DALLAS-Hines has hired Ran Holman as a vice president of development for its Southwest Region. He will lead the firm’s commercial development efforts in the Metroplex and will focus primarily on the office, industrial and multifamily sectors.

Most recently, Holman was founder/principal of Extant Commercial LLC, a Dallas-based firm that provided sourcing, advisory and underwriting services to institutional and private commercial real estate investors, as well as offering brokerage and construction management services in key Texas markets.

“When the Hines opportunity surfaced, it was intriguing to me because of my respect for Hines and what they’ve accomplished here in Dallas,” Holman says, pointing to well-known Hines projects here including the Galleria and Chase Tower in the Dallas Arts District. “In my view, Hines is one of the world’s premier developers.”
