BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 30, 2004

UNICCO(R) Service Company, one of North America's largest integrated facilities services companies, has been selected by Beacon Capital Partners Management LLC to provide janitorial services at the John Hancock Tower complex, 200 Clarendon St., 200 Berkeley St. and the Stephen L. Brown Building at 197 Clarendon St.

This new account for UNICCO follows a competitive bidding process that included both regional and national bidders. The contract includes evening cleaning and day porter services, as well as exterior services, such as sweeping and snow removal for public and garage areas. UNICCO is also responsible for interior and exterior window cleaning.

"We were looking for a company that reflects our commitment to providing a quality environment for our tenants and visitors. We are impressed with UNICCO's professionalism, breadth of services and the technology they will be implementing," commented Paul Crowley, Beacon Capital Partners Management senior vice president.

UNICCO will be applying some of the latest technology in servicing the account. It will use its UNI-Q(R) palmtop inspection systems that enable both UNICCO supervisors and Beacon Capital Partners Management's facility managers to collect, report and analyze cleaning conditions throughout the properties. In addition, UNICCO will also use eProcurement processes to efficiently manage the purchasing of supplies and equipment.

"Clearly, this is a major win for UNICCO in Boston," said Michael Dunn, UNICCO vice president, "Beacon Capital Partners is an innovative real estate investment company and we believe UNICCO is uniquely able to support their properties because we have extensive resources available in Boston and in other large markets. UNICCO is dedicated to Beacon Capital Partners' success, and we look forward to a long and productive relationship."
