History

The company was founded in Houston in 1957 by Gerald D. Hines.[4] Between 1957 and 1967, the firm developed approximately 69 new office or warehouse buildings, along with retail and residential projects. Its first major skyscraper project, One Shell Plaza, opened in 1971. The company also developed the Texas Commerce Tower, now JPMorgan Chase Tower, a 75-story skyscraper that is the tallest building in Texas.[5]

In 1990, Gerald's son Jeffrey became president and the company expanded into global markets.[6] In the 1990s, Hines had developed its own standards for indoor air quality, which influenced rules later established by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[7] In 2006, the company assisted in the development of LEED standards.[8]
