REGIONAL OFFICES
Hines France Regional Office
Hines France was founded in 1995 and has since completed the
102-room Hotel Ampère Villiers in Paris, the 11,000-square-meter
M6 Headquarters in Neuilly-sur-Seine near Paris, the 65,000-square-meter
EDF Tower and the 27,000-square-meter CB16 Tower in Paris-La
Défense, and the 23,000-square-meter Havas Headquarters
in Suresnes. In all, Hines Frances has completed over 193,300 square meters.
Currently under construction is the 45,000-square-meter Meudon
Campus near Paris. Projects in the design-development phase
are Danton in Paris-La Défense, which includes
27 percent of a 120,000-square-meter development, the Renault
land in Boulogne, and 66-70 Charles de Gaulle.
These projects have positioned Hines France
as one of the leaders in the commercial development sector.
Renault will present Hines France with the opportunity to build
a mixed-use project incorporating hotel, residential and office
in one of the most exclusive residential areas of the Paris
area.
A Current Regional Initiative
Hines, in conjunction with two French development partners,
Sorif and Nexity, was selected by Renault, the large French
automobile manufacturer, to purchase and develop a 45-hectare
site in Paris, strategically located along the banks of the
Seine River, just southwest of the city’s center. The
total master-planned development will span a nine-year period
and offer 653,000 square meters of office, residential, retail
and public facilities. In the early 1900s, the site served as
Renault’s original car manufacturing facility and is one
of the largest development sites in Paris in history, particularly
so close to the heart of the city.

Shortly after joining the firm in 1995, Patrick Albrand
was instrumental in the establishment and supervision
of its French subsidiary. He has been active in the development
of Hines France’s first major projects in the business
district of La Defense: two high-rise buildings designed
by KPF and Pei Cobb Freed, Havas headquarters in Suresnes
and others. Prior to working at Hines, Mr. Albrand was
the director in charge of development at Stim-Bouygues
Real Estate in Paris (1989-1995), where he arranged joint
ventures with outside developers and investors. He was
a senior research associate at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory
in Berkeley, California (1983-1987), where he participated
in the creation of innovative tools and computer programs
for the building industry and the real estate sector,
with the objective of optimizing energy consumption and
building energy management. Prior to that, he was with
the Ministry of Interior of Morocco (1980-1982), where
he directed and managed a local department of public works
that planned, designed and developed 2,500 multi-family
homes, a mosque and a hospital. Mr. Albrand received a
Master in Architecture at Ecole des Beaux-Arts in 1980
and a Master in Real Estate Development from Columbia
