The Outstanding Building of the Year Awards is the most
prestigious and comprehensive program of its kind in the commercial real estate
industry, recognizing quality in commercial buildings and rewarding excellence
in building management. The competition evaluates all facets of a building’s
operations. Judging categories include: community involvement, tenant
relations, site management, environmental and “green” policies and procedures.
The 10-story, 188,950-square-foot building was recently
renovated and features a soaring atrium, updated main lobby as well as a lounge
equipped with a wine bar and putting green. Key tenants include Morgan Stanley,
UBS, Bankrate and JP Morgan Chase.
“We believe that Financial Center at the Gardens is among
the premier office buildings in the North Palm Beach submarket,” said Allen
Aldridge, senior vice president at KBS and asset manager for the property. “The
transformation of the property has been amazing, and we thank the entire
Cushman & Wakefield team for their commitment to helping us upgrade the
property into the premier office property in the area.”
Cushman & Wakefield manages the property for KBS Capital
Advisors, LLC.
