“The first thing that we did was to create a relationship with the city, and work with them to change the zoning from industrial to office to create a multi-tenant office environment that tenants would be interested in,” Zaya Younan, chairman and CEO of Younan Properties, tells GlobeSt.com. “This had always been a single-tenant asset, but it was zoned incorrectly.
