We have worked with Hughes Marino since 2007. Since that time they have assisted with over 10 lease negotiations, several build outs and multiple moves. They take the phrase “full-service” to a whole new level as experts in not only getting the deal done but helping the business remain productive during construction associated with moves and expansions. We look forward to continuing to grow with them.

We have a long-term relationship with the Hughes Marino team that goes back more than 20 years and they have handled our Lease Administration since May of 2013. We take comfort in knowing their very capable Lease Administration team is there each and every day to help us stay on top of critical lease related issues. I can confidently say that Hughes Marino has added great value to our Lease Administration processes, created significant savings for us and reduced the risk associated with our lease obligations.

I have been working with Hughes Marino for almost three decades. As a CFO, trust is critically important in all my business partners. The Hughes Marino team has been my trusted “go-to” team for leasing and leasing related advice during my career in a variety of companies. They have managed projects for me throughout the United States including Florida, North Carolina, Colorado, Ohio as well as California. These projects have run the gamut from multi-year lease negotiations to building out large manufacturing facilities. The team is always available and has provided advice on a broad range of topics even when not specifically engaged financially.

Our partners at Hughes Marino are extremely responsive in identifying options for us in critical markets. They help leverage our position in the market on renewals and really go above and beyond to drive savings.

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.

The Hughes Marino team has been an incredibly effective partner for Redfin. They have a deep understanding of our office needs nationwide, and we have complete trust in their ability to find us the right space and on the right terms. If we’re looking to rent a whole floor somewhere, or just a desk in a coworking space, they treat every transaction with the same impressive amount of care and attention. Their team regularly audits our office portfolio and operating expenses, which on several occasions have yielded surprise savings for Redfin. We’ve over the moon about our relationship with Hughes Marino. They’re a wonderful team.

Hughes Marino has proven to be our trusted partner globally for all of our real estate acquisition, disposition, renewal and lease administration services. Supporting the company in over a dozen projects throughout the United States and Europe, the leadership and support we’ve received around all of our corporate real estate has been exceptional. Their team is proactive, insightful and provides tremendous coaching for our entire senior leadership team. Their advice has always been direct and creative, always with our best interests in mind.

When we embarked on our office move after 20 years in the same location, Hughes Marino was the perfect partner. The Hughes Marino team was responsive, strategic and creative at all stages of the process. They knew the market cold and they had our back. We couldn’t have asked for a better partner, and the solution we created together achieved all of our business and brand objectives. We trusted Hughes Marino to guide us to the right solution, and we couldn’t be more proud of our location and our space where we are close to so many of our clients.

I have worked with the Hughes Marino team for over ten years, their knowledge of the 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 market, I think Hughes Marino is able to help every tenant get the best deal possible.

Hughes Marino has been my real estate partner of choice since I started the company. They’ve advised on numerous expansions and lease renewals, and supported my team through issues around design and construction, operating expenses, and even dealing with our landlord on EV charging stations. They nail the details, and we trust them to ensure that we get the best deal, and help guide us to make the right operational and strategic decisions.

My working relationship with Hughes Marino has lasted almost three decades, where I was CEO of two companies and now as a board member of others. Hughes Marino supported our executive team with all of our real estate initiatives, from the strategic and conceptual through the execution. This included our multiple headquarters relocations and expansions, and expansions, relocations and lease renewals of our mission critical R&D labs and validated clean room operations. Whether it be a review of our operating expenses or the expansion of our 200,000 SF site, I have implicit trust in their counsel, recommendations and ability to execute on behalf of the companies that I have led and am involved with.  

Hughes Marino has been a value-added partner to Eurofins | EAG Laboratories for nearly ten years now. Significant value has been created through strategic planning, negotiation and execution around lease renewals, minimizing real estate related operating costs, site acquisition for new organic growth and greenfield labs, project management for tenant improvement as well as space planning. The approach is rigorous and disciplined and grounded in local market economics with a full understanding of costs for lease versus buy versus build. The results have had a positive impact on our business by lowering real estate related costs as a percentage of revenue, which is a KPI we track closely in our business, with a portfolio of 15 sites and growing throughout the United States. Whether on the West Coast in Silicon Valley and Southern California, or on the East Coast in Princeton, New Jersey and Raleigh, North Carolina—Hughes Marino has delivered for us on a national level and is a highly-valued partner to our business.

Working with Hughes Marino these last five years was a fantastic experience. They are responsive, loyal, professional and understand client needs that achieve our goals and objectives. I had the privilege to work with Jason and Star on our most recent lease renegotiation and expansion. They did an excellent job of negotiating very favorable results⁠—all while insulating us from a tough negotiating landlord. The fact that they only represent tenants speaks to their success in achieving client satisfaction. Our transaction included a significant multi-floor occupied remodel, and Hughes Marino’s Planning + Design and Project Management teams worked together with Jason and Star to bring our office up to date and emulate our brand and values. We can’t recommend Hughes Marino enough!

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.
