HINES REIT'S CHASE TOWER IN DALLAS

AWARDED LEED GOLD CERTIFICATION

(DALLAS) - The Dallas office of Hines, the international real estate firm, announced today that Chase Tower has received Gold certification under the U.S. Green Building Council's LEED® rating system for Existing Buildings.

Hines undertook numerous sustainability measures, including: installation of low-flow fixtures and whole-building water metering; building commissioning; changing to lamps with low mercury content; implementation of comprehensive recycling and green cleaning programs; and roll out of Hines' GREEN OFFICE for Tenants program, designed to reduce environmental impacts in tenant spaces.

Chase Tower is also recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency with an ENERGY STAR® label. With a current rating of 82, Chase Tower is 29 percent more energy efficient and saves $1.15 million in energy costs per year when compared to the national average office building. This translates to estimated annual greenhouse gas reductions equivalent to removing 1,500 passenger vehicles from the road.

Acquired by Hines REIT in 2007, Chase Tower is a 55-story, 1.2 million-square-foot office tower located in midtown Dallas. Referred to as "The Keyhole Building" for its seven-story open-air feature near the building's curved glass crown, Chase Tower was designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill and was completed in 1997.

Hines REIT President and CEO Charles Hazen said, "Chase Tower is the only high-rise commercial office building in the downtown/arts district of Dallas to have met the LEED Gold standard, indicating that it continues to offer the highest level of quality and services to its tenants."

The property is leased to tenants including: Deloitte LLP; Fulbright & Jaworski; JPMorgan Chase; and Locke Lord Bissell & Liddell LLP. Hines oversees management and leasing for the building.

Hines REIT commenced operations in November 2004 and primarily invests in institutional-quality office properties located in the United States.
