BOMA 360 Certification
Since pursuing BOMA 360 Performance Program designations in 2023 we have achieved this certification for multiple properties, underscoring our commitment to operational excellence and sustainable practices. Properties that achieve the BOMA 360 designation demonstrate exceptional performance across multiple areas, ensuring best practices and enhanced building value.
Key areas evaluated by the BOMA 360 program include:

Buildings are evaluated for efficiency in managing daily operations, ensuring reliability, and maintaining optimal performance.

These include emergency preparedness and response plans, fire and life safety systems, and cyber security protections to safeguard both physical and digital assets.
- Energy and Environmental Sustainability: The program encourages buildings to adopt robust energy management practices, waste management, recycling programs, and other sustainable initiatives. By prioritizing sustainability, BOMA 360 properties reduce resource consumption and environmental impact.
- Training and Education: The BOMA 360 designation places a strong emphasis on continuous education for property management teams. Training in industry best practices ensures that staff stay current with evolving standards and technologies, enhancing service quality and operational expertise.
