About

David Marino is senior executive managing director and co-founder of Hughes Marino, and co-leads the HM Science team. David specializes in high-value, time-critical and complex transactions for biotech, medical device, instrumentation and healthcare companies. He is an expert in the strategic planning, market assessment, financial analysis, business terms structuring and negotiations aspects of commercial real estate.

After finishing his MBA at USC, David began his commercial real estate career with Trammell Crow Company in 1989, during which David leased the properties for Hybritech’s R&D and manufacturing space. In 1990, David completed his first career tenant representation project for Baxter Healthcare for 25,000 square feet. It was that experience that sparked David’s passion for tenant representation and helped him realize the value that his MBA training and landlord experience would bring to tenants. David has been exclusively representing tenants since 1991, completing over 20,000,000 square feet, comprised of over 3,000 transactions globally.
