Hines has moved from its longtime headquarters in Williams Tower to Texas Tower downtown,...
Wood paneling on the stairwells and at elevators is a nod to the paneling the firm had in its former Williams Tower offices."This is so efficient that it’s a lot more productive. We’re doing more with less, said Lancaster, Hines' senior vice president and global head of marketing and communications."The most significant feature is that because of the way the old offices were built, there’s a 75 percent increase in common spaces, and that’s the secret sauce of the future.
On each floor, furnishings and finishes are beautiful but not overdone. And while they're comfortable and cozy, you won't mistake them for your own living room or dining room, though you may wish you had some of the modern furniture there, too. "Business has shifted and changed. We created a North Star that, ironically, survived the pandemic and became more resonant afterward, when we needed to create space around culture and create flexibility around areas of work," Maillot said.
Every one of the Hines floors has offices and cubicles, but they also have small rooms that people could go to for conversations or more privacy. Public spaces are filled with banquettes sofas and chairs, and are so attractive workers are drawn to them. The 36th floor, dubbed"The Summit," has an homage to Hines and his love of skiing. He and his wife had a vacation home in Aspen and a photo of his favorite ski slope was enlarged and displayed mural size, wrapping around the walls of a training room.
