General Motors, known as GM, has announced that it will relocate its global headquarters to Hudson’s Detroit in 2025. This move marks GM’s fourth headquarters location in the city since 1911, reaffirming its commitment to Detroit. GM will become the anchor tenant at Bedrock’s development on the site of the former J.L. Hudson Department Store. The company will also partner with Bedrock, the city of Detroit and Wayne County to explore redevelopment opportunities for the Renaissance Center site.
Hudson’s Detroit spans 1.5 million square feet. The development, comprised of a 12-story office building with event and retail space, will also feature ground-floor retail, a rooftop bar, a public plaza and parking. GM has entered into an initial 15-year lease for the top office floors of the building. An adjacent 45-story building will house a 5-star hotel and residential condominiums.
The new headquarters at Hudson’s Detroit will provide modern office space designed to meet the evolving needs of GM’s workforce. It will feature collaboration areas, executive offices and display space for GM vehicles. The move will also mark GM’s return to Woodward Avenue, where the company established its first headquarters in the city.
