According to SLDC records posted online, the agency paid $20,000 in grant money to the not-for-profit group Urban Pyramids, which lists a suite in this building in the 3300 block of Union Boulevard as its headquarters. Other tenants in the building say the space is empty and no one uses it. The building is seen on Thursday, Oct. 24, 2024.
