Commercial Real Estate Testimonials

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.

Hughes Marino is a pleasure to work with. Their team demonstrates excellent market knowledge and takes the time to ensure our needs are not only met but consistently addressed, considering both cost and building specifications. They provide us with an ample number of potential properties, many of which were not found on the usual websites. They also save me a lot of time by doing all the legwork and leading negotiations with new landlords. I highly recommend Hughes Marino for any industrial real estate needs.

Hughes Marino has talented real estate negotiators, strategists and advisors and they are a pleasure to work with. They understand our future laboratory goals and objectives while keeping an eye on all of the details associated with a complex relocation assignment. We remain a loyal client of Hughes Marino and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great tenant broker firm.

I worked with Hughes Marino on a 10-year, 24,000 SF Class A office lease; and a 5-year renewal at the expiration. I had worked with a broker from a national firm on a similar transaction years earlier, and the comparison was night and day. I found Hughes Marino to be cool, calm, and most importantly, creative. We were able to leverage their vast knowledge of the Class A office market, and complete lack of conflict
as no one in their office represents landlords, and strike two below-market deals. My partners and I 100% endorse Hughes Marino and look forward to working with them on our next transaction.

I would like to express my gratitude for the expertise and professionalism of this team. I needed to locate a facility with strict requirements. They took the time to understand our needs, educate me on the steps we needed to take and identify options, which led us to find the correct facility for our company. In addition, they were able to ensure that we were covered for every aspect for the lease by recommending outstanding legal representation and a strong project management representative. We are using them again to help us locate our next facility to accommodate our expansion needs. Due to their ability to adapt to changing needs and requirements, patience, expertise and knowledge I strongly recommend this team for your needs.

We had an amazing experience working with the Hughes Marino team on LUXE Travel Management’s one-of-a-kind corporate headquarters relocation. The recommendations that Hughes Marino provided allowed our over-the-top dream of putting an airplane in an office building to become a reality and I’m confident no one else could have done the job. They expertly guided us through a complicated process and delivered a result that helped us save costs, avoid unexpected problems and ultimately, created an office environment that enhanced our company culture setting us up for future success. I strongly recommend Hughes Marino to others and look forward to working with them again when we have future needs.

Hughes Marino expertly advised Make-A Wish throughout the entire real estate process, ultimately securing us an amazing new space (at below market rates), while working with our landlord to fund the build out of our new space. Their team turned what could have been a stressful process into an enjoyable experience with the results we had hoped of achieving. After the new lease was signed, they remained involved through the TI construction to ensure our best interests were met. We are currently using them on two additional negotiations, and look forward to continuing our relationship with Hughes Marino.

The partnership with Hughes Marino resulted in an office space of which I am really proud. Our employees have an environment that encourages collaboration, drives engagement, and fosters meaningful relationships. The negotiated improvements allowed us to focus on taking the design to the next level in a way that fosters well-being and joy on a daily basis. It is truly an office space that will support our continued success well into the future.

2024 marks pSemi’s 20th year working with the Hughes Marino team for all of our commercial real estate endeavors in the region. Throughout our company’s many cycles of growth and repurposing of building space, Hughes Marino has helped us tremendously with their knowledgeable review of available properties, expert assistance in the negotiation and execution of property leases, and provided us with highly competent project management services to, in three cases, refit older leased facilities to meet our specific high-tech business needs. I am very happy to rank Hughes Marino as our trusted partner in all things real estate.

Hughes Marino has been our real estate partner for many years, helping us scale from 35 offices to 75 offices. I trust them to deploy our real estate strategy and advocate for our preferences and limitations across the country in dozens of states, including Canada. They’ve become our outsourced real estate department, working effectively both with my executive team and local general managers to strike the right balances with all our leased and owned properties.

Sekisui engaged Hughes Marino in 2011 to help with the renewal of a mission critical 45,000 square foot diagnostic research and manufacturing facility. Hughes Marino knew the market situation very well, and negotiated a below market lease for this very difficult to move facility. Since then, the Hughes Marino team has guided us through expansions to support our diagnostics businesses for 53,000, 23,000 and 4,000 square feet, as well as an additional renewal of the original 45,000 square foot facility in 2019. Hughes Marino always has our interests at the forefront, and supports us in our forward looking strategic real estate requirements.

The Hughes Marino team is composed of talented real estate negotiators, strategists, and advisors. They understand the unique facility and business requirements of tenants in the aerospace and defense industry. We hired Hughes Marino to assist Spaceflight in evaluating the relocation of two key locations. The goal was to secure a single, expanded facility that that could house both our office and, mechanically complex, R&D side of the business; not an easy task in this market. They did just that while incorporating flexibility into the lease and minimizing out of pocket expenses. I would strongly recommend Hughes Marino to any company with specialized production and expansion requirements.
