DALLAS-Hillwood Properties' president Michael Berry and the Caroline Rose Hunt Family, which built, owns and operates Rosewood Hotel & Resort, are the latest inductees into the North Texas Commercial Real Estate Hall of Fame. Both will be honored at the NTCRE dinner and 25^th reunion, which will take place on May 2 at the Brook Hollow Golf Club.

The Rosewood collection, which now encompasses 22 iconic hotels and resorts in seven countries, was sold in 2011.

As president of Hillwood Properties, Michael Berry leads all management, operations and transactions and serves as the company's representative among public sector entities for AllianceTexas, a 17,000-acre master-planned development in north Fort Worth. Stemming from the strong commercial base of AllianceTexas are corporate campuses, office complexes, tech and data centers, destination retail and entertainment venues, residential housing, schools, churches and community shopping.
