Harper Court is a mixed-use commercial development in the Hyde Park community area on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois. It contains a Hyatt Hotel and a 12-story office tower that is leased and occupied by the University of Chicago. Although the hotel opened on September 17, 2013, the commercial structure, which also has extensive retail and parking space, officially opened on November 8, 2013. The University of Chicago exercised its option to purchase most of the development on November 13 and then put most of what it acquired up for sale in March 2014. The University provided much of the financing and retains a master lease over the retail tenants. The development was acquired by CLAL Insurance Company in July 2014.
