CEO of York Business Centre, Inc. (YBC), Mohinder S. Gosal gave the go-ahead signal in March 2000 for interested parties to acquire a part of one of the last large commercial development sites in the heart of Surrey, BC., Canada (pictured below). Speaking at a Press Release on another YBC commercial complex just 2 blocks west of the current Business Park, Gosal stated, “the response has been phenomenal; with flexible zoning in place, the property is appropriate for a wide range of possibilities, including: office, limited retail, and wholesale/distribution.
