ORANGE COUNTY, CA, Feb. 4, 2014 – Hughes Marino, Southern California’s leading commercial
real estate firm exclusively representing tenants, has hired Jeffrey Shepard
as Principal and Senior Vice President.
Shepard, who will work in Hughes
Marino's Orange County office, was previously the Chairman of the Board and a
co-founding partner of Cresa, a firm in the same industry.
“The decision to join Hughes Marino was made by following my
own career goal, which is to grow professionally and personally while creating
the very best outcome possible for each of my clients who has placed their
trust in me,” Shepard explained.
“Being
part of the Hughes Marino family will bring me into a team in which that
objective is not just my own, but the goal of the entire company.”
Shepard’s 25 years of tenant advocacy for clients across the
United States includes managing and negotiating large office and industrial
leases, property and land acquisitions and dispositions, and build-to-suit
projects.
He has personally been responsible for more than 10 million
square feet of transactions valued in the multiple billions of dollars. In addition, prior to becoming an exclusive
tenant advocate, Shepard has himself developed more than two million square
feet of industrial space.

“While many may ask why I left my former firm, to me
the question is what can I accomplish in this new team,” Shepard adds.
“As a member of Hughes Marino's Orange
County team, I anticipate growing our national clientele, attracting other
professionals who share the Hughes Marino culture and core values, and reaching
new levels of excellence and performance in my own career while mentoring and
learning from my team members.”
The announcement was made by Jason Hughes, President
and CEO of Hughes Marino, Inc. Hughes Marino is headquartered in San Diego with
offices in Century City and downtown Los Angeles, along with its Orange County
location.
According to Hughes, Hughes Marino’s team of specialists
represent approximately 500 active tenants throughout Southern California at
any given time, providing the Hughes Marino team with real time market
knowledge, as well as the strength of collective bargaining and unequaled
leverage with landlords.
“Jeff is considered one of the most successful brokers in
Orange County – and we are very excited to have him join our team. We have
worked with Jeff, in a referral capacity, for more than 20 years.

clients with conflict free advice and negotiating expertise. In addition,

professionals in the industry throughout our Southern California firm, and are
especially pleased to see the powerful position we are attaining as we grow our
Orange County office,” Hughes adds.

Newport Beach, has been advising clients on site selection, lease negotiations
and project management since 2010.

earned him the Irvine Company’s prestigious “Young Dealmakers of the Year”

Relations Manager in the Orange County office, as the firm continues to
increase its Orange County presence, Hughes notes.

Tucker Hughes, director of Hughes Marino, relocated
to Newport Beach and founded the office a year ago, after working for several
years in the firm’s headquarters office in San Diego, where he attained a
Master of Science in Real Estate from the University of San Diego and was one
of the youngest ever to receive a brokers license in the state of California
history.
“From our very first hire in Orange County, we were after a
special team,” Tucker Hughes notes.
“JP Roach, who has been a vice president in
the Orange County office nearly since its inception, is an attorney who blends
his legal and real estate expertise as he specializes in representing tenant
corporate real estate users, including Southern California technology, life
science and business services companies.
"With the addition of our newest team members, we have assembled what I
believe is one of the absolute finest real estate advisory groups in the
country and we are very excited about the future.”
