Hines is one of the world's largest and most respected privately held real estate firms, founded in 1957 by Gerald D. Hines and headquartered in Houston, Texas. The firm is globally active across 30 countries with a presence in approximately 390 cities and more than $93 billion in assets under management. Hines has a long history as both a developer and investor in high-quality real estate, having developed more than 1,700 projects totaling over 580 million square feet of commercial space since its founding. The firm operates one of the most vertically integrated real estate platforms in the world, combining development, investment management, property management, and sustainability capabilities under a single organizational umbrella.
Hines's investment management platform serves institutional and individual investors across a comprehensive range of real estate strategies, including core, core-plus, value-add, opportunistic, and real estate credit. The firm's product suite spans private institutional funds, separately managed accounts, and registered vehicles accessible to individual investors through Hines Securities, its broker-dealer and distribution affiliate. Hines invests across all major property types — office, residential, industrial, retail, life sciences, data centers, and mixed-use developments — with a particular emphasis on assets located in gateway and high-growth markets globally.
Hines has built an exceptional reputation over nearly seven decades as a disciplined, forward-thinking developer and investor that consistently creates high-quality, well-located real estate assets. The firm's development heritage provides unique advantages in understanding property fundamentals, construction quality, and long-term asset performance that few pure investment managers can replicate. Hines's commitment to sustainability, design excellence, and tenant-focused property management has made it a preferred real estate partner for global corporations, institutional investors, and individual investors seeking exposure to best-in-class commercial real estate across the world's most dynamic markets.
