The new five-year, fixed rate loan funded on September 6 by lender ReadyCap Commercial, LLC, of Irvine, CA.
According to Zaya S. Younan, Chairman and CEO, "Once again, we successfully worked with ReadyCap to access the current rate environment and take advantage of favorable terms and lock in long term debt for this asset. This new financing provides us with additional resources for capital improvements, leasing, and tenant improvements. Recently, we announced a major capital program to further upgrade the asset, which will include lobby and elevator renovations, lighting enhancements and garage upgrades. Together, these projects and enhancements serve to underscore Younan Tower's position as a Class A, premier office property. "

The lobby features granite and marble flooring and walls. The building offers a seven-level parking garage, abundant surface parking, full service cafe, 24/7 security and after-hours card key access.
Younan added, " The Houston market continues to outpace the nation in employment, low cost of living and opportunity. With overall market vacancy hovering at 9%, Houston's office market remains one the healthiest in the nation. Younan Tower is especially attractive to tenants who desire an amenity-rich, Class A building in a vibrant, gateway submarket."
