Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company evaluates its assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Additionally, application of the Company’s accounting policies involves exercising judgments regarding assumptions as to future uncertainties. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Hines Global and the Operating Partnership (over which the Company exercises financial and operating control). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities
Investments in Real Estate-Related Securities
The Company holds investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value. These assets are valued on a recurring basis.
Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and Other Receivables

Tenant and other receivables consists primarily of base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to straight-line rent, and are carried at cost. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had receivables related to base rents and tenant reimbursements of $15.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had other receivables balances of $10.4 million and $9.9 million, respectively.

Straight-line rent receivables were $82.1 million and $69.5 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Straight-line rent receivable consists of the difference between the tenants’ rents calculated on a straight-line basis from the date of acquisition or lease commencement over the remaining terms of the related leases and the tenants’ actual rents due under the lease agreements and is included in tenant and other receivables in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Individual leases are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents is not probable, accrued rent and accounts receivable are reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, we assess whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. The uncollectible portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues.
Lessee Accounting
Lessee Accounting

The Company has ground lease agreements in which it is the lessee for land at certain of its investment properties. As of June 30, 2026, three of such agreements were accounted for as operating leases and one such agreement was accounted for as a financing lease. As of June 30, 2026, the weighted average remaining lease term of the Company’s operating leases and financing leases was 119 years and 116 years, respectively.
The Company’s estimate of the amount of the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities recorded in the Company’s condensed balance sheets included assumptions for the discount rate, which is based on the incremental borrowing rate of the lease contract. The incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a term similar to the lease. Since the terms of the ground leases are much longer than those of a typical borrowing, the Company derived the incremental borrowing rate at the inception of each lease as the spread in a current financing quote for the property. If a current financing quote was not available, the Company referenced the borrowing rate on its revolving credit facility, plus the applicable base rate corresponding to the longest term available in the base rate market. The Company has assumed weighted average incremental borrowing rates of 6.1% for its operating leases and 3.4% for its financing lease.
New Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires public entities to provide additional disclosures in the notes to the financial statements of certain expense categories which are included in expense line items disclosed on the face of the income statement. Specifically, an entity should provide disclosures in a tabular format for each line item on the income statement which contains any of the following expenses: purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and/or depreciation, depletion, and amortization. ASU 2024-03 also requires an entity to disclose total selling expenses. ASU 2024-03 may be adopted on a prospective or retrospective basis. The standard will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements, which clarifies and expands certain aspects of hedge accounting, primarily related to the eligibility and application of cash flow hedge accounting, to better align financial reporting with an entity’s risk management activities. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.
In December 2025,the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements which clarifies and consolidates the guidance related to the scope, form and content, and disclosure requirements for interim financial reporting. The amendments are effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and footnotes.
Derivative Instruments
The Company has entered into several interest rate swap or cap contracts in connection with certain of its secured mortgage loans and its Revolving Credit Facility in order to limit its exposure against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings.  These contracts effectively fix or cap the interest rates on each of the loans to which they relate.  The Company has not designated any of these derivatives as hedges for accounting purposes. The Company has not entered into a master netting arrangement with its third-party counterparty and does not offset on its condensed consolidated balance sheets the fair value amount recorded for its derivative instruments.
The Company has also entered into foreign currency forward contracts as economic hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates related to certain cash flows of some of its international investments. These forward contracts fixed the currency exchange rates on each of the investments to which they related. The Company did not designate any of these contracts as fair value or cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
Fair Value Measurements
Fair values determined by Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities the Company has the ability to access. Fair values determined by Level 2 inputs utilize inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs other than quoted prices observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates and yield curves observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In instances in which the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety has been determined is based on the lowest level input significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Financial Instruments Measured on a Recurring Basis

As described in Note 6—Derivative Instruments, the Company entered into several interest rate contracts as hedges against the variability of future interest rates on its variable interest rate borrowings. The valuation of these derivative instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

Although the Company has determined the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. In adjusting the fair values of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds and guarantees. However, as of June 30,
2026 and 2025, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuations of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined its derivative valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Additionally, as described in Note 6—Derivative Instruments, the Company has entered into foreign currency forward contracts as hedges against the variability of foreign exchange rates. The valuation of these forward contracts is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including currency exchange rate curves and implied volatility. The Company has determined its foreign currency forward contracts valuations are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as they are based on observable inputs but are not traded in active markets.
The Company holds investments in real estate-related securities, which consist of common equities, preferred equities and debt investments of publicly traded REITs. The Company has elected to classify these investments as trading securities and carry such investments at fair value.
Reportable Segments The Company’s business consists of owning, operating, acquiring, developing, investing in, and disposing of real estate assets and all of the Company’s consolidated revenues and property expenses are from these real estate properties.
Management evaluates the operating performance of each of its real estate properties at an individual investment level and considers each investment to be an operating segment. The Company has aggregated its operating segments into five reportable segments: office investments, industrial investments, residential/living investments, retail investments, and other investments. The Company considers the operating activities and economic characteristics of the properties to determine how to aggregate its reportable segments. The Company believes that revenues in excess of property operating expenses is the key performance metric that captures the unique operating characteristics of each segment to enable its chief operating decision maker to assess performance and allocate resources. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is a group consisting of its Chief Investment Officer and Chief Operating Officer.
