TOBY

It’s official—BOMA Greater Los Angeles just made history. For the first time ever, every building submitted for the TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Awards from our market won at the regional level and will now advance to the international stage.

This isn’t just a win—it’s a statement about the strength, innovation, and resilience of our commercial real estate community.

Our region swept the competition, with wins across every category entered:

  • Renovated Building – 1900 Avenue of the Stars

How It Impacts You

This achievement speaks volumes about our market.

Even in a challenging environment—rising costs, evolving regulations, and shifting tenant expectations—LA’s commercial buildings are setting the standard for excellence.

That’s a direct reflection of the work BOMA/GLA members are doing every day to operate smarter, invest strategically, and deliver high-performing properties.

It also reinforces something we already know: Greater LA isn’t just keeping up—it’s leading!

Let’s Celebrate

Moments like this don’t happen often—and they deserve to be recognized.

Congratulations to all the teams behind these incredible buildings. We’ll be cheering you on as you head to the international stage!
