BOMA San Diego

What BOMA San Diego does

BOMA San Diego, legally the San Diego Building Owners and Managers Association, Inc., is a private non-profit professional trade association founded in 1963 and headquartered at 402 W Broadway, Suite 400, San Diego, California. It operates as a regional chapter affiliated with BOMA International and BOMA California, serving commercial real estate professionals in San Diego County. Its core constituencies are property managers, facility managers, building engineers, building owners, and vendor/service providers (Associate members), with a secondary Emerging Professional tier aimed at practitioners under six years of experience. The organization runs membership programs, the annual TOBY Awards recognition program across multiple asset categories, the BOMA 360 Performance Program, BOMI-certified Foundations Classes leading to RPA and FMA designations, and recurring networking events such as monthly membership meetings, the Annual Winter Gala, Summer Golf Tournament, and Day at the Races.

The association's revenue model is a recurring annual membership dues structure with tiered pricing: Principal membership at $1,100 per person, additional Principal seats at $750, Corporate Principal at $3,100 for five members, Associate (vendor) at $1,200, additional Associates at $850, Non-Profit at $750, and Emerging Professional at $450. New members joining October-December receive 15 months at the price of 12, and a 40% discount applies to new members joining July through September. A second revenue stream comes from a tiered corporate sponsorship program (Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Energy Sponsor) anchored by vendors such as AO Reed, ABM, Allied Universal, BlueSky, Bright View, Sherwin-Williams, Highland, Kastle, LandCare, Paragon Services Engineering, and SDG&E. Distribution is community-led: prospects join through the website, word-of-mouth, and committee participation, with Principal members gaining bundled access to BOMA International and BOMA California benefits. BOMA San Diego uses Naylor Association Management Software as its back-office platform and has no disclosed API, AI/ML, or technology integrations.

Broad incumbents

• ULI (Urban Land Institute): A broader real estate and land use research and education organization serving cross-sector CRE professionals; overlaps with BOMA membership at developer and owner levels but with a wider urban planning remit.
• NAIOP: The national commercial real estate development association; BOMA focuses on building operations while NAIOP focuses on development and investment, but both serve overlapping owner/principal members in commercial real estate.
• CCIM Institute: A commercial real estate association offering the CCIM designation for investment and brokerage professionals; serves a related but distinct segment of the CRE workforce compared to BOMA's operator/manager focus.
• CoreNet Global: The corporate real estate association serving in-house corporate real estate executives; overlaps with BOMA at the enterprise occupier/owner level but focuses on the occupier side of CRE rather than building operations.

Direct peers

• BOMA International: The national federation of which BOMA San Diego is a local chapter; offers overlapping advocacy, education (BOMI), and TOBY Awards programs at the federal level for the same commercial real estate membership base.
• NAIOP San Diego: The San Diego chapter of NAIOP, the commercial real estate development association, serving overlapping building owner and developer members with advocacy, networking, and education in the same geography.
• BOMA California: The state-level BOMA chapter providing California advocacy and resources; BOMA San Diego members receive California benefits, making this a direct peer chapter operating in the same space and serving overlapping members.
• IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management): A national association for property and asset managers offering CPM, AMO, and ARM credentials and advocacy; competes with BOMA's RPA/FMA designations for the same property manager member base.

Regional players

• BOMA San Francisco: A peer BOMA local chapter in Northern California offering identical membership tiers, recognition programs, and CRE professional development for the San Francisco Bay Area market.
• BOMA Greater Los Angeles: A peer BOMA local chapter serving the Los Angeles commercial real estate market with the same membership, TOBY Awards, advocacy, and education model — directly comparable but operating in a different California metro.
