Harper Court is a mixed-use project—including office, retail, hotel, and parking uses—located on a 3.18-acre site in the Hyde Park neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago near the University of Chicago campus. The project was initiated by the city of Chicago and the university, with the objective of revitalizing a strategic commercial location important to the university campus and near transit. The project has been integrated into the existing street fabric and includes a new internal street. A second phase is planned to include up to 400,000 square feet of residential, hotel, and/or office space.
