The Hines Villa, the former estate of one of the world’s most iconic real estate developers, the late Gerald D. Hines, is up for grabs.
Listed for $34,500,000, the sprawling villa features Italian influences reminiscent of the mogul’s holidays in Tuscany. Hines passed away last August at the age of 95. He enlisted world-renowned, New York-based Robert A.M. Stern Architects to design the 17,000 square foot estate, which was completed in 1992, according to a release.
The pricey property is represented by Cathy Cagle and Patricia Reed of Douglas Elliman. For more information, visit har.com.
Widely regarded as a visionary in the commercial real estate industry, Gerald Hines founded his namesake firm in Houston in 1957. He grew his business from a one-man operation into an enormous international real estate company.
The real estate firm is responsible for several of the city’s most recognizable buildings, including the Pennzoil Place, Williams Tower ( first names the Transco Tower), the Galleria, 910 Louisiana (formerly One Shell Plaza) and the 75-story Texas Commerce Tower (now JPMorgan Chase Tower).
