Overview
- Employees began moving in Monday to roughly 200,000 square feet across the top four floors of a new 12‑story tower developed by Bedrock on the former J. L. Hudson site.
- The offices house executives and corporate teams such as finance, legal, marketing and communications with open workstations, hoteling, and only a handful of permanently assigned executive offices.
- The design draws on Eero Saarinen’s GM Global Technical Center, with mid‑century forms, natural materials and Gensler‑led interiors that link heritage to current identity.
- Artifacts and installations include patent wallpapers, scale models, a recovered Harry Bertoia sculpture, sound‑wave art and a cassette‑wall of songs referencing GM, alongside a soon‑to‑open Entrance One showroom and shared amenities like a café, fitness space and pickleball.
- GM cites a $29 billion contribution to Michigan’s economy in 2024 and $17.3 billion invested over the past decade, as discussions progress with Bedrock on proposed Renaissance Center redevelopment that would reduce its footprint and open new riverfront public space.
