Starbucks Center Takes Home a 2025 BOMA International TOBY Award

For the Second Year in A Row, A Greater Seattle Member Wins a BOMA International TOBY Award

This year, the 2025 BOMA Conference was held in Boston, Massachusetts and The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY®) Awards Ceremony was held on Tuesday, July 1st. Seattle brought home an International TOBY® Award for the second year in a row! Starbucks Center (managed by Kidder Mathews and owned by First and Utah Properties, LLC) won in the Mixed-Use Category.

“We’re incredibly proud and humbled to receive the International TOBY Award and to represent a building we’re honored to call our workplace,” said Mabel Kha, Portfolio Administrator at Starbucks Center. “This achievement is a true testament to the dedication, collaboration, and hard work of our entire team – Coleen Spratt, Jim Lovested, Shirley Cornish, James Jorgensen, Bill Petrie, and the Holaday-Parks Engineering team. It’s an honor to share this moment with such an inspiring group, and we look forward to what we’ll accomplish together next.”

This year, the Pacific Northwest Regional Winners represented five categories: Corporate Facility (1001 East Tower - CBRE), Life Science (188 East Blaine – Alexandria Real Estate Equities), Mixed-Use (Starbucks Center – Kidder Mathews), Renovated (Market Place Tower – CBRE), and 250,000-499,999 SF (Hill 7 – Hudson Pacific Properties). Overall, 72 regional winners competed in 17 categories to win the prestigious International TOBY® Award.

The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY®) Awards are the highest honor in commercial real estate, celebrating excellence in building management, operations, and sustainability. Properties are judged on key criteria including community impact, tenant and employee relations programs, energy management, accessibility, emergency evacuation procedures, building personnel training programs, and overall excellence. To be eligible for the international competition, a building must first earn a BOMA 360 designation and win at both the local and regional levels. Winners at each stage demonstrate best-in-class performance and are recognized at the BOMA International Conference.
