Winter 2015
Kilroy and Harsch Win Bay Area TOBYs Robust cheers erupted at various tables throughout the Oakland Marriott ballroom recently when the winners of the Bay Area BOMA’s 2015 The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) were announced. The cheers came not only from those who work for Kilroy Realty and Harsch Investment Properties, whose buildings in San Francisco won, but also from the many proud Best Office Building vendors whose services and products 250,000-499,000 square feet contribute indirectly to operational 100 First St., San Francisco excellence. Kilroy Realty Kilroy was the big winner, taking Photo above: Chad Ziemendorf TOBYs for San Francisco’s 303 Second Street in the 500,000-to-1,000,000-squarefoot category, as well as The City’s 100 First Street in the 250,000-to-499,000 category. Harsch earned a TOBY for best medical office building for its iconic 450 Sutter Street tower in San Francisco.
