Hines-Rialto office credit partnership closes with $1.1B. Hines and Rialto Capital have closed their U.S. office credit partnership with $1.1 billion in investor commitments. Hines Rialto Credit Partners held its final close Sept. 2, the firms announced. The co-general partnership, launched in 2024, previously raised approximately $700 million at its initial close. The strategy combines Hines' property-level knowledge and operating experience with Rialto's loan origination, underwriting, asset management and special-servicing capabilities. Hines has operated for nearly seven decades, while Rialto invests across real estate properties, loans and securities. "Yield alone does not tell you the quality of the risk," said Alfonso Munk, global co-head of investment management at Hines. Understanding an asset's value, performance and ability to withstand pressure is increasingly important as the market works through refinancing challenges, he added. HRCP's recent activity includes a $228.9 million bridge loan refinancing the Textile Building at 295 Fifth Ave. in Manhattan. The partnership has also provided a $91 million financing package for One American Plaza in San Diego and $58 million to refinance an office campus in Short Hills, New Jersey. "This close reflects the strength of bringing together two highly complementary platforms, and the potential opportunity we see in U.S. office credit," Rialto CEO Jeff Krasnoff said.

The partnership has also provided financing across the US, including a $91 million package for One American Plaza in San Diego and $58 million debt for refinancing an office campus in Short Hills, New Jersey.
Former Hines executive Journo joins Yugo as European CEO. The Dot Group has strengthened its senior leadership team with the appointment of Ronen Journo as European chief executive of its global student living brand and operator Yugo. Bringing over 30 years of international real estate experience, Journo will develop and execute the firm's European and UK strategy in a bid to drive community performance and operational growth. He will aim to translate Yugo's global ambitions into locally relevant strategies, deepening relationships with universities, clients, asset owners and investment partners. Previously, he held senior leadership roles at WeWork and Cisco and was global head of management services and operations at Hines, spearheading its $91bn (£67.14bn) AUM portfolio and building its pan-European management platform, spanning subsectors including offices, retail, logistics, build to rent and student accommodation. He currently serves as a non-executive member for the Government Property Agency, a board adviser for the University of Westminster Business School and a member of University College London's estates committee. Nick Porter, chief executive of The Dot Group, said: "Ronen is an exceptional leader with deep international experience across real estate investment management and operations. He brings a strong track record of building high-performing teams, understands the importance of a strong global brand and delivering growth across multiple cultures and markets. "His global network and understanding of clients will be instrumental as we continue to deepen partnerships and build momentum across the region." Journo added: "Operations is where business value and human experience are created, and I've always believed the two belong together. Yugo's brand strength is this combination: long-standing partnerships, real operational heritage and teams who understand what students need day to day. "That's what enables our communities to help students live their best lives, not just find a place to stay. I'm grateful to Nick and The Dot Group for the trust placed in me to lead the next chapter of Yugo's European growth story, to strengthen our partnerships and keep improving that student experience."
Crawford Bay developer decision expected by end of year as Portsmouth eyes construction start by 2029. Portsmouth is choosing between three developers to transform the six-acre Crawford Bay waterfront site into a vibrant waterfront space, with construction potentially starting in two to three years. Posted 3:36 PM, Sep 09, 2026 PORTSMOUTH, Va. - Portsmouth is narrowing down its options for transforming the Crawford Bay waterfront site into what city officials hope will become a second downtown. Economic Development Director Brian Donohue said three developers are competing for the project: Cape Fear Development, Gold Key PHR and Hines. "New housing, ground floor commercial retail, so shopping, dining, entertainment uses, but also potential for a new hotel and of course public amenities," Donohue said. Donohue said Norfolk's Waterside, located directly across the water, serves as one example of the vibrancy the city wants to bring to Crawford Bay. Before any of that can happen, the city must decide which proposal best fits its vision. "That will be a detailed process and will be somewhat time consuming," Donohue said. According to Economic Development's published timeline, developer selection should happen in November, with a presentation to City Council happening in December. That decision will also give the city a better idea of what the project could cost. "We think that if we're successful in identifying a development partner that we could be under construction here in the next 2 to 3 years and this site will begin transforming, and it'll be quite a difference from where we are today," Donohue said. The six-acre site has more than 500 feet of Elizabeth River frontage and remains largely undeveloped, though residents continue to use it for walking, biking and enjoying the water. Barry Holderfield, a Portsmouth neighbor who has lived in the area for 50 years, rides his bike to Crawford Bay about 5 times a week. He said he would like to see more gathering spaces at the site. "I love being around the water, you know, and watching the boats go by and so forth," Holderfield said. He also shared his vision for what could be built there. "I'd like to see maybe a nice seafood restaurant. I know you got the fish and chips down here into the pier, but maybe a nice outside dining restaurant... I think that would be a pretty good idea for some revenue coming in from Portsmouth," Holderfield said.

Hines expands UK retail park portfolio with trio of acquisitions. Hines has expanded its UK retail park portfolio with the acquisition of three fully leased assets totaling 438,000 sq ft across Greater London, Manchester and Edinburgh. The assets were acquired on behalf of the Hines European Core Fund (HECF), led by fund manager Simone Pozzato. The acquisitions come as UK retail parks benefit from a scarcity advantage, with new development at historic lows and resilient occupier demand having supported some of the strongest rental growth of any retail format over the past five years. "We see UK retail parks as an increasingly compelling part of a diversified core portfolio," said Alfonso Munk, global co-head of investment management at Hines. "Limited new supply, strong retailer demand, and attractive income characteristics create a combination that has been difficult to replicate elsewhere in the retail market. These acquisitions allow us to build meaningful exposure in three of the UK's strongest metropolitan markets." HECF has acquired Nugent Shopping Park, a 139,000 sq ft retail park in Orpington, anchored by a full-line Marks & Spencer store; Altrincham Retail Park, a 228,000 sq ft retail park in North West England; and Straiton Retail Park in Edinburgh, a 71,000 sq ft retail park within one of Scotland's leading retail destinations. "These acquisitions demonstrate the strength of our local sourcing capabilities and our focus on creating value through active management," said Ross Blair, head of western Europe at Hines. "Success comes down to picking the right assets and executing well. We believe these retail parks combine strong fundamentals with clear opportunities to create value over time." Hines will oversee asset management across the portfolio through its UK platform.
