Office Properties Income Trust (Nasdaq: OPI) today announced it was recognized as a Silver-level 2019 Green Lease Leader at the 2019 Building Owners and Managers Association (BOMA) International Annual Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Developed by the Institute for Market Transformation and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Better Buildings Alliance, the Green Lease Leader program sets national standards for green leasing and recognizes leaders in the industry who have effectively developed owner and tenant agreements as a tool to collaborate and promote high-performance, energy efficient properties. Portfolio owners are required to meet prerequisites and specific criteria to be eligible for recognition.

This honor follows recent recognition of OPI’s business practices and portfolio by other industry and government organizations. OPI was named ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy in both 2018 and 2019. Currently, 71 properties in OPI’s portfolio are ENERGY STAR certified. Additionally, 17 OPI properties are designated as 360 Performance Buildings by BOMA, which recognizes best operational practices in the commercial real estate industry.

All properties owned by OPI are managed by The RMR Group LLC, the majority owned operating subsidiary of The RMR Group Inc. (Nasdaq: RMR), which is responsible for providing all aspects of property management services to more than 700 properties that contain over 75 million square feet of commercial office, industrial, medical office, life science and retail space.
