TOBY Awards

The Office Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards Program is an international competition that recognizes properties that exemplify superior building quality and excellence in office building management. The award is the most prestigious and comprehensive award in the commercial real estate industry.

Participants are judged on the effectiveness of their overall management in various categories, including community impact, tenant relations, energy management, emergency preparedness and training for personnel. Detailed property inspections, floor plans, building standards and photographs complete the entry portfolio and allow the judges to thoroughly examine all facets of the property and management.

This year, BOMA Greater Minneapolis is proud to have two TOBY competitors who have advanced from the Local to the Regional competition!
