Success Stories, UG2 in Action

Celebrating the 2021 BOMA Boston TOBY Industry Award Winners

By Armando Lezama

Success is earned and UG2 is ever striving to raise the bar on industry excellence, we take exceptional pleasure in celebrating our customers’ stellar achievements to that end

At an annual dinner held on November 18, the Boston chapter of the Building Owners & Managers Association (BOMA) announced winners of The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) awards for industry excellence in property management, building operations, and service. UG2 was proud to be the Platinum Sponsor.

In a year that has been especially challenging, we are thrilled to celebrate our customers’ and industry’s accomplishments, the teamwork that goes into readying these buildings for awards consideration, and the tremendous, behind-closed-doors joint effort that make them shine every day of the year.

Congratulations to all the winners and our customers!
