Recently the Chicago FBI Regional Office was designated a BOMA 360 Performance Building by the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International. The BOMA 360 Performance Program validates and recognizes commercial properties that demonstrate best practices in building operations and management. The Chicago FBI Building is owned by the GB Program, an affiliate of USAA Real Estate Company.

"This building has been one of our premier assets since its development in 2006. This year's designation follows the success of last year when it was one of only a handful of properties in the U.S. to achieve LEED EB O&M," said Pat Duncan, Chairman and CEO of USAA Real Estate Company.
"We are proud to designate the Chicago FBI Building as a BOMA 360 Performance Building in recognition of the high standards the management team has achieved in every aspect of building operations and management," said BOMA International Chair James A. Peck, RPA, FMA, senior director of asset services, CB Richard Ellis. "By achieving the BOMA 360 designation for your building, you demonstrate to your owners, tenants, prospective tenants and the community that your property is being managed to the highest standards of excellence."
The BOMA 360 Performance Program is an online self-assessment 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. The BOMA 360 Performance Program takes a holistic approach to evaluating a building's operations and management and benchmarks a building's performance against industry standards. The program comes at a critical time, as building owners and managers are looking to differentiate themselves in a demanding market.
