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.
