TOBY Winners (Continued from front page) our submission explained how we work to leverage the building’s design and state-of-the-art Energy Management System (EMS) to minimize energy consumption, maximize tenant comfort and ensure occupant safety,” said Volz.

Outdoor meeting and gatherings are more popular than ever, and the Salesforce Plaza serves as an open space for both tenants and the public to gather, host events and engage in community activities. “Tenants have utilized the Plaza for private celebrations, employee appreciation events, and community focused events that encourage employee engagement,” Volz added. Boston Properties also partnered with Off the Grid to provide weekly food truck offerings for tenants and the public. The plaza hosted a festive Holiday Market, its first major public event.

POST MONTGOMERY CENTER

In its TOBY submission, the team at the Post Montgomery Center showcased the various building improvement projects completed throughout the pandemic with an emphasis on sustainability and safety. (See a photo of the property on the front cover.)

“Highlights include replacing our original chillers and fan wall, increased lighting for night time visibility, and installed multiple EV and Tesla chargers,” said Senior Property Associate Brandon Lee. “We also got involved with urban beekeeping and installed a beehive on our roof terrace. It is now a home to 50,000 plus honey bees.”

“Safety is our number 1 priority. From tenants to building staff to patrons, we wanted to create a safe environment for everyone,” Lee added. “We installed HEPA air purifiers in every elevator cab, installed MERV 15 filters with the new fan wall, installed signage and social distance floor decals, used 100% outside air (when possible), maintained janitorial staffing for increased disinfections, and most importantly, we were transparent with our tenants by notifying the building of every confirmed case of COVID-19.”

The rooftop terrace at the property’s Crocker Galleria was heavily utilized when the City reopened. “Tenants held socially distanced gatherings and meetings,” Lee said. “Patrons also enjoyed their lunches and coffees in an environment filled with various floral types. And since the rooftop terrace is the home to our beehive, it produced gallons of organic honey for our tenants to enjoy.” This was the property’s first time competing for a TOBY. “Throughout the pandemic, we focused on improving our property and obtaining certifications. Due to our efforts, we were able to receive LEED Platinum, WiredScore–Gold, a 1 Star Fitwel rating, IREM Certified Sustainable Property, and an Energy Star,” Lee noted. “We wanted to continue our momentum and compete for a TOBY award.”

For the TOBY competition, the winning team at 100 Pine Street concentrated on the building’s operations, which include maintenance, financials and tenant relations. “We believe that a TOBY winning building is one that runs effectively and efficiently, minimizing risks and enhancing the tenant experience,” said General Manager Tracy Sharp.

Since the onset of the pandemic, the property management team’s priority has been to maintain a safe and healthy environment where tenants feel comfortable working as they return to the office. “We enhanced our cleaning specifications, staffing schedules, operational procedures, and adjusted our building services to create efficiencies in our operating expenses,” Sharp explained. “We upgraded our filters’ MERV rating, added NanoSeptic self-cleaning films to high-touch surfaces, maximized the amount of fresh outside air being brought into the building and treated heavily used common areas with a UV LED lighting system.”

As part of its tenant communications, the property offered tenants virtual events and training related to health and wellness, family, and working from home. Some of the events were hosted through the building’s HqO application. “Our goal was to keep tenants engaged in what was happening at the building as they worked from home,” Sharp noted. 100 Pine boasts dynamic best-in-class amenities, including a Wellness

Center, which provides a quiet place for yoga and meditation. The recently redesigned and renovated outdoor plaza also features a favorite local café with comfortable seating and complimentary Wi-Fi.

BAY AREA METRO CENTER: SUCCESSFUL ADAPTIVE REUSE

The Bay Area Metro Center is an 80-year-old building that has a very fascinating story — from beginning to present, with multiple evolutions. In its TOBY submission, “we wanted to highlight the building’s adaptive reuse, from being a military base to postal office to modern-day office use. And how new systems and interfaces work with the old and new,” said Senior Assistant Property Manager Annie Thai.

Recent successes prompted the team to enter the TOBY contest. “We wanted to showcase how the building impacts the neighborhood,” Thai added. “With its recent competitive accomplishment as being LEED Gold,

Energy Star-certified and BOMA 360 recognized, we wanted to continue to strive for the best for the Bay Area Metro Center—and TOBY was next.”

The Bay Area Metro Center is a hub for public and government activities. On a regular basis meetings are held to discuss a variety of transportation to air quality related topics. The building also hosts a number of pop-up events from blood drives to polling stations.

Applying for TOBY was rewarding in and of itself for the team. “The process of researching and drafting documents for this TOBY submission has strengthened our knowledge base of the building, as well as enhanced our communication with each other and our clients,” noted Thai. “We accomplished this submittal by dividing up sections between management, security and engineering.”
