BOMA 360 and TOBY

BOMA 360 Performance Program

BOMA 360 is the first step towards applying for a TOBY award. This is a building certification to elevate your properties. This is for building owners and managers who want to give their buildings a competitive advantage, something to help them stand out from the crowd in an ever-competitive market.

The BOMA 360 label proves that your building meets rigorous energy, efficiency, operations, and management standards — maximizing its value, operational efficiency, and tenant satisfaction.

Make sure you elevate your property by applying for the BOMA 360 designation. Learn more

What is a TOBY?

The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY®) Award is the commercial real estate industry’s highest recognition honoring excellence in commercial building management and operations in specific categories of building type or size. For an opportunity to win a BOMA International TOBY Award, a property first must earn a BOMA 360 designation and win both local and regional competitions. Whether winning at the local, regional and/or international level of the competition, you gain the opportunity to showcase your buildings strengths and gain recognition for best-in-class operations and management with the most prestigious and comprehensive award of its kind in the commercial real estate industry.  

How does it all work?

The TOBY competition consists of three levels, beginning at the BOMA local association level. Winning entries advance to the regional level and then to the international level, where TOBY Awards are presented at the BOMA International Conference each year.

Here is a step by step:

  • Get started by completing an entry form and paying your entry fee (deadline October 31, 2026)
  • Prepare your portfolio and complete a building tour for judging by the TOBY committee
  • Join us at our December Holiday Luncheon for the local winners announcement
  • Local winners will then move on to the Regional Competitive. Judging from January to March. Winners announced at the Southwest Region Conference in early April.
  • Regional winners will advance to the International competition. Winners announced at the BOMA International Conference & Expo held in late June.

Judging is based on criteria that includes community impact, tenant and employee relations programs, energy management, accessibility, emergency evacuation procedures, building personnel training programs and overall excellence. Building inspects are conducted by a team of industry experts.
