BOMA Edmonton and North

What BOMA Edmonton and North does

BOMA Edmonton and North (legal name: Building Owners and Managers Association of Edmonton and North) is a non-profit industry association founded in 1960, headquartered in EPCOR Tower, downtown Edmonton, and serving commercial real estate professionals across the Edmonton Metropolitan Region, Central and Northern Alberta, the Northwest Territories, and Yukon. It is one of 11 local BOMA chapters in Canada and part of a global network of 120 BOMA associations under BOMA International. The association offers tiered annual memberships (Principal members priced at C$1,250-C$1,590+GST based on property square footage, Allied members at C$625+GST, and free Student/Recruit tiers), with corporate memberships covering unlimited employees.

Its core products include the BOMA Floor Measurement Standards suite (ANSI-approved Z65 series across Office, Industrial, Multi-Family/Hospitality, Retail, and Mixed-Use property types), BOMA BEST sustainable building certification (North America's largest commercial environmental certification program, administered federally through BOMA Canada), the Square Footage annual market intelligence publication (in its 34th year), the Emerging Leaders program for professionals under 40, and the Creating Career Pathways in Commercial Real Estate (CCPCRE) Indigenous inclusion initiative. Revenue is generated through membership subscriptions, multi-tier event sponsorships (Strategic through Bronze), signature events (Awards Gala, Golf Classic, Charity Softball, Pickleball), BOMA BEST certification fees, and BOMI designation programs. The leadership team is small (4 named executives plus an outsourced CFO via BDO), and governance is by a member-elected board. Notable members include Cameron Development, Aspen Properties, Avison Young, Qualico, Stantec, AIMco, City of Leduc, and MacEwan University.

The go-to-market is sales-led and member-driven: outreach via direct sales, networking events, referral programs, and partnerships with regional economic-development bodies (Edmonton Global, Invest Alberta, Explore Edmonton). Its strategic role includes advocacy (e.g., the May 2026 joint letter to the Mayor of Edmonton on return-to-office policy for municipal employees), professional education, and convening, supported by multi-channel marketing through website, monthly newsletter, LinkedIn, signature events, and the annual BOMEX summit hosted by BOMA Canada.
