A Different Kind of Commercial Real Estate Company
By Shay Hughes Over the past few years I’ve written a lot about the ways we bring color and joy into our offices, from playful artwork and polka dot murals to comfy couches in emerald green, royal blue and vibrant red. It all comes back to one simple belief: the spaces we ask our teams to spend their days in…
The questions you ask up front shape every decision that follows. By Owen Rice & Gavin Curtis One of our clients in the professional services industry had spent nearly 30 years in the same building. When their lease came up, the obvious move seemed simple: renew or find another office of comparable size. Instead, we took the company through a…
By David Marino After touring thousands of office buildings over the course of our careers, paying attention to details becomes second nature. Long before we discuss square footage, lease terms or build-outs, we’re reading the small signs. Those details are clues to bigger things: how ownership actually operates and what you can expect over the life of the lease. …
Our advisors have sat alongside thousands of leadership teams working through a commitment most companies face only once every five or 10 years, and one of the largest they will ever sign. After enough of those negotiations, patterns emerge. The industries may change, the buildings certainly change and the market cycles turn, but the counsel we give tends to circle…
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. They think outside the box, ask detailed questions, and went beyond our expectations. I strongly advise anyone looking for a commercial lease to contact Hughes Marino.

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.
