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.

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.
