Patton Joins Hines to Lead Multifamily

Houston–Alan Patton has joined Hines as a senior vice president in the firm’s corporate office at Williams Tower in Houston. Patton’s main focus will be to expand the firm’s multifamily development activity throughout the United States by working with Hines’ domestic regions on their for-rent residential programs. He will be involved in site sourcing, product design and development, and capital raising and financing.

Hines believes that Patton’s experience will help position the firm to become a successful player in the multifamily sector, which Hines President and CEO Jeff Hines says is “poised for near-term growth.”

Patton was formerly president of The Morgan Group, a Houston-based multifamily developer, builder and property manager involved in Class A infill product in the southwestern and southeastern United States and California. He was responsible for the development and construction of more than 12,000 apartment units at a cost of more than $1.5 billion.

Prior to joining The Morgan Group in 1998, Patton put in an eight-year tenure as managing director of the Chase Bank of Texas Realty Advisory Group. Prior to that, he worked as a project manager, estimator and field superintendent for Miner-Dederick, a Houston-based high-rise office contractor. Patton is on the board of directors of the National Multi Housing Council, and a multifamily council member of the Urban Land Institute.
