In Loving Memory of J. Michael Coleman
https://www.mcelvarrfuneralhomes.com/obit
Please read in completion for details on his upcoming Mass, a future Celebration of Life, areas where you may direct gifts in memory of Mike, and more details.
We continue to carry his family & loved ones in our hearts and prayers, and ask all of our members to do the same.
It is with the deepest sadness that we share news with that we have lost a dear friend, trusted colleague and true icon of BOMA. J. Michael Coleman passed away this morning following complications from a fall and related surgery. At this time, no details on arrangements, contributions or other family wishes are known.
As you know, the incomparable J. Michael Coleman spent more than 30 years with AlliedBarton (Allied Universal), retiring as the VP of Commercial Real Estate in 2017. He was a fixture of the industry, as well as a huge part of the heart & soul of BOMA Philadelphia. He considered BOMA to be his home, and all of us to be a part of his extended family.
His contributions to BOMA are countless, supporting BOMA International and local associations through sponsorships and leadership. He was in the inaugural class of BOMA Fellows, the highest honor awarded by BOMA International, and has served on the BOMA Foundation Board, BOMA Executive Committee, and in many other leadership roles. Locally, he began BOMA Philadelphia’s Safety & Security Committee, which continues to be one of our Association’s most integral and influential resources. This is a small sampling of Mike’s incredible devotion to protecting and advancing our community.
In 2014, BOMA Philadelphia introduced the J. Michael Coleman Member of the Year Award. This award is presented annually to an Associate or Regular listed member of BOMA Philadelphia who embodies the spirit of Mike’s generosity, dedication, knowledge and passion for BOMA and the commercial real estate industry.
Anyone who was fortunate enough to know Mike was touched by his kindness, his huge heart, his quick wit and his ability to listen and offer the best of advice. Our hearts are so heavy and to say that he will be missed is a tremendous understatement. We will forever be grateful for all that he meant to BOMA Philadelphia. Our sympathy, prayers and warmest wishes for peace & comfort are with his family and loved ones.
GETTING BACK TO WORK
Earlier this year, BOMA International assembled a task force to publish a guidance document that would help commercial building professionals prepare for occupant re-entry amid COVID-19. Due to the evolving nature of the pandemic and its continued impact on the commercial real estate industry, the task force reassembled this fall to re-examine the original guidance and develop updated operational and safety recommendations. Getting Back to Work 2.0: Building Re-Entry Best Practices in a COVID-19 Reality replaces the original guidance document released in May and is a framework for developing, updating and executing individual property or portfolio plans and responding to increasing expectations for buildings and workplaces. All sections of the original document have been significantly edited and updated to include new information and suggested best practices for consideration.

Just Released: BOMA International COVID-19 Impact Study
While COVID-19 continues to be a disruptive force for the office sector and its tenants, the perceived value of the office as a key ingredient of business success remains strong. That is one of the major takeaways of the BOMA International COVID-19 Commercial Real Estate Impact Study, a groundbreaking study of more than 3,000 U.S. commercial office space decision-makers commissioned by BOMA International.
Written by global real estate software company Yardi and developed by Brightline Strategies, a leading real estate research and advisory services firm. The study provides a clear indication of the pandemic’s broader transformational effects on commercial real estate and how tenant attitudes towards the in-person work environment have shifted.
