TOBY Awards

The Office Building of the Year Awards

BOMA San Diego hosts an annual awards competition to recognize excellence in the commercial building management industry. The Office Building Of The Year (TOBY) competition is held in conjunction with BOMA International. Winners of the local San Diego competition advance to regional, state and national competitions.

The prestigious TOBY Award is bestowed as the highest mark of excellence for office building management and is the most all-inclusive program in the commercial real estate industry. All facets of a building's operations are thoroughly evaluated during the judging process by a panel comprised of industry professionals, including architects and commercial building managers.

The evaluation criteria for the TOBY Award includes tenant relations programs, community involvement, emergency evacuation procedures and continuing education for building personnel.
