About Us
As they say in real estate, location is everything, which is why M1 Concourse was built right on historic Woodward Avenue in a location easily accessible from every Detroit suburb.
The 87-acre property sits at the northwest corner of Woodward Avenue and South Boulevard adjacent to Bloomfield Hills and is bounded by Woodward Avenue on the east and Franklin Road on the west. Major highways, including I-75 and M-59, have exits within a few miles of the property.
PROPERTY HISTORY
In 1908, a combination of Rapid, Reliance Motor Truck and Crescent Motors became General Motors Truck Co. During the decades GM owned the property, it was home to a variety of manufacturing plants and quality assurance facilities.
The facility was decommissioned in 2008 and all but one building on the property was demolished. In 2011, the property was transferred to the RACER Trust, which was created by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to position for redevelopment properties and other facilities owned by the former General Motors Corp. before its bankruptcy.
After the Environmental Protection Agency, State of Michigan, and City of Pontiac deemed the 87 acres fit for development, M1 acquired the land on August 6, 2014. The property has now been reconnected with its 100+ years of automotive history.
