The TOBY Awards is more than the result of a one-year competition. It is the reward of many years of dedication and attention to detail and of relentless passion for excellence. It is truly evidence of the character of all of those who contribute to making it happen. A reputation is the opinion of others — and all the nominees have earned an outstanding reputation. Character is who you are.
Since 1985, The Outstanding Building of the Year Award has been recognizing excellence in building management, operating efficiency, tenant retention, emergency planning and community impact. It is among the most prestigious and comprehensive programs of its kind.
At the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International’s annual conference in Nashville TN, 13 commercial properties were honored with The (2022) Outstanding Building of the Year® (TOBY®) Awards. The competition featured 62 buildings from eight BOMA International regions vying in multiple categories based on property type or size. These buildings first won a TOBY Award from their BOMA local association and then went on to compete and win at the regional level. Judging is based on criteria that includes community impact, occupant and employee relations, sustainability, accessibility, emergency evacuation procedures, building personnel training programs and overall quality indicators. A team of industry experts also conducted comprehensive building inspections.
