SAN DIEGO – (June 25, 2012) – A team of 66 employees of McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., (www.mccarthy.com) stepped up the firm’s tradition of charitable community involvement by participating in the World Famous Mud Run on June 16th aboard the Camp Pendleton Base (top left photo) north of Oceanside, Calif.

 This year’s Mud Run was held at the military base over three consecutive weekends.  Proceeds raised from the June 16th race benefitted the Camp Pendleton Armed Services YMCA. 


McCarthy employees -- 45 men and 21 women -- comprised almost half of the 155-member Clark/McCarthy team, which together raised a total of $5,000 to help military members and their families.

 The Clark/McCarthy team captured fourth place out of 293 in the Mixed Division, placed number 14 out of 70 in the Female Division, and ran away with three of the top five spots in the Corporate Division, including a fourth place overall.

The Clark/McCarthy team also had the highest number of participants of any sponsor.

The joint venture design-build team of Clark Construction Group, LLC, and McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., is building the new 500,000-square-foot Naval Replacement Hospital Project at Camp Pendleton.

 It is the largest American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project to be awarded by the Department of the Navy. When complete in early 2014, the new $394 million, multi-level hospital will serve active duty military from all service branches, reservists, retirees and family members.

Gaedeke Earns BOMA 360 Awards For Office Properties in 4 Metros



 DALLAS, TX – Gaedeke Group LLC has secured prestigious BOMA 360 Performance designations for a quartet of class A office buildings in four metropolitan markets, a testament to its commitment to providing the right tools and people at its properties.

The designation, subject to renewal every three years, has been accorded to 2800 Tower in Phoenix (top left photo); 1310 G Street in Washington, D.C. (middle right photo); Northbridge Centre in West Palm Beach, Fla. (middle left photo); and One McKinney Plaza in Dallas (lower right photo).

"Gaedeke Group is certainly a player in the different markets with BOMA and our staff appreciates the benefits being a member of BOMA brings to our ownership.  It was with that in mind that we entered these buildings in the BOMA 360 program at this time," says Dan S. Yates, RPA, Southwest regional manager and green programs officer for the Dallas-based company.

"This designation reflects the dedication our company has towards providing excellence in building operations to our tenants and owner."

Yates and Marvin Mouser, senior property manager for Gaedeke's Southeast region, currently are in Seattle to accept the BOMA 360 awards, which are being presented at BOMA's 2012 Every Buildings Conference & Expo at the Washington State Convention Center.

Yates and Mouser were past presidents of BOMA chapters in Dallas and Nashville, respectively, so being on hand to accept Gaedeke's awards were fitting.
Gaedeke's focus on renovation and sustainability resulted in Banner Place earning a BOMA 360 designation last year and has triggered plans to submit applications later this year for Museum Tower in Miami and Highland Ridge Tower in Nashville. 


In the past two years, Gaedeke has focused on upgrades and sustainable initiatives for its three-million-square-foot portfolio of 15 class A office buildings in Arizona, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, D.C., and Germany. 

The investment in time and capital has resulted in numerous industry awards for the Dallas-based investment group, including Energy Star certifications for 13 of its 15 properties.

A BOMA 360 Performance designation demonstrates to tenants and prospective tenants that the building's management and operations meet the highest standards of excellence.

Laura Crosby manages 2800 Tower, a 364,533-sf high rise at 2800 N. Central Ave. in the Central Corridor while Gina Pimentel is at the helm of 1310 G Street, a 195,711-sf building just minutes from Capitol Hill.

Bertie Russo, CPM, RPA, is the property manager for the 288,233-sf Northbridge Centre at 515 N. Flagler Dr. in the CBD; and Teresa Schiller, RPA, heads up the property management team for the 263,921-sf One McKinney Plaza at 3232 McKinney Ave. in Uptown Dallas.

The property managers represent at least 40 years of combined of experience in their industry.

The BOMA 360 Performance Program is a groundbreaking building designation program that evaluates properties in six major areas:  building operations and management; life safety/security/risk management; training and education; energy; environment/sustainability; and tenant relations/community involvement.
