Global Entry Interviews Showcase Commitment to Client Experience

As commercial real estate continues to evolve, at least one thing remains unchanged: experience will be a major differentiator between properties that lease and properties that don't.

When we consider "experience," we consider how our services and amenities support the people who use our properties. At Hines, we focus on services that help save our clients time and money, offset the commute, and make the office more productive, not just for work, but for life.

Our Property Experience Program and Hines Hospitality Standards elevate the ordinary into the extraordinary by curating experiences and programs that differentiate us from run-of-the-mill property managers that apply a cut-and-paste approach to each asset. A big differentiator for our investors and clients is that Hines teams focus on more than just rooftop yoga, charcuterie and 'Instagrammable moments".

One of our most popular offerings is Global Entry interviews, hosted at premier Hines properties in four major U.S. cities.

Global Entry Interviews

Global Entry is a U.S. Customs and Border Protection program that allows expedited clearance for pre-approved, low-risk travelers upon arrival in the United States. Members enter the country by accessing the Global Entry processing technology at selected airports, eliminating long lines and/or working on tedious paperwork.

Here's the catch: normally, this process would require an applicant to go to an airport or government building. Travelers must be pre-approved for the Global Entry program, and all applicants undergo a rigorous background check and in-person interview before enrollment. Depending on how far away the enrollment location is, traffic and weather conditions, and other considerations, it’s likely this process will take several hours.

Commitment to Client Experience

Through our program, we host these interviews at our offices; eliminating the need to travel and saving our clients time, money, and stress. With our Global Entry Interview program, we're putting convenience at the forefront, giving precious time back to people at our properties with no cost or risk to them.

For our investor and owner partners, this also reaffirms the value of the office, especially in the current market moment, as a place to bolster connection and engagement while providing benefits people want and need. It's not just somewhere you go and sit for eight hours; it's a place that enriches your life.

We're excited to continue to offer Global Entry interviews and look forward to expanding to other cities in the future.
