About Ben Younan

After 7 years of traveling and volunteering across the globe—immersing myself in diverse cultures and witnessing firsthand the power of humanity—I felt the pull to come home and put down roots. I knew I wanted to build something meaningful, to make a contribution the community that shaped me. Real estate became a vehicle for that connection. I found success quickly but realized that to truly make an impact, I needed to refine my focus and elevate my vision.This led me to launch ToFT Realty, a firm built on the principles of simplicity, design, and client-centered service. The name ToFT, from a 12th-century Norse word meaning “home” or “a site for a dwelling,” reflects my deep commitment to creating spaces that offer more than just shelter—they provide a sense of belonging.Leveraging more than a decade of real estate expertise, I’ve taken the next step into commercial development with Keystone Development Partners (KDP). At KDP, I collaborate with a highly skilled team of experts in real estate, finance, and operations. Together, we’re shaping the future of flexible office warehouse spaces, providing small and emerging businesses with the modern, scalable environments they need to grow. Our projects respond directly to post-COVID market demands, offering innovative, clean, and affordable solutions that are transforming the landscape of commercial real estate.I’m proud of the journey that’s brought me here, and I remain committed to delivering transformative, cutting-edge solutions that benefit both clients and the communities we serve.

    For the last decade I have been an educator and social-do-good-er. I've worked with numerous non-profits and individuals around the world with the desire to make the world a little better. Since moving back to the Twin Cites in 2011, I have committed to putting down roots and contributing to my community. From helping clients through the sale of a home they've owned for 30 years, to assisting buyers through the first time process it has been an honor to help so many in such an important transition in life.
