Overview

Hines is a global private real estate firm founded in 1957, managing roughly $93 billion across a develop-own-operate platform that few peers can match in geographic and asset-class reach. It reaches retail and exchange investors through non-traded vehicles such as Hines Global Income Trust and its DST offerings. Privately held and family-controlled, Hines brings institutional development and operating depth to the 1031 channel, where its programs represent a small extension of a vast global business.

Key strategies & advantages

  • Operates a global develop-own-operate platform across 30 countries.
  • Reaches retail/exchange investors through Hines Global Income Trust and DST offerings.
  • Manages ~$93 billion with deep institutional development expertise.
  • Privately held and family-controlled, supporting long-term orientation.
  • DST/1031 activity is a small extension of a vast global business.
These describe the sponsor’s approach and potential advantages only, and should be weighed against the risks common to DST investments — illiquidity, loss of principal, and no guaranteed distributions. Full risk factors are in each offering’s Private Placement Memorandum.
