Quest Sustainability Authors Multiple Winning BOMA TOBY Award Entries

Winners Recognized in Earth and Corporate Headquarters Categories


FRISCO, TX--(Marketwired - Mar 3, 2014) - Quest Resource Management Group, LLC, a subsidiary of Quest Resource Holding Corporation (OTCQB: QRHC) (Quest), today announced that its division, Quest Sustainability was a key contributor to both Energy Plaza and Hunt Corporate Headquarters being selected as 2013 Office Building of the Year (TOBY®) Award winners; both entries authored by Quest. Both buildings were recently honored at the BOMA Dallas' TOBY® Award ceremony located at the Marriot at Legacy Town Center in Plano, TX. Winners were honored in the following categories:

  • Energy Plaza (managed by Transwestern) - Earth
  • Hunt Corporate Headquarters - Corporate Headquarters

Earth category entrants highlight efforts by the building management team to preserve and enhance the internal and external environment through green and sustainable programs. Corporate Headquarters entrants are government agencies or private enterprises (at least 50% occupied by the corporate entity) spotlighting building management team initiatives and best practices.

"At Energy Plaza, we know that our environment matters to our tenants and employees. Our onsite team and partners support our commitment to environmental stewardship and have gone to the 'nth degree' to ensure Energy Plaza exemplifies that commitment," said David Bryant, Senior Property Manager Energy Plaza (Transwestern).

"When you think of TOBY, you think of The Outstanding Building Of The Year," said Scott Schutz, Office Services Manager Hunt Consolidated, Inc. "What you don't realize is the behind the scenes efforts that not only go into the physical tour of the building, but the book as well. With Quest's assistance, our book portion has been seamless and is professionally done -- telling 'our Story'!"

The Office Building of the Year (TOBY®) Award was created in 1985 to salute excellence in the office building industry. The TOBY® Award has grown from a modest beginning into a notable and prestigious program that now recognizes more than just office buildings. As a result, its name has changed in 2010 to The Outstanding Building of the Year. More than 25 years later, it remains the most prestigious and highly celebrated program of its kind in commercial real estate, recognizing quality in commercial real estate buildings and rewarding excellence in building management.

"We are honored to have had the opportunity to work with and showcase two of downtown Dallas' premier office buildings," said Quest Sustainability's Chase Ezell. "Both building management teams personify excellence in their given category, and we look forward to seeing each building advance to regionals." 2013 represents the second consecutive year that Quest Sustainability has assisted and with Hunt Corporate Headquarters BOMA Dallas' TOBY Award.

Energy Plaza and Hunt Corporate Headquarters each advance to compete in the BOMA Southwest Region TOBY® Award competition to be held March 27-29, 2014 in Fort Worth, TX.
