BOMA 360 Performance Program

The BOMA 360 Performance Program, sponsored by BOMA International, evaluates buildings against industry best practices in 6 major areas: building operations and management; life safety, security and risk management; training and education; energy; environmental/sustainability; and tenant relations/community involvement. Individual buildings that satisfy the requirements in all 6 areas are awarded the BOMA 360 designation. According to new analysis by Kingsley Associates, buildings that have earned the BOMA 360 Performance Program® designation have higher tenant satisfaction scores in all rating areas as compared to commercial office buildings without the BOMA 360 designation. Most notably, 94 percent of tenants in BOMA 360 buildings report high overall satisfaction. Click here for current BOMA 360 Designees.

The BOMA 360 Performance Program sets the standard worldwide for operational best practices in the commercial real estate industry. For building owners and managers who want to help their properties stand out from the crowd, there is no clearer mark of excellence than achieving the BOMA 360 designation.

Earning the prestigious BOMA 360 label demonstrates that a building is outperforming the competition across all areas of operations and management. Designees report the program helped them achieve operational efficiencies as well as higher levels of tenant satisfaction.

As the BOMA 360 program continues to expand around the globe, more and more properties are reaping the substantial benefits and significant return on investment that the designation offers, an unmistakable edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

Applications accepted daily. The designation is conferred quarterly

Eligibility

• Only occupied commercial office buildings/facilities are eligible for the BOMA 360 Performance Program designation for office buildings. Commercial office buildings include: multi-tenant office buildings; single-tenant office buildings; corporate facilities; government buildings; medical office buildings; suburban office buildings; and multi-use/mixed-use buildings. Office complexes containing multiple buildings or properties with separate ENERGY STAR scores will need to create separate applications for each respective building – variance in ES scores alters eligibility for certain points within the BOMA 360 application.
• The building must be occupied for at least one full year from the date of occupancy of the first tenant, with a minimum of 12 months of building operations.
• For multi-use buildings (i.e. office/retail, office/residential, mixed-use, etc.), information should be reported only on the office portion of the building. If the building contains no occupied commercial office space as described above, or is a hotel, apartment/multi-family complex it is not eligible for participation.
