Her responsibilities include firm strategy and risk, as well as expanding institutional and private-wealth investment vehicles. Hines leadership biography · Laura Hines-Pierce biography

Their leadership combines an established development and operating organization with a broader investment-management platform. Hines reports global activity across investment, development and property management, while Laura’s profile highlights institutional and private-wealth capital as strategic growth areas. She previously managed the delivery of River Point, a 1.1-million-square-foot Chicago office tower with a public park, providing a specific link between senior leadership and project execution. The firm’s current leadership model is shared; current titles should be checked against Hines’ own directory as they may change. Laura Hines-Pierce biography · Hines facts and figures
