We moved...from the second floor to the 17th floor! To accommodate a new tenant in the atrium of 200 Public Square we moved into brand new space in Suite 1750 of the building. Please feel free to stop by and see us and our new digs, just remember to bring a photo ID because you will now have to check-in with security before proceeding into the tower. Our new address: 200 Public Square, Suite 1750.PHOTO TO THE RIGHT: From our conference room you have a great view of the Public Square reconstruction - and of course that means you can see the enormity of the Soldiers & Sailors Monument from above. BOTTOM LEFT PHOTO: This shot of the Terminal Tower was also taken from our conference room. On a clear day you can easily see the Gold Coast of Lakewood to the West, Key Tower and the lake to the North, and beyond the Innerbelt Bridge to the South.BOTTOM RIGHT PHOTO: This a shot of our new front doors as you step off the elevator.

6TENANT STAR SIGNED INTO LAW

On April 30, President Obama signed into law S. 535, the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015, which was co-sponsored by Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) and Rob Portman (R-Ohio). The legislation includes a provision to create a Tenant Star program to encourage commercial real estate tenants to benchmark their energy efficiency and earn recognition from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Building owners across the country strive to distinguish their properties with ENERGY STAR certification; the Tenant Star legislation aims to replicate the success of that program with commercial tenants. The program was endorsed by a number of real estate industry and environmental groups and enjoyed bipartisan support in Congress. BOMA supports the voluntary, cost-free program, as it allows tenants to work as partners with building owners and property managers to strengthen energy efficiency efforts in commercial properties.

2015 MOB CONFERENCE EXAMINES MAJOR SHIFTS IN HEALTHCARE DELIVERY

The 2015 Medical Office Buildings & Healthcare Facilities Conference, held last week in Cleveland, brought together more than 950 attendees from across the country, including a record number of health system executives. The conference attracted a diverse crowd that included real estate professionals from brokerage and service firms, developers, investors and financiers, healthcare REITs, architectural firms and advisory firms.

This year, the conference program focused on technological advancement and innovation in healthcare delivery; the evolution from volume-based to value-based care; the shift from inpatient to outpatient services; and how all these factors are transforming the face of healthcare real estate. Attendees were able to choose between a wide range of breakout session topics, including how innovation in facility design is improving patient care and supporting workforce objectives; navigating the increasingly challenging environment of healthcare facility leasing and management; and how health systems are managing the shift from a volume-based reimbursement model to an outcome-based at lower cost business model.

The BOMA MOB Conference is widely regarded as the most important networking and business development event of the year for healthcare real estate professionals. Mark your calendar and be sure to join us next year, May 3-5, 2016, in Orlando, Florida, for the 2016 Medical Office

Buildings & Healthcare Facilities Conference.

BOMA INTERNATIONAL ACCEPTS EIGHTH ENERGY STAR AWARD

At an awards ceremony on April 20 in Washington D.C., 128 organizations, including BOMA International, were honored with the EPAs 2015 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year Award. This year, BOMA took home the Partner of the Year Award for Sustained Excellence for its continued leadership in protecting the environment through superior energy efficiency achievements. BOMA previously was honored as ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and received the Sustained Excellence Award in 2009, 2010, 2012, 2013 and 2014.

As part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability, this week, BOMA International also released its seven strategies commercial real estate professionals can implement in their buildings to be sustainability leaders on Earth Day and every day. These strategies are just a few ways to maximize energy efficiency and make building operations more sustainable.

BOMA Ohios Advocacy Day at the Statehouse

WHATS HAPPENING...

On April 22nd, BOMA members from across Ohio descended onto the Statehouse in Columbus for the annual Advocacy Day. The BOMA Greater Cleveland contingent consisted of 10 members that met with 11 legislators. Topics included: thanking the legislature for supporting Historic Preservation Tax Credits, concern for a parking tax proposal, and encouraging tax credits for installing electric vehicle charging stations on commercial property.

WHATS HAPPENING...

Preparing for the RNCMembers are beginning to prepare for the 2016 Republican National Convention. Guest speaker Lynn Vilmar, RPA, Senior Real Estate Manager, CBRE in Tampa spoke from personal experience about how members must make budget considerations, manage tenant expectations and deal with protestors during the convention.

security plan for the entire event. Building owners and managers need to take many budgetary items into account: additional security officers, upgrades to cameras, upgrades to building access, plywood to board up windows, overtime pay & benefits to engineering staff, and securing exterior features such as fountains and art work. Properties should also engage with local representatives from Homeland Security for Threat Assessments of their buildings. This is a free, ongoing program it will be useful to you before, during, and after the RNC. SECURITY There have been numerous reports regarding the protests that have occurred recently here and around the country. Mayor Jackson and other City leaders have met with numerous civic, community and business leaders throughout the region in an effort to share and glean information. Due to these meetings it is anticipated that protests will continue to be peaceful in the coming weeks. At the same time, the City and others have implemented protocols to diffuse potential issues. The Mayors office will continue to utilize BOMA, DCA and GCP as the primary method of information sharing. BOMA Greater Cleveland is committed to distributing that information promptly to our members.PUBLIC SQUARE & OTHER CONSTRUCTION Have you seen the Public Square makeover photo album on our Facebook page? We are frequently updating it so you can view its progress. Vehicle traffic now moves around the Square and we have experienced some traffic backups during morning and evening rush hours, but it has been relatively calm thus far. The resurfacing of St. Clair downtown has created some problems, but that project will be completed soon. W. 3rd will be the next street resurfaced downtown. BUILDING CODE PROPOSALIn the aftermath of a recent partial faade collapse

on a downtown building the City of Cleveland is considering a faade inspection law. Currently, neither the Ohio Building Code nor the Cleveland Building Code requires regular inspection of a buildings faade. Several cities do, including Columbus, Milwaukee, and Chicago. Important to note is that many building owners already do their own periodic inspections whether it is part of the sale or refinance of their asset or part of the annual preventative maintenance plans. From BOMAs perspective, what will be important for building officials and legislators to keep in mind is that each building is unique and causes & severity of faade deterioration are not always the same.

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION

You can see pictures of our recent Preparing for the RNC event on the opposite page, but there are several items worth highlighting that were discussed at that event. Every time a major political partys convention occurs it is labeled a National Security Special Event. That designation comes directly from the Secretary of Homeland Security. The Secret Service then assumes the role of being the lead agency for the design and implementation of the operational
