"We are proud to designate Burnett Plaza in Fort Worth as a BOMA 360 Performance Building in recognition of the high standards the management team has achieved in every aspect of building operations and management," said BOMA International Chair Mr. Ray H. Mackey, Jr., RPA, CPM, CCIM, Partner and Chief Operating Officer, Stream Realty Partners, L.P. "By achieving the BOMA 360 designation for your building, you demonstrate to your owners, tenants, prospective tenants and the community that your property is being managed to the highest standards of excellence."

"The BOMA 360 designation validates our commitment to delivering superior property management services," said Mr. Gerald Oliver, Senior Vice President of Commercial Property Management for Behringer Harvard. "This achievement would not have been possible without the dedication of the professionals at Burnett Plaza who embraced our vision of exceptional service and made it a reality."

The 40-story Burnett Plaza, located at 801 Cherry Street in the heart of Fort Worth's central business district, was acquired by Behringer Harvard in February 2006. Towering 567 feet high, Burnett Plaza is the tallest and largest office building in Fort Worth. Comprising more than 1 million square feet of premium office space, the tower offers convenient access to Sundance Square, the Fort Worth Convention Center and a famed cultural district featuring buildings designed by world-renowned architects.

The BOMA 360 Performance Program is a groundbreaking building designation program that evaluates properties in six major areas: building operations and management, life safety/security/risk management, training and education, energy, environmental/sustainability, and tenant relations/community involvement. The program takes a holistic approach to evaluating a building's operations and management and benchmarks a building's performance against industry standards. The program comes at a critical time, as building owners and managers are looking to differentiate themselves in a demanding market.
