General Motors move headquarters from Ren Cen to Hudson's site in downtown Detroit

After 28 years at the Renaissance Center along the Detroit River, GM says it will relocate its global headquarters to Hudson’s Detroit in 2025, becoming the anchor tenant at Bedrock’s development on the historic site of the former J.L. Hudson Department Store.

The government should have never bailed GM out. Out of the big 3, they were the ones that needed to go.

😮 no more GM logo on the ren cen will be weird!

It sounds like they do not have a plan. This is not a good sign. Stellantis fires 1600 Engineers and now GM does this. 😮

Absolute surprise! My grandfather actually worked in that building when he worked for General Motors.

The office towers became redundant with covid and remote work. Renewal is constant as is change but not the changes. Imagine commuting by elevator or stairwell. Buildings get repurposed all the time

What a failure GM has been over the years. Now they got that big abandoned failure of a building as a trophy and a female running the show. Great more EV trucks right?

Smart move

Can’t depreciate that old building anymore

RenCen needs a revival even more of mixed use space. I.e. housing, retail. I suspect the plumbing issues aren't as much of a challenge as say remediation of now hazardous materials as most buildings from that area contain asbestos in the form of spray on insulation. I could be wrong but there are plenty of towers in downtown Calgary sitting vacant for this reason including the Nexen Tower...

Honestly this is a perfect opportunity to adjust to the decline in office towers and find some other use that will be relevant in the future. A huge mall, fitness center, civic center, and tons of other things

Ford should take over at the Renaissance thats a timeless building, Chrysler should have a presence downtown also

[cortezmiller]

I was going to say make the Renaissance a whole hotel with more rooms. Said that the city needs more hotel space. But mentioned in the video that plumbing issues will be a problem.

[smithterrance]

It stays and it's not going nowhere I don't know why want to remove the Renaissance center smh

[wolfiethedog]

The Ren Cen is a pain to navigate around in ....

[ronnie]

This is a warning sign. General Motors is not doing good

[mrpeel]

So moves GM, so goes GM! 😅 Pa how about turning the REN into affordable housing!!

[greggreg]

They should build a massive casino in the old GM building and call it Sin City😮

[tristanharshman]

Its not a car manufacturer anymore its "shareholder"?

[hillbillyinpa]

GM seems intent on driving itself into the ground. The true GM building on West Grand was filled with class. Sad to see this once great company decline into this mess.

[damoncampbell]

Built by Ford in 70s, GM moved in in the 90s, another abandoned building in the 20s or 30s?

i love how they claim covid was the problem with employees not returning to work and won't acknowledge the ev's are a total flop and they put a ton of money into a dead horse so layed tons of folks off
