard access and visibility into the new Fort Wayne Wizards baseball park.
This new construction project is located next to the Grand Wayne Convention Center, Allen County Public Library, Embassy Theatre and other downtown attractions that bring in over 2 million visitors to the Harrison Square area. Additionally, the retail portion is located on the first floor of a mixed-use building to include three total floors of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums.
Additional features of the downtown mixed-use development are a new downtown ball park for the Wizards, a two-acre public park that will include a small amphitheatre for outdoor concerts and a water park, and a 900 space parking garage complete with a 7,000 square foot conference center overlooking the right field wall. Above the conference center, there will be a party deck with approximately 500 stadium seats reminiscent of the Wrigley rooftops in Chicago.
