Stiles announced that its owned and managed office buildings, the historic Plaza at Las Olas and The AutoNation Building in downtown Fort Lauderdale, were honored with The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) awards from the Fort Lauderdale/Palm Beach Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA).
“With more than two million square feet added to our portfolio in 2014, Stiles is having a tremendous year with property management operations throughout Florida,” said Chris Rotolo, president of Stiles Property Management. “These awards underscore our high caliber team and commitment to hands-on property oversight, sustainability programs, responsive service and quality maintenance.”
Stiles corporate headquarters, Plaza at Las Olas, was the recipient of the TOBY award in the Corporate Facility category. Originally built as a two-story structure in the 1940’s, Plaza at Las Olas has been renovated four times over the last eight decades and has become a landmark on Las Olas Boulevard. With its most recent renovation, the property earned LEED certification while being transformed into a contemporary and functional office space boasting nine stories, clean lines, a crisp façade and Class A restaurant and retail on the ground floor.
Recipient of the Earth award, The AutoNation Building in downtown Fort Lauderdale was granted top honors for sustainability. The 17-story building is LEED-Gold certified and acknowledged for energy conservation, indoor air quality, green cleaning and tenant education. The property comprises more than 187,000 square feet of office and 17,000 square feet of retail near Las Olas Riverfront.
