SLG honored at BOMA NY Annual Pinnacle Awards
SL Green Realty Corp (SLG) was honored with two statuettes at BOMA New York's 45th Annual Pinnacle Awards ceremony held on February 7th at Chelsea Piers. SLG received coveted accolades in both the Operating Office Building of the Year and Manager of the Year categories. "The continued recognition of SLG's performance by its peers in the industry is just as rewarding as it is motivating," said Edward Piccinich, executive VP of SLG. "Our culture is one that continually raises the bar for performance and seeing my hardworking team being recognized by BOMA, is a testament to that philosophy."
SL Green re-acquired 110 East 42nd Street in 2011 and immediately began working to preserve this historic gem located in the heart of the Grand Central submarket. "By forging ahead with much needed interior upgrades and landmark restoration work, we were able to revitalize the reputation and historic importance of the property as well as renew the industry's interest in the asset," said Piccinich. 110 East 42nd Street now boasts the quintessential charm of historic New York as well as contemporary amenities for its tenants, giving it a competitive edge over its peers. SL Green was also presented with a second award for Property Manager of the Year (10+ Years Experience). Patricia Revellese has been consistently recognized by her peers and the real estate industry. During her time with SL Green, Revellese has won BOMA's Manager of the Year award and REBNY's 2012 On-Site Manager of the Year Award. In addition, she led the charge in taking home the BOMA Pinnacle Award for Operating Building of the Year in 2011 for 609 Fifth Avenue, the property she manages. Piccinich said, "Professionals such as Patricia are hard to come by in today's real estate industry. She is an example of how experience is a critical component to success." After taking home the 2011 - 2012 BOMA NY Pinnacle Awards, winners continue on to the Regional Mid-Atlantic TOBY competition. Past winners include 100 Park Avenue. This year's TOBY awards will be presented on March 22nd in Baltimore. This year, SLG will be representing 1515 Broadway, which has been nominated for the TOBY for Corporate Facility, and 461 Fifth Avenue, which was nominated for Operating Office Building of the Year.
