The Demise of U.S. Office Space is the Worst in History
By Hughes Marino on November 6, 2024
As early as the summer of 2020, Hughes Marino shouted from the rooftops that a commercial office correction was in the works that would be worse than any downturn since the early 1990s commercial real estate crash. Meanwhile, the full-service brokerage firms who represent landlords—and purport to represent tenants—were promoting a rush back to the office that would create the Roaring ‘20s of office leasing with “Covid discounts” that would be short lived, and companies needing MORE office space for social distancing of employees that would ultimately all return. While we knew that these predictions were laughable, they are rooted in brokerage firms’ core business of doing the landlords’ bidding, and doing everything to hold the line on the strong pre-Covid office markets in attempt to price-support building owners and investors on the way down. But the facts are now clear to all, and down it goes…

Testimonials
We believe if you represent both plaintiffs and defendants there’s an automatic conflict, whether it be real or perceived. So it only made sense to choose Hughes Marino, a company that represents tenants only, to handle our lease negotiations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York. With over 150 lawyers and 275 support staff, we have very specific space and technology requirements and Hughes Marino has the expertise to manage our leasehold improvements. We’ve certainly benefited from their tenant-only focus and full range of services. They are tireless in their efforts.
Former managing partner of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins (now Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd) Robbins Gellar
We have a long-term relationship with the Hughes Marino team that goes back 17 years. They’ve handled many projects for us, including our corporate headquarters in Carmel Valley, our San Diego Service Center in Kearny Mesa, and numerous branch locations throughout the county, including our main downtown office. They’re very professional, and they have good, solid market information. You’re not concerned that they’re also representing one of the landlords you are negotiating with because they only do tenant representation, which for us is important.
Senior Vice President and Manager of the Corporate Real Estate Facilities Department California Bank & Trust
I have worked with the Hughes Marino team for over ten years, their knowledge of the San Diego office space market is extraordinary. They know all the players, and because they do so many deals and because of their depth of understanding of the San Diego market, I think Hughes Marino is able to help every tenant get the best deal possible.
Managing Partner, Knobbe Martens
If you are looking for a professional commercial broker that will always keep your best interest in front and work to ensure that you and your company’s needs are met every step of the way, then you should hire Hughes Marino. They think outside the box, ask detailed questions, and went beyond our expectations. I strongly advise anyone looking for a commercial lease to contact Hughes Marino.
