The Willowick was Gerald D. Hines’ first high-rise and first multi-family building. Constructed in 1963 and designed by architectural firm, Neuhaus and Taylor, this mid-century Modern luxury condominium features wrap-around terraces with views of Downtown, The Galleria, Highland Village and River Oaks.
Hines, originally from Gary, Indiana, moved to Houston in the 1940s, because four of his Sigma Chi fraternity brothers from Purdue had relocated to Houston. His first residence in Houston was the YMCA. His first development projects were some warehouses on Richmond Avenue, and then The Willowick luxury high-rise condos, which he struggled to sell. “Hardest 3 percent I ever made,” he said. Originally he designed all of the units in The Willowick to have identical decor. He soon discovered, most people wanted their own unique, customized finishes.
Gerald Hines was “hands on” and for the first year, acted as the General Manager of the Willowick. He held the belief that as an owner of the business “he had greater insight and a stronger desire to manage the building properly.”
Significant projects by Gerald Hines include: 53rd at Third, known as The Lipstick Building, New York; 101 California, San Francisco; One Ninety One Peachtree, Atlanta; Three First National Plaza, Chicago; Five Hundred Boylston, Boston; DZ Bank, Berlin; Porta Nuova, Milan; and EDF Tower, Paris. In addition are Houston landmarks, One Shell Plaza; The Galleria; Pennzoil Place; Bank of America Plaza; JPMorgan Chase Tower and Williams Tower, which was the tallest building (64 stories) outside of a central business district in the entire United States when it was built in 1983.
Hines graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and later received honorary doctorates from both Purdue and the University of Houston. He was a frequent guest lecturer at major universities and an esteemed speaker at industry events. Hines was the 2002 recipient of the Urban Land Institute’s Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development and is an honorary Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. Among his proudest accomplishments were the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture at the University of Houston and the establishment of the Urban Land Institute’s Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition.
