NEW YORK CITY-BOMA/NY held its Oscar-style Pinnacle Awards ceremony Thursday night at Chelsea Piers, where 550 commercial real estate executives and their supporters were in attendance. Ten awards were given out, with some suspense surrounding the honors as all building awards are kept secret until the envelopes are opened on stage.
Vornado Realty Trust led the evening with three awards while Monday Properties took home two. Paramount Group garnered the Pinnacle in the operating office building 500,000 to one million square feet category for the third year in a row and also for three years running, women dominated the manager of the year competition in the over 10 years of experience category.
BOMA/NY president Thomas Hill paid tribute to each nominee for "their courage in taking a spot on the playing field of competition that inspires us to greater achievements as individuals, companies and as an industry." BOMA/NY executive director Roberta McGowan also was recognized for the anniversary of her 25 years of service to the association.
