The North Central Region of the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) announce 12 properties winning in the regional level competition of The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award. The North Central Region includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Kentucky.

The TOBY Awards is the most prestigious and comprehensive program of its kind in the commercial real estate industry, recognizing excellence in office building management and operations in specific categories of building size or type. To win the regional award, the office buildings first won at the local competition level. Twenty-eight distinguished properties participated in the regional competition this year.

The regional winners will now proceed to international competition where winners will be announced live on June 30, 2015 at the TOBY reception and banquet at the BOMA International 2015 Every Building Conference and Expo in Los Angeles, CA.

“Making the decision to compete for a TOBY is a commitment of staff and ownership which demonstrates best in class services for our clients and the communities in which we work,” according to Paula Goldman-Spinner, RPA, President of BOMA North Central Region. “Recognition as a TOBY award winning property is the ultimate honor; it instills a sense of pride of ownership in the management team and extends financial and environmental benefit for our owners, clients and the community long into the future.”
