Commercial Real Estate Testimonials

Hughes Marino has represented me at multiple medical device companies where I’ve been CEO and they have been an instrumental partner in supporting our growth and understanding our requirements. They have spent the time to get to know our operational requirements and our financial goals, executing as fierce advocates on our behalf. Hughes Marino is the go-to firm in representing medical device and health care companies that have specialized requirements like ours.

Hughes Marino helped us clarify our requirements and surveyed all of our options. Through their robust process, their team negotiated the building of our choice and preferred location to become the low-cost leader. In addition to covering most of our tenant improvement costs, they were able to negotiate the credit enhancement requirements down to a favorable level. They also negotiated a year of free occupancy so we could move into a portion of the premises now in order to meet our immediate expansion requirements. Hughes Marino provided guidance on the schedules and cost evaluations to refine our tenant improvement scope and will oversee the remodel of the new facility. We could not have pulled it all together without their collaboration and tireless support.

From project inception to our grand opening celebration, Hughes Marino was with us every step of the way. The on-time/on-budget result was a magnificent state-of-the-art campus that now enables legendary discovery to scientists around the globe.

I can’t say enough good things about Hughes Marino. They were referred to us by one of our investors. We were trying to cut our rent in half, and we were already in a lease that had expired. Needless to say, we had little leverage to negotiate. Hughes Marino’s detailed knowledge of the lab market and improvement costs, not to mention our landlord itself, made this deal come through. We were on a short timeline to execute and reduce our monthly costs. Hughes Marino pulled through. We were able to cut our rent in half five days after the lease was executed. I am very happy we had Hughes Marino represent us as they did an excellent job. I would be glad to recommend their services to any business that has real estate needs.

Hughes Marino has provided stellar results for us in multiple markets. In all cases, substantial savings and more favorable terms were realized with their professional tenant focused expertise. In one instance, three contiguous properties owned by three separate landlords was renegotiated by Hughes Marino in a way that justified staying rather than relocating to a new site. I strongly recommend Hughes Marino for all your commercial real estate needs.

Their market knowledge is incredibly valuable to me and my company. Hughes Marino’s perseverance yields results far exceeding expectations, and partnering with them has certainly benefitted me as the Facilities Manager in charge of real estate decisions. Not all brokers involve the parties responsible for ultimately operating and maintaining the building when it is occupied. They understand and respect the intricacies of my position and value the service I provide internally to my company. I can trust them, and share confidential information with them knowing it will be kept as such. Obviously, financial considerations are the biggest priority. Hughes Marino helps with the cost considerations AND helps keep operating expenses low–on our most recent renewal, they cut our rent by over 40%. They’ve become involved in many property management issues we had over the years, even working with the landlord to get the trees trimmed back from our building!

Every once in a while, a service provider surfaces that completely resets your expectations of what that industry can provide, and does so with unparalleled professionalism. Over time you realize that they have become a partner as opposed to simply a service provider. Meet Hughes Marino.
