Harrison Square is a mixed-use downtown revitalization project in Fort Wayne, IN.

Parkview Field

Parkview Field in 2009.

The ballpark at Harrison Square is valued at $30 million dollars with fixed seating of 6,000 and a capacity of 8,000 to 9,000 with the inclusion of non-fixed seats such as berm seating (estimated at 1,000) and bar and table top seating, as well as other non-fixed seating arrangements.

Populous (formerly HOK Sport Venue Event) was selected to design the ballpark, which features a retro design that takes cues from the architecture of familiar Downtown Fort Wayne landmarks. The ballpark is located at the corner of West Brackenridge Street and Ewing Street.

On September 11, 2008, Parkview Health System announced a 10-year naming rights deal that would dub the ballpark Parkview Field and have the sponsor provide health and food services there.

Condos

The Harrison Condominiums at Harrison Square are valued at $14.5 million and will number 60 residential units. There will be four levels of condominiums on top of the retail portion of the project and the condominiums facing south will have a view into the ballpark. There were originally three phases of residential included in the Harrison Square plan. The second and third phases are contracted to be completed after the prior phase has reached capacity.

As of August 2010, construction on the condominiums and retail has been put on hold indefinitely until financing can be secured.

Retail

The retail portion of the project is valued at $6 million and will cover 24,000 square feet (2,200 m2) at the base of the condominiums along Jefferson Boulevard. Retail facing south will also have a view into the ballpark. Currently, two retail establishments have publicly signed agreements: national fitness club Anytime Fitness and Indiana-owned restaurant chain Scotty's Brewhouse.[1]

Hotel

A 250-room Courtyard by Marriott is expected to be completed at the corner of Jefferson Boulevard and Harrison Street by September 1, 2010. A skywalk was erected over Harrison Street in 2010 between the third floor of the hotel and the Embassy Theatre. The hotel will also include a Champions Sports Bar and Restaurant.

Parking garage

A $10 million parking garage, located at the corner of Harrison Street and Douglas Avenue, houses 900 parking spaces, 300 spaces dedicated to the Courtyard by Marriott.

On Thursday, 18 December 2008, construction workers punctured a natural gas line with dirt-moving equipment, causing an isolated fire that burned for over an hour. No injuries and only minimal damage to the parking garage were reported.[2]
