A Different Kind of Commercial Real Estate Company
Photo credit: APEX Companies By Alex Musetti, Will Tober & Mike Paleo For as long as most of us can remember, the industrial warehouse has followed a reliable formula. Racks, forklifts, aisle ways, and a floor plan built to move product efficiently from dock to shelf and back again. It’s a model that has served companies well, and for good…
A commercial lease agreement is not a standard form; it’s a negotiated contract, and every clause in it was written by someone with an incentive. In most cases, that someone was the landlord’s attorney. The result is a document that, in its default form, systematically transfers risk from the landlord to the tenant: cost exposure, operational restrictions, exit barriers and…
Signing your first commercial office lease is one of the most significant financial commitments your business will make. Most first-time tenants approach this transaction the way they approach renting an apartment: focused on the monthly rent number, moving quickly to get the space they want, and trusting that the paperwork is more or less standard. It is not. Commercial leases…
If you’ve ever approached a landlord or a listing agent directly about commercial space, there’s a good chance you’ve heard some version of this: “You don’t really need your own broker. I can help you find what you need.” Sometimes it comes with a sweetener: “We can pass along the commission savings to you on the rent.” It sounds reasonable.…
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.

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.

COO, Feeding America
As a spin out of a larger company, Agena had less than 12 months to hire an executive management team and build the infrastructure to support a new company with worldwide revenues approaching $50 million. This included IT systems, finance and administrative teams, as well as a new corporate headquarters including R&D and manufacturing. Hughes Marino listened closely and helped guide an efficient and highly effective, accelerated process of selecting and negotiating a new facility in just four months. Hughes Marino’s unique in-house construction management team seamlessly took it from there, delivering an on-time, on-budget tenant buildout from the ground up in just five months. We could not have asked for more, or been more happy with the results.

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 New York, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Houston. 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.
