HOUSTON, TX — Hines, the
international real estate company, announced today a new partnership with
Paris-based Workwell to introduce a market-leading digital experience in
its buildings.
Mobile applications help us navigate nearly every part of
modern life, and those services shouldn’t stop once you arrive at the
office. Hines will connect the dots between the physical and digital
through this tenant engagement technology.
Hines is kicking off the
partnership in major cities around the U.S. and internationally, including in
Houston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta and the United Kingdom. The firm will be
adding multiple locations in 2019.

Workwell is a mobile
application that connects the spaces, services and people inside buildings. Its
purpose is to enrich and facilitate the daily lives of occupiers, and help them
connect with each other through an array of features.
These features in turn help simplify operations, streamline
communications and enhance the customer experience. In an increasingly
connected world, Workwell offers to opportunity to aggregate multiple services
and apps under a single screen.
Workwell is built as an open
platform that offers core functionality and yet enables buildings to
easily integrate their existing systems. This means buildings can bring
operations, communications, and social features together on a single
screen.
Tenants themselves can add their own systems and services as
well, making it the one-stop-shop for everything related to the
workplace. Workwell will also help Hines gather more data regarding its
buildings, while fully respecting the privacy of its users.

Hines Senior Vice President,
Operations Management, Lisa Newton added, “The occupiers of our
leased spaces have been asking for ‘bed to desk’ control of their work
environments and lives, demanding an increased set of convenience services that
bring a sense of calm to ever busier work and personal lives.
"In addition to our already existing client-focused
perspective and Hines expertise, we have been seeking a differentiating
product-tool to accomplish this, and we believe we have found that in
Workwell.”
Workwell has partnered in the
past with leading European firm Unibail-Rodamco-Westfeld and this partnership
will be Workwell’s entry into the U.S. real estate market.
“We are thrilled to partner
with Hines in their mission to provide a digital experience that will improve
the quality of life for the occupiers of their buildings,” said Marie
Schneegans, Workwell CEO & Founder.
Workwell Technologies’ mission
is to help people be happier and more connected at work. By partnering with
leading real estate companies and working directly with some of the world’s
largest corporations, Workwell improves the way employees experience their life
in the office.
With offices in New York, Paris and Sydney, Workwell’s team
is composed mostly of engineers who are highly focused on building the most
advanced digital layer for buildings.
