Hines Global Income Trust Acquires Wells Fargo Center Near Portland, Oregon

(HILLS­BORO, OR.) – Hines, the glob­al real estate firm, today announced that Hines Glob­al Income Trust (“HGIT”) has acquired Wells Far­go Cen­ter, a 212,000-square-foot sin­gle ten­ant asset in Hills­boro, Ore­gon, just 20 min­utes from down­town Portland.

The asset is ful­ly leased to a long-term ten­ant, a finan­cial ser­vices com­pa­ny, and is sit­u­at­ed on 19 acres in the heart of Oregon’s ​“Sil­i­con For­est,” which denotes the clus­ter of high-tech com­pa­nies in the greater Port­land area. Equidis­tant to the Intel cam­pus and Nike’s world head­quar­ters, the loca­tion­at­tracts both tech and life-sci­ence ten­ants. The site is also imme­di­ate­ly adja­cent to Ore­gon Health and Sci­ence Uni­ver­si­ty (OHSU) life sci­ence cam­pus, which has the largest life sci­ence foot­print in the state.

The asset is tran­sit-ori­ent­ed and pro­vides easy access to NE Walk­er Road, near the inter­sec­tion of NW 185^th that con­nects to High­way 26 for direct access to down­town Port­land. It is walk­ing dis­tance to MAX Ligh­trail Red Line, which pro­vides easy com­mut­ing options for the center’s employees.

“Wells Far­go Cen­ter sits in one of Portland’s most desir­able and robust sub­mar­kets,” said Char­lie Kuntz, man­ag­ing direc­tor at Hines. ​“Beyond its con­ve­nient access, the site ben­e­fits from prox­im­i­ty to restau­rants and pop­u­lar retail­ers such as Tar­get, Trad­er Joe’s, and REI.”

“The acqui­si­tion expands our port­fo­lio by estab­lish­ing a pres­ence in the Port­land area,” com­ment­ed Omar Thowfeek, HGIT’s man­ag­ing direc­tor of invest­ments. ​“As the ​‘Sil­i­con For­est’ mar­ket matures, we believe the asset will be well-posi­tioned for con­tin­ued growth and demand.”

HGIT is diver­si­fied by geog­ra­phy and real estate sec­tors, with a focus on sta­ble assets with strong longterm income poten­tial. This acqui­si­tion joins a port­fo­lio that is near­ly two thirds weight­ed toward the indus­tri­al and liv­ing sec­tors and is val­ued at $2.9 billion.
