The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Awards are the most prestigious and comprehensive programs of their kind in the commercial real estate industry, recognizing quality in buildings and rewarding excellence in building management. During the local competitions, all facets of a building's operations are thoroughly evaluated. Buildings are judged on everything from community involvement and site management to environmental and "green" policies and procedures.

It is time to put your buildings on display and proudly showcase your timeless work by competing for TOBY! You've worked all year to prepare for this exciting moment. BOMA Greater Charlotte invites you to enter the 2022-2023 TOBY award competition and begin the process that could earn you International recognition for your building and management team.

2023 will be a bit of a unique year for the TOBY Awards as it is the first year in which the BOMA 360 designation will be required to compete at the Regional and International level. Earning the prestigious BOMA 360 label demonstrates that a building is outperforming the competition across all areas of operations and management. Designees report the program helped them achieve operational efficiencies as well as higher levels of tenant satisfaction. Taking this first step will ensure your property has a sound operational platform focused on Operations & Management, Life Safety/Security/Risk, Training/Education, Energy, Environmental/Sustainability and Tenant Relations.

The Local TOBY submission application is now open. Do not miss this prestigious opportunity. Please review the Entry Requirements (found here), and categories below in which you may apply. You may only apply in one category. Quickly complete your 2022 local entry here!

If you wish to use the International Portal for the local entry, the BOMA 360 designation is required. BOMA Greater Charlotte is encouraging local entrants to achieve BOMA 360 designation as this will be mandatory for regional competition in 2023 (deadline for BOMA 360 application is January 15, 2023).

Not interested in entering the TOBY competition this year? Why not get started on your BOMA 360 application/designation? This universal recognition program serves as the industry standard for innovative best practices for properties that excel in building management by first applying for a BOMA 360 Designation. The program helps shape high performance buildings by providing an opportunity to educate property management professionals, reinforce team building, and increase asset value and tenant retention.

After receiving a BOMA 360 Designation, it only makes sense to showcase your buildings accomplishments by applying for a TOBY Award!
