Michael Jordan’s Iconic Chicago Mansion Sold for $9.5 Million

Real estate executive John Cooper plans to preserve the property’s legacy while introducing new uses for the estate.

John Cooper, a Nebraska native and real estate executive with HAN Capital, purchased Michael Jordan's Highland Park mansion for $9.5 million after it sat on the market for over a decade.
The mansion, originally listed in 2012 for $29 million, features 56,000 square feet of luxury amenities, including a regulation basketball court, infinity pool, putting green, and the iconic '23' gate.
Cooper, a lifelong fan of Jordan, has stated he will honor the property’s legacy and does not plan major renovations, with updates to be announced in January 2025.
The estate has already been used by Cooper to host events, including his birthday party, and is undergoing minor repairs and upgrades to its audio and video systems.
While Cooper does not plan to make the mansion his primary residence, he has hinted at potential future uses for the property, possibly as a commercial or public space.
