Hines managing director Drew Huffman is bossing the show in Japan and Korea
Hines has brought aboard local veterans to strengthen its teams in Japan and South Korea, as the US-based developer looks to transition from the investment advisory sphere to a focus on acquisitions and development in the two markets.
Joining the firm are Hyungsub Lee, a director in the Seoul office, and Sho Morita, an associate based in Tokyo. The pair will spearhead a recruitment push aiming to nearly double headcount in the two countries by year-end, where Hines currently has seven staff.
The new hires were announced Tuesday by managing director Drew Huffman, who oversees acquisitions, development and new business generation in Japan and South Korea for Hines after relocating from the Hong Kong office to Tokyo last February.
