New York, NY BOMA International presented 17 International TOBY Awards at the annual conference last month. Two NYC buildings returned with the TOBY, beating dozens of buildings from around the globe. The Hearst Tower won “Best Corporate Facility,” owned by the Hearst Corp. and managed by Tishman Speyer Properties. 280 Park Ave. won “Best Renovated Building;” owned by Vornado Realty Trust and SL Green Realty Corp, managed by CBRE.

The International Awards culminate a year-long effort. In order to qualify for an International TOBY, you first have to win a local TOBY Award, followed by a regional TOBY victory. This city-wide achievement marks the second time NYC won two International TOBY Awards – the last time was in 2011.

“TOBY Award winners exemplify leadership and demonstrate best practices for the entire CRE industry,” said Hani Salama, chair and CEO of BOMA NY. “As we congratulate our local megastars on their International TOBY Awards, we look forward to restarting the TOBY process with the BOMA NY Pinnacles.”

The awards recognize quality in properties and reward excellence in building management. BOMA NY unveiled the nominations for the 2020 Pinnacle Awards:
