REGIONAL OFFICES
Hines West Regional Office
The Hines West Regional Office has been active for over 20
years in major west coast markets including Los Angeles, San
Francisco, San Diego and Seattle. In that time, the firm has
developed or revitalized over 60 projects in 30 cities. These
projects share a commitment to creating exceptional real estate
that responds to the objectives of our tenants, clients and
investors. Over the past three years, Hines West has responded
to this demand by developing and acquiring real estate assets
totaling more than 18 million
square feet.
A Current Regional Initiative
2211 Michelson is a 12-story, 266,000-square-foot office tower in Irvine, California. The project is strategically located in the heart of the Irvine Business Complex, only two blocks east of John Wayne Airport and conveniently located near the MacArthur Boulevard and Jamboree Road exits off the I-405 Freeway.
The building will feature extensive decorative building-top night lighting. From the interior, an efficient, rectangular floorplate features optimal lease bay depths, column-free lease space, eight corner offices, and five-foot mullion spacing, offering unencumbered views to the Newport coast, mountains and the John Wayne Airport.
