It’s a slow process, but downtown Detroit is steadily attracting new businesses as the city’s rebound continues.
The latest example? One of the biggest accounting firms in the country just announced that it will set up shop in one of downtown Detroit’s key office buildings.
Plante Moran, a certified public accounting and business advisory firm, earlier this month announced that it is opening an office in Detroit in the city’s Compuware building.
And company officials said that they are excited to be part of the rebuilding efforts in this key Midwest city.
“We are very pleased to be joining other businesses who have committed to the city of Detroit,” said Gordon Krater, Plante Moran’s managing partner, in a written statement. “There is an excitement and vitality about the city. Good things are happening, and we are proud to be a part of it.”
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing, also in a written statement, added, “This is great news for the city of Detroit. This is another example of the business community’s commitment to transforming our city.”
The new office will be home to about 75 staffers, and will occupy 15,000 square feet on the third floor of the Compuware building.
The Detroit office will be the firm’s seventh office in southeast Michigan, joining the company’s offices in Ann Arbor, Auburn Hills, Flint, Macomb and two in Southfield.
The official move-in date for the Detroit office is scheduled for the fall.
