Younan Taps Ridnour to Direct Local Leasing

DALLAS-Younan Properties Inc. has named Thom Ridnour to the newly-created position of director of leasing. In his new role, the industry veteran is responsible for leasing and marketing Younan’s 6.5-million-square-foot Dallas portfolio, which accounts for more than half of the company’s total assets.

Ridnour’s appointment is one of the first steps Younan is taking to build its in-house leasing platform, according to Robert Peddicord, chief operating officer of Younan. “We are revamping our organization to capture new business as we see the market turning,” he tells GlobeSt. “As activity has picked up, we decided we needed more manpower.”
