It’s hard to believe, but we’re already eight months into the year of ‘doing what we said we would do’ for our 2024 HM Mini Goal Program! In July, our goal was to take a road trip, and we were yet again impressed by the dedication and creativity. For August, we’re excited to share our next Mini Goal—Take a Sunset Walk with a Friend. Our August Mini Goal is a great opportunity to enjoy the warm weather, catch up with friends, experience natural beauty and wind down the summer. The beach or any waterfront is a perfect spot—or choose any other scenic place—perhaps a bridge, a hiking trail, park or your neighborhood. While taking time to slow down and enjoy the sunset, use this opportunity to grow the friendship—whether it’s a new colleague, gym buddy or a childhood friend. Check out our blog to see a few of our favorite photo submissions from July!

Nick Saban recently retired from his legendary role as the head football coach at the University of Alabama, and is considered by many to be at the very top of his profession. During an interview after a game he was asked, “What was the key to your sustained success, to all those wins?” He responded quickly, “Don’t worry about winning, just focus on doing your job at the highest level, every single play, and the wins will follow.” By focusing on doing the very best we can, moment by moment, we can achieve big long-term goals. It’s a universal law that focusing on doing our job at the highest level possible every single day will ultimately lead to great success.

Today marks the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics! This week, we were grateful to invite Ben Hunt-Davis MBE, former UK Rowing team member and Olympian gold medalist, to speak to our team. Ben shared the inspiring story of how the British Rowing team perfected their craft to result in becoming gold medalists in the 2000 Sydney Summer Olympics. Ben’s mantra and message for our team was, “Will it make the boat go faster?” He shared with us that much like his rowing team, our team can make our boat, our company, go faster by focusing on performance to achieve results, building confidence and belief, controlling the controllables, and working with others toward our common goal. Thank you, Ben, for inspiring our team to continue making our boat go faster. Onward!

Office tenants in San Diego’s Mission Valley have become aware of significant changes to the landscape of the market in recent years, though one thing remains the same—high office asking rates and vacant buildings. In Hughes Marino vice president, Kevin Beaumonte’s latest analysis on the Mission Valley office market, he brings to light the tactics landlords are using on the brokerage community, hiding lease agreements and rental rates from the public, and acting as dual agents. These and other factors work against tenants, keeping the rents high. Learn more about the Mission Valley market, and how office tenants can capitalize on the abundant opportunities this submarket has to offer.
