Every time I asked for recommendations from other business leaders about commercial real estate companies who could help with our unique systems and security needs, the Hughes Marino name came up. The team they put on our account not only identified and negotiated for a terrific space, they also managed our leasehold improvements. And through their relationships helped us fill a key management position. We’ve certainly benefited from their deep local knowledge, tenant-only focus and tireless efforts on multiple fronts. Did they meet our company’s expectations? Absolutely – and in more ways than we ever expected.

Hughes Marino did an excellent job representing us in our search for a new national headquarters building.

Hughes Marino stepped into a very challenging timeline and negotiating position and were still able to achieve meaningful improvements and necessary modifications to the terms of our lease renewal. They did so in a manner that was professional, practical, and focused. We would definitely work with Hughes Marino again.

And, even better, their services were paid for by our landlord. I would recommend Hughes Marino to anyone leasing office or lab space in the San Diego area.

I have worked with their team twice and both yielded outstanding results. They are incredibly knowledgeable about the San Diego, and in our case La Jolla, commercial real estate market and were able to secure us two extremely attractive locations/leases in almost no time and nearly no hassle. Clearly they have the pulse on this space and have the relationships to make things happen quickly and effectively.

We had an amazing experience working with the Hughes Marino team on LUXE Travel Management’s one-of-a-kind corporate headquarters relocation.

I strongly recommend Hughes Marino to others and look forward to working with them again when we have future needs.

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.

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.
