A World Class Tour of Icons for Our Newest Class of Members
One of the best ways to
learn, is to learn from the best, and throughout October, our BOMA/NY Emerging
Leaders members will be able to do just that with a tour of icons that
epitomize excellence at every level. If
you’re in the Emerging Leader membership class, save the dates below and look
for your electronic invitations soon. For managers and mentors, make sure you
promote these opportunities to your up-and-coming staff. For more information,

Golden Imagination and Gastronomic Delight
The month kicks off with a
tour of the multiple award winner, 200 Fifth Avenue (awards include the 2010-11
Pinnacle for Renovated Building), led by Property Manager Herb Gonzalez, 2015
Pinnacle Manager of the Year. 200 Fifth’s renovation by L&L Holding LLC is
one of the most spectacular in years—a total repositioning of the historic
landmark from a vastly under-used and dated facility, to a LEED Gold corporate
headquarters showcase inside and out, with rooftop amenities that have made it
a destination for all New Yorkers. Now the global headquarters of advertising powerhouse, Grey, and the legendary jeweler, Tiffany, 200 Fifth has received
multiple LEED Gold certifications for the building and the tenant spaces.
Touring 200 Fifth is an
experience for the imagination. The journey from sidewalk to roof, and
encompasses these highlights: the historically restored entrance that opens into
a gleaming new white and silver lobby/atrium; an interior courtyard carved out
of a poorly used mechanical space that is now complete with, among other
features, hanging gardens that run the full height of the building; and a roof
unlike any other office building in New York.--an amenities platform where stunning tenant
conferencing facilities are side-by-side with a retractable roof beer garden developed in collaboration with 200 Fifth's retail tenant Eataly, the Italian cuisine emporium created by renowned chef, Mario Battali. October 6, from 3:30 to 5 pm with a reception
following on the roof.
Platinum Innovation for Corporate America
Double-Pinnacle winner (New
Construction and Earth, 2010-11) One Bryant Park was much anticipated when news
of its pioneering green construction was announced in the last decade. As the
northeast anchor of the Bryant Park marketplace, it also served as a major
development force for the neighborhood even before the first piece of
construction equipment rolled onto the site. It lived up to its billing when it
opened in 2010 as North America’s first office tower built to LEED Platinum
criteria and has become widely recognized as one of the most
environmentally-advanced office buildings in the world.
That accomplishment made it
a learning experience for our industry nationwide and the tradition continues
today with our Emerging Leaders tour of this standard-setting skyscraper, now
the fourth-tallest in New York City. Developed and managed by The Durst
Organization, the soaring 2.35 million-sf tower houses Bank of America’s global
corporate and investment banking businesses, The Durst Organization’s corporate
headquarters and other prestigious tenants. Durst Vice President Ron Jerman will lead a tour of its outstanding green features, including an urban garden
room, a 4.6-MW combined heat and power plant, an ice cooling system, a
building-wide water reclamation system, green roofs utilizing compost from
tenant cafeteria waste, state-of- the-art advanced air filtration and much more. October 13, from 9:30 – 11:00 am
"The Garden" – Behind the Scenes of an Icon
To generations of New
Yorkers, "The Garden" is one of the biggest names on the sports and
entertainment world stage—a place of milestone memories where the hometown team
notched world-class records or broke our hearts with stunning losses. It is
where political conventions nominated future presidents, or where we kept the
beat all night long as legendary performers gave the concert of a lifetime.
From the Ali-Frazier "Fight
of the Century" in 1971 to the record-breaking concerts of Lady Gaga and Billy
Joel, Madison Square Garden as it stands today is the fourth busiest concert
venue in the world and the home of some of the greatest sports franchises ever.
And now our BOMA/NY Emerging Leaders will be able to go behind the scenes with
a guided tour of operations and infrastructure, led by Vice President of Building Operations, Bill Martino. Among the high points
will be a look at how the home ice is made and installed for the New York
Rangers, and how the management team juggles operational needs and challenges
for The Garden’s many days when hockey, basketball and pop stars are all performing
simultaneously. October 20, from 9:30-11:00 am
