Hines opens office in New Zealand

Hines has opened an office in New Zealand as part of its strategic Asia Pacific expansion.

The new office in Auckland marks the firm’s 11th office location and seventh country since establishing its presence in Asia Pacific in 1996. It also represents the firm’s 30th operating country worldwide.

"We see compelling opportunities in New Zealand, especially in the build-to-rent, value-add office and logistics/industrial sectors, and its marketplace is a natural extension to what our teams are already doing in Australia,” said Ray Lawler, CEO – Asia Pacific with Hines. "At our core, Hines places a high value on sustainability, innovation and service, and these principles are critical to unlocking the full potential of New Zealand’s commercial real estate market."

Representing Hines in New Zealand is James Molloy, who joined the firm in February 2023. Based in Auckland, he will manage the office and source new acquisitions, investment and development opport
