The Building Owners and Managers Association of Greater New York (BOMA New York) announces two new categories for the 2018 BOMA New York Pinnacle Awards: Mixed-Use Buildings and Public Assembly Buildings. The Pinnacle Awards honor commercial real estate professionals and buildings.
The Mixed-Use Buildings Category
All properties considered under this category must have an integration of at least three components that are a mix of retail, entertainment, residential, hotel, recreation or other functions. Each component will be at a minimum of 10 percent of the total property. Properties nominated under this category can be one structure or more than one building managed by the same company. The space must be pedestrian-oriented and contain elements of a live-work-play environment. The properties must maximize space usage, and have amenities and architectural features that assist in mitigating traffic and sprawl.
The Public Assembly Buildings Category
All buildings considered under this category must be publicly accessible and support multiple uses. The multiple use character of these buildings may influence the building’s utility use, opening hours and tenant or occupant relations. This category includes: stand-alone arenas, amphitheaters, auditoriums, art galleries, churches, hotels, convention centers, exhibit halls, courthouses, stadiums, university building(s) and other buildings that are publicly accessible. This category allows for entry restrictions based on ticketed or multitenant/occupant areas.
Additional Categories
The Mixed-Use Buildings and Public Assembly Buildings categories are two of twelve types of Pinnacle Awards offered. The additional categories include: Outstanding Local Member, Historical Building, New Construction, Earth Award, Henry J. Muller Vision Award, Manager of the Year, Corporate Facility, Renovated Building, Operating Office Building and the Grand Pinnacle.
