HINES ANNOUNCES HCM HOLDINGS LPA $100 MILLION FUND TARGETING MEXICAN MARKET
1/20/2005
(SAN FRANCISCO, CA) – Hines, the international real estate firm, and the California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS), announced today the closing of an agreement that creates a $100 million fund to invest in the Mexican real estate market. The fund, named HCM Holdings LP, will have an eight-year term and a $200 million capacity, including leverage.
While the fund will concentrate on Mexico’s residential and retail markets, it retains discretionary rights to invest in other real estate products.
Fund Manager and Hines Vice President Gary Holtzer said, “Hines is excited to expand its ongoing relationship with CalPERS and capitalize on the state of the Mexican market, which we feel is poised for continued growth.”

Hines entered the Mexican real estate market in 1975. Since then the firm has completed more than three million square feet of office, residential and industrial properties and developed more than 700 acres of land in Mexico. Currently Hines has operations in seven markets throughout the country, including Querétaro, Mexico City, Guadalajara, Acapulco, San Luis Potosí, Toluca, and Michoacán.
