Hines has launched Hines² (Hines Squared).
The platform will focus on enterprise clients and deliver premium workplace environments in Hines buildings, which will be known as The Square. Hines² is launching immediately at 717 Texas, a 33-story class A office tower in Houston; and The Kearns Building, a 10-story, 167,000-square-foot office building in Salt Lake City.
Industrious, the largest premium flexible workspace provider in the U.S., was selected as an operating partner after a lengthy and intensive vetting process across the co-working industry. Industrious will operate both Hines² spaces with future projects across the Hines portfolio already in the pipeline. Hines is also pursuing opportunities with its other preferred partner, Convene, which will operate sites that include full-service meeting and event manage
