PHOENIX – Transwestern today announced that the Freeport-McMoRan Center received The Outstanding Building of the Year (TOBY) Award for 2013 from the Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA), Greater Phoenix chapter. The award recognizes Transwestern’s building management and operations skills in the Corporate Facility category.
The 2013 BOMA Greater Phoenix TOBY awards ceremony was held Friday, Nov. 15, 2013, at The Renaissance Phoenix Downtown. The competition honors outstanding commercial office buildings and excellence in building management. All facets of a building's operations are considered, including its tenant relations program, amenities package, community involvement, emergency evacuation procedures, building standards, sustainability, energy management, accessibility and overall exceptional service.
“It is such a privilege to manage the Freeport-McMoRan Center, one of Phoenix’s most iconic high-rise office buildings,” said Transwestern General Manager Mary Anne Lanoue, a past president of BOMA. “The 2013 TOBY Award exemplifies why this is a model commercial development. The entire Transwestern team could not be more proud.”

Completed in 2010, the building is the corporate headquarters of Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc., the world's largest publicly traded copper mining company.
