The Outstanding Building of the Year® (TOBY) Awards

BOMA Honors Excellence in Commercial Real Estate

The TOBY Awards are the commercial real estate industry's highest recognition honoring excellence in building management and operations.

To be eligible for a TOBY Award, a building must first win an award from their BOMA Local Association, then compete and win at the regional level.

Judging criteria 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 conducts a comprehensive building inspection as part of the evaluation.
