INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE EXPERTISE
Specializing in Industrial Tenant
Representation for All Business Sectors
INDUSTRIAL SPACE EXPERTS COMMITTED TO YOUR SUCCESS
As a leading international tenant representation company, we represent industrial users in every sector with every type of space. Warehouses, e-commerce and distribution centers, labs, manufacturing plants, office, medical device, assembly line, flex space—you name the situation, we have the experience. Whether you are leasing, renewing, expanding, contracting, consolidating, subleasing, buying a building or building one from the ground up, our experienced team is committed to your success.
OUR JOB IS TO PROTECT YOUR INTERESTS
We specialize in representing tenants, not landlords, so we don’t have the conflicts of interest that are common at other commercial real estate firms. As your trusted advisors, we work to understand your needs and develop real estate strategies aligned with your objectives. We help you evaluate all your options and aggressively negotiate on your behalf, leveraging our deep relationships and collective bargaining power to get you the best economic outcome and most favorable terms.
Hughes Marino has developed a specialized industrial team with the insight and expertise to handle industrial lease and purchase contracts of all sizes and complexities—from a thousand square foot warehouse to a multi-million square foot industrial portfolio. We understand the specific technicalities of each industrial sector and utilize the local market knowledge necessary to ensure our clients secure the best operational and strategic space for their business.
THE COST TO YOU? NOTHING.
When considering the impact that real estate commitments have on the financial health of a business, smart companies know they can’t afford to do it alone. But many don’t realize that expert representation doesn’t have to cost them. Our services are paid by the building owner—who pays a fee whether you hire representation or not—so there’s no additional cost to you. Further, we believe that if we aren’t earning your business every day, we shouldn’t have the privilege of working with you, so we don’t require a contract to get started and you can terminate our services at any time.

SELECTING THE BEST SITE
Site selection should never be a guessing game. We offer advanced tools and local market expertise to help you get the space you need in a location that’s right for your company.
