Quicken Loans considers purchasing Chase Tower in downtown Detroit

Quicken Loans already made a big splash downtown Detroit when it moved a majority of its workers from the suburbs and into the Compuware Building last year.

Then, Dan Gilbert and company made more news earlier this year when they announced they'd be refurbishing the old Madison Theater Building near Grand Circus Park and moving workers in there.

Now, Quicken is reportedly considering buying the Chase Tower just across Campus Martius Park from Compuware. The 14-story Chase building, which hardly feels like a tower next to the nearby Guardian and Penobscot buildings, enjoys a sweet location downtown. It sits on Woodward just south of the park, and if filled with Quicken workers would inject a boost into the downtown scene. Stay tuned, Gilbert is also reportedly looking at other buildings in the area, most notably the First National Building just across Woodward. (More on the First National in the coming days.)

  1. Well, it would have been great for Quicken to have built a building for themselves to help revitalize another section of downtown. I worry that the employees in the Chase building will end up moving out to the 'burbs ending with a zero net gain.
    On the other hand, having more employees near the park will increase the community factor amongst downtown workers.

  2. True enough Maureen, although the plan that would make the most sense would be for Quicken to look at a building not currently occupied. There's too many vacant buildings to warrant building a new one.

    I wasn't sure what the occupancy status was at the Chase Tower. Any idea how many people work in there currently?

    I had to separate my 2600 printer from my computer a few days ago.
    When reconnected, there is now a loud whistling sound
    made by the printer. It still publishes, however the
    sound is extremely annoying. Any kind of concept what could cause this?

    made use of to recognize money that you might be
    attempting to scan into the application, and block it. I have actually never
    ever attempted it myself to see if this works, but it
