Truth Behind The Numbers: Vacancy Rates In Commercial Real Estate
By Hughes Marino on April 17, 2024
In 1954, Darrell Huff's How to Lie with Statistics quickly became a standard textbook for any introductory statistics class, addressing thorny concepts such as random sampling, correlation versus causation and visual misrepresentation through scale manipulation or truncation. The book makes the case that we are all susceptible to being misled if we are not careful about the way we interpret statistics.

By Hughes Marino on March 19, 2024
While this title seems like a bold assertion, everyone is waking up to the reality that the office markets around the United States are in freefall. Consider this graph that compares January 2023 availability rates of U.S. office space to today. Nearly every metro area has crested 20%... or is well on the way… with Denver and the Texas markets of Dallas, Houston and Austin all at 25%, and San Francisco in the lead at almost 33%. Never in history has there been a bigger fall from grace than the story of Downtown San Francisco office real estate, having gone from one of the most expensive and tightest markets in the United States, to now by far the softest. Meanwhile, Miami is uniquely beating all the odds, and a full five percentage points below the next softest market.

Testimonials
I have worked with the Hughes Marino team for over ten years, their knowledge of the local 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.
Managing Partner, Knobbe Martens
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.
Former managing partner of Lerach Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins (now Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd) Robbins Gellar
We have a long-term relationship with the Hughes Marino team that goes back 17 years. They’ve handled many projects for us, including our corporate headquarters in Carmel Valley, our San Diego Service Center in Kearny Mesa, and numerous branch locations throughout the county, including our main downtown office. They’re very professional, and they have good, solid market information. You’re not concerned that they’re also representing one of the landlords you are negotiating with because they only do tenant representation, which for us is important.
