The Regions Center office tower at 400 W. Capitol Ave. in downtown Little Rock will represent the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) of Greater Little Rock chapter at the Southwest Region TOBY Awards. The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) is the most prestigious and comprehensive program of its kind in the commercial real estate industry.
All facets of a building’s operations are evaluated during the competition, from community involvement to tenant relationships and site management. The Regions Center is the only building in central Arkansas to be recognized this year.
The BOMA Southwest Region Conference is scheduled April 3-6 at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers.
