Summary
Hines Private Wealth Solutions LLC announced on June 10, 2026, that it has completed more than $1.1 billion across eight Delaware Statutory Trust offerings since launching the Hines Real Estate Exchange (HREX) platform in 2022. This milestone marks significant progress in the firm's private wealth solutions business and reflects sustained demand from qualified investors seeking institutional-quality real estate combined with tax-deferred exchange structures and diversification benefits.
The most recent offering, HREX 8 DST, closed at $145 million and acquired Montrose Collective, a 189,000-square-foot mixed-use property located in Houston's Montrose district. The asset features a diversified tenant roster spanning retail and restaurant operators, including a Fortune 500 company tenant. The Houston submarket itself exhibits strong structural characteristics, including approximately 35% population growth over the past decade and supply constraints that support pricing power and occupancy stability. According to Alfonso Munk, Global Co-Head of Investment Management at Hines, the milestone underscores "strong demand from private investors for institutional-quality real estate solutions that combine income, diversification, and tax efficiency."
The Montrose Collective asset was sourced from Hines Global Income Trust, Inc. (HGIT), which maintains a diversified portfolio with gross asset value of approximately $6.32 billion across 176 buildings. The trust employs conservative leverage at 31% with 94% of debt structured at fixed rates, reducing refinancing and interest rate risk. This capital structure and portfolio diversification align with the income-focused investment mandate of the platform, which has been in operation since its 2014 inception.
The HREX platform's trajectory—raising $1.1 billion across eight offerings in four years—demonstrates institutional investor preference for DST structures as an alternative vehicle for 1031 exchange-eligible capital seeking real estate exposure with professional management, geographic and asset-type diversification, and integrated tax planning capabilities. The structure supports broader wealth and estate planning strategies while providing access to institutional-caliber assets typically reserved for larger institutional allocators.
