The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International has been in existence for over a century- as chief elected officer Richard D. Purtell points out, back when skyscrapers were a newfangled concept. Today, BOMA's 16,500-plus members own or manage more than nine billion square feet of commercial properties in North America; its affiliate member organizations span thirteen other countries.
BOMA has always focused on actively and responsibly representing and promoting the interests of the commercial real estate industry through effective leadership and advocacy, through the collection, analysis and dissemination of information, and through professional development. MGB spoke with Purtell about the greening of commercial real estate and BOMA International’s role.
