San Diego-based Hughes Marino, a commercial real estate company representing tenants in lease negotiations and building purchases, named Scot Ginsburg as senior vice president and Tucker Hughes as an associate.

Ginsburg represented tenants and occupiers of commercial space throughout his career. He specializes in high-tech, life science, business service, research and development, and other growth-oriented companies.

Prior to joining Hughes Marino, Ginsburg served as managing director at Jones Lange LaSalle and a principal with The Staubach Company. His skills range from lease acquisitions, lease renewals and early lease restructures, to build-to-suit developments, property acquisitions, and specialized tenant improvements designed for today’s demanding technology and biotech corporations.

“His passion for representing tenants exclusively comes from his personal experience as co-founder of a former high-tech company, where he found himself as the tenant on an uneven playing field with the landlord,” said Jason Hughes, president of Hughes Marino. “Applying this knowledge, Ginsburg fully understands each client’s unique requirement from the tenant’s perspective and is a strong advocate on his clients’ behalf.”

Ginsburg received his bachelor’s degree with distinction in biology from San Diego State University. He has served as a guest lecturer at both SDSU and the University of California, San Diego, as well as a guest columnist for California Real Estate Journal and The Daily Transcript. He resides in Santaluz with his wife and two children.

Tucker Hughes specializes in tenant representation throughout San Diego at Hughes Marino.

He received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from the University of San Diego, completing his undergraduate degree in only two years. He will complete his master’s degree in real estate at USD in May 2013.
