Baptist Health Wins BOMA International TOBY Award

We’re thrilled to share exciting news from the global stage of commercial real estate: Baptist Health Plantation Medical Office Building, expertly managed by Yanei Perez of Baptist Health Enterprises, has been awarded the 2025 BOMA International TOBY (The Outstanding Building of the Year) Award in the Medical Building category!

This prestigious recognition highlights the best-of-the-best in building operations and management, and we couldn’t be prouder to see one of our local properties take home the honor.

From Local Standout to International Winner
The journey to this win started right here in South Florida. Baptist Health Plantation Medical Office Building first impressed judges at the BOMA Fort Lauderdale/Palm Beaches TOBY Choice Awards, where it stood out among 12 remarkable properties for its operational excellence, tenant satisfaction, and community impact.

After claiming the local award in 2024, the property advanced to the regional competition, ultimately earning its place as an international champion.

What Set This Building Apart?
Exceptional Leadership
Under the guidance of Yanei Perez, the Baptist Health team elevated medical office building management to new heights. Her leadership focused on:

• Patient and Tenant Safety: Proactive risk management, emergency preparedness, and enhanced security protocols.
• Energy Efficiency & Sustainability: LED lighting retrofits, optimized HVAC systems, and innovative water conservation programs.
• Wellness-Focused Tenant Experience: Custom wellness initiatives and highly responsive maintenance practices, improving tenant satisfaction and comfort.
• Community Engagement: Hosting health-awareness programs and partnering with local non-profits to serve the broader community.

Team Collaboration
Yanei attributes this success to the dedication and expertise of her team:

“So proud of this accomplishment for our Baptist Health Plantation Medical Complex… Thankful to my amazing team…”

This collaborative spirit embodies the very heart of the TOBY Awards—recognizing excellence that comes from strong leadership paired with a committed operations team.

Why This Win Matters
This international recognition goes far beyond a single building. It:

• Elevates South Florida on the global commercial real estate map.
• Sets a Benchmark for medical facilities focused on sustainability, safety, and occupant well-being.
• Inspires Other Properties to pursue operational excellence and community impact.

Congratulations, Yanei and Baptist Health!

On behalf of BOMA Fort Lauderdale/Palm Beaches, we extend our heartfelt congratulations to Yanei Perez and the entire Baptist Health team. This win reflects not only your commitment to excellence but also the innovation and professionalism that define our region’s commercial real estate community.
