The commercial real estate market is the softest it has been in decades. For companies that occupy office, industrial or lab space, these conditions only cycle in about once a decade, so it’s the right time to be proactive about your lease even if you have a year or more left. Across nearly every market in the country, there is…
Ask most business leaders what drives growth and you’ll hear about market timing, strategy and execution. At Hughes Marino, the answer has always been simpler, yet much harder to replicate: people and culture. From day one with our first office to fifteen years later and the expansion across 15+ cities nationwide, that belief has never wavered. Build the right team,…

We have worked with Hughes Marino since 2007. Since that time they have assisted with over 10 lease negotiations, several build outs and multiple moves. They take the phrase “full-service” to a whole new level as experts in not only getting the deal done but helping the business remain productive during construction associated with moves and expansions. We look forward to continuing to grow with them.

If you are looking for a professional commercial broker that will always keep your best interest in front and work to ensure that you and your company’s needs are met every step of the way, then you should hire Hughes Marino.

Tim Ney
Former COO, Feeding America
I have worked with the Hughes Marino team for over ten years, their knowledge of the office space market is extraordinary. They know all the players, and because they do so many deals and because of their depth of understanding of the market, I think Hughes Marino is able to help every tenant get the best deal possible.

We believe if you represent both plaintiffs and defendants there’s an automatic conflict, whether it be real or perceived. So it only made sense to choose Hughes Marino, a company that represents tenants only, to handle our lease negotiations in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and New York. With over 150 lawyers and 275 support staff, we have very specific space and technology requirements and Hughes Marino has the expertise to manage our leasehold improvements. We’ve certainly benefited from their tenant-only focus and full range of services. They are tireless in their efforts.
We believe that it is our duty as a local business to give back to the community that nurtures us. That’s why we are proud to support the many nonprofit organizations that make Silicon Valley a great place to live and work.
