General Motors has confirmed plans to relocate its Detroit headquarters to a new downtown office building next year and undertake the redevelopment of its current home along the Detroit River. The announcement was made at the site of the old Hudson’s department store, where a new tower and 12-story office building are being constructed by the Bedrock real estate firm to house GM.
GM, Bedrock, the city, and Wayne County will collaborate on ideas to revamp the seven-building Renaissance Center, the company's current world headquarters. GM CEO Mary Barra emphasized that the move to a modern office space in the heart of the city will enhance the company's ability to attract talent in the future. The new location, situated about a mile north of the Renaissance Center, aims to provide a workspace that aligns with contemporary work styles.
