2023 TOBY & 2022 Association Awards

The TOBY awards recognize The Outstanding Building of the Year in multiple categories. Winning a TOBY can bring recognition and prestige to a property. The Association Awards acknowledge BOMA Georgia members for excellence in several areas.

On Feb. 15, 2023, BOMA Georgia was pleased to honor Georgia’s top commercial buildings for their achievements in operational excellence at the annual TOBY & Association Award Celebration presented by 2023 Platinum Sponsor, Full Circle Restoration, A Cotton Company.

TOBY judges evaluate a building’s overall excellence in building standards, community involvement, tenant and employee relations, energy management, building accessibility and emergency evacuation and training for building personnel.

Entrants competed in their category based on the strength of their building as represented in their application-demonstrating the quality of their building operations and management practices.

The 2023 TOBY competition featured an impressive group of candidates representing multiple categories.

Local TOBY winners advance to the regional level, where they will compete against other office buildings from across the Southeast at the BOMA Southern Region Conference, held April 13-15 in Orlando Florida, hosted by BOMA Orlando. More information can be found at www.bomasrc23.org.

BOMA Georgia will share the results of the Southern Region TOBY awards in upcoming communications.

Congratulations to all the winners for exemplifying excellence within our BOMA Georgia organization!

250,000 to 499,999 Square Feet

Winner: 7000 Central Park

Owner: Starwood Capital Group

Management: Laura Poss, Core Property Capital

Built in 1986, the prominent and modern steel-framed building rises 180 feet tall over a pristine greenspace and water feature. Treated glass wraps the entire building from the third floor to the penthouse on the 18th floor and is framed with sleek aluminum cladding.

The light beige concrete columns at the base of the building support what appears to be an effortless fully-glass structure.

The concrete columns and facade from the first floor Terrace Level to a small portion of the fifth floor are sturdy yet elegant with a modern and clean design. Additional supportive columns to the right of the building entry create an exterior two-story tall seating space.

This seating area houses lush landscaping in modern planters and luxurious sod while backing up to the two-story floor-toceiling glass windowed lobby.

As viewed from across the building on the other side of the water feature, the building distinctively begins to incline from left to right, beginning at the 14th floor.

This incline continues at an estimated 30-degree angle until the 18th-floor penthouse on the far right of the building creates a stunning apex.

As the building inclines to the right, glass windows are positioned at a slanted angle from the top of the building down to the 14th floor in place of a roof or walls.

These sloped glass windows create a remarkable feature of tenants’ suites that is truly unparalleled throughout the city.

Winner: NCR Global Headquarters

Owner: Cousins Properties

Management: Ashley Simien, Cousins Properties

Designed by Duda|Paine and Gensler, NCR Global Headquarters is located on a 4.16-acre L-shaped site that includes two office towers (North and South). The building’s exterior consists primarily of sloped aluminum framed reflective glass. The sloping creates an illusion of movement as the building moves from day to night and is finished with a dazzling granite stone band at the street level.

The angular glass facade, rising to staggered points, allows the structure to stand out from the surrounding buildings. While the transparent glass facade reveals the activities on every floor to spectators, it also gives employees sweeping views of the city.

The campus fronts Spring Street, 8th Street, and Williams Street in Midtown Atlanta. NCR Global Headquarters is in close proximity to the Georgia Tech campus, the Midtown MARTA station, and the 5th and 10th street pedestrian bridge.
