A Salt Lake City native, Marinos spent much of his youth in the Western United States focusing his time on action sports, media, and events. After graduating, he landed in the Dominican Republic managing the world’s first action sports-based Hotel, Extreme Hotels. Redeveloping the hotel’s programming sparked his entrepreneurial spirit, love of real estate, and passion for developing experiences and ecosystems.

Marinos has been in real estate development since 2011, having co-founded, co-developed, and managed multiple, city-shaping projects in Denver, Colorado. Battery621 is a 30,000 square foot collaborative office space that won the 2012 CBCA Workspace of the Year Award, 2013 Top Ten Small Business Workspaces, 2014 Denver Business Journal’s “Top 5 Tech Spaces in Colorado.” INDUSTRY is a 9.5-acre site that has won the 2014 Historic Denver Award for Preservation, the 2015 Mayor’s Design Award, and the 2017 ULI Impact Award for Innovation. The INDUSTRY site includes a 153,000 square foot collaborative office space that houses many of Denver’s top companies including the corporate offices for UBER, Core Power Yoga, Velocity Global, and Cloud Elements.
