Congratulations to everyone at the Pen Centre and BentallGreenOak for achieving BOMA BEST Platinum status in recognition of their superior operational performance and environmental leadership in the commercial real estate industry.
At 1.1 million square feet, the Pen Centre in St. Catharines is Niagara’s largest enclosed shopping centre. BentallGreenOak assumed management of the Pen Centre in January 2021, and since doing so undertook significant investment in technology, equipment, and procedures which resulted in the site achieving a score of over 90 per cent on the BOMA BEST scale.
To achieve Platinum Status, the highest level within the BOMA BEST scale, properties must meet minimum BEST Practices in management policies, plans and programs for energy, water, air quality, waste treatment, and more.
“This achievement is indicative of the dedication BGO has always applied towards environmental best practices and management,” said Steve Michniewicz, Managing Director of BentallGreenOak.
“In a very short period of time, our site teams with the help of BGO environmental, operational, and management departments, has elevated our assets to new levels of sustainability and environmental management excellence. We are proud of the accomplishment of our teams and their commitment to working with our merchants on these important initiatives,” said Steve Michniewicz, Managing Director of BentallGreenOak.
