Our Story
Harrison Square Chicago is the story of transformation, innovation, and revitalization in the heart of one of America’s most iconic cities. Once home to the historic Cook County Hospital—an institution that opened its doors in the early 20th century and later stood vacant for decades—this landmark has undergone an extraordinary evolution. Today, it is reimagined as a dynamic mixed-use development, seamlessly blending history with modernity.
A Landmark Reborn
The old Cook County Hospital, with its unique Beaux-Arts architecture and storied past, has been lovingly restored to become the anchor of a transformative project. Our redevelopment pays homage to the building’s historic legacy while introducing a new era that supports hospitality, vibrant retail, contemporary residential options, and state-of-the-art office spaces. Whether it’s a luxurious hotel experience, thoughtfully designed apartments, or dynamic public spaces, Harrison Square Chicago is designed to be a destination that honors its heritage while embracing the future.
Our Vision & Commitment
At Harrison Square Chicago, we believe in the power of urban reinvention. Our mission is to create a community that:
- Celebrates History: By preserving the architectural integrity and historical significance of the old Cook County Hospital, we remind visitors and residents alike of Chicago’s rich legacy.
- Encourages Innovation: We’re committed to building spaces that are not only functional and beautiful but also set new standards in hospitality, living, and working environments.
- Fosters Community: This development has been designed as a mixed-use space that brings together people from all walks of life. From local residents to visitors from around the world, our goal is to deliver an experience that enriches and connects the community.
