The Quicken Loans business juggernaut continues to attract more businesses to downtown Detroit, recently recruiting Facility Matrix Group and Rehmann to open up offices in the Motor City's Central Business District.
"I believe now is the time to be in Detroit," says David Daugherty, president of
Facility Matrix Group. "There is a vibe in Detroit that I have never experienced before."
Facility Matrix Group will move into the Madison Theatre Building, which owned by
Quicken Loans chairman Dan Gilbert, overlooking Grand Circus Park. The contract furniture dealer has been in business since 1934 and employs about 30 people with a couple of interns. About five of those will occupy the new Detroit office.
"Now is a great time to be in Detroit," Daugherty says. "I firmly believe in its resurgence."
Rehmann is one of the largest accounting, consulting and financial services firms in the Midwest. It has signed a lease for space in the Dime Building where a handful of its 650 U.S. employees will work.
