BOMA Names Renovated Sherman Oaks Galleria Building of the Year
Galleria Nabs Greater Los Angeles TOBY* in 2007, is Pacific
Southwest Region Winner in 2008
The TOBY Award is the most prestigious and comprehensive program

windowless box into a state-of-the-art
open-air lifestyle center that
includes 700,000 square feet of office
space in four buildings overlooking a
300,000-square-foot retail,dining and entertainment complex.
