Tulsa, OK – Oral Roberts University is excited to announce CityPlex Towers is The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) in the Over 1 Million Square Foot Category. The Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) presented the TOBY Award December 6, 2016.

CityPlex is the largest commercial office center in Oklahoma. Over the past 7 years, ORU, with the advice and direction of the on-site property management company, Trinity Corporate Real Estate Advisors, has made many upgrades to the building, adding new cooling towers, heat exchangers, lighting, and upgrading the fire alarm system.

BOMA judges toured the building to see how millions of dollars has been spent on remodeling, to provide amenities including meeting auditoriums, shared conference centers, health facilities, food services, plus a new and improved lobby and atrium.

One requirement of winning the TOBY Award is to have earned the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR certification. CityPlex earned it with a score of 93 which means it’s performing in the top 7 percent of similar facilities nationwide. To earn the EPA’s ENERGY STAR certification, the building must use on average 35 percent less energy and release 35 percent less carbon dioxide than typical buildings.

“It’s an honor to receive such a prestigious award”, said Mike Predovic, President of Trinity Corporate Real Estate Advisors and Asset Manager for CityPlex Towers. “We’ve worked really hard over the past several years to transform the former City of Faith into a premier facility for a variety of businesses including healthcare. In that process, we’ve tried to honor its founder, Oral Roberts, while also supporting the university that bears his name.”

Over the past year, Trinity has leased over 200,000 square feet of space including a contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
