Corporate & Regional Headquarters
Many of the region's leading organizations, and customers, are headquartered in Detroit. This opportunity to locate among a network of peers, competitors, customers and supporting service organizations offers businesses a great chance for growth.
Outside of the office, there are a number of active networking and social organizations for young professionals in Detroit such as Crain's Business Over Breakfast, Detroit Economic Club, and After5 Detroit.
In a 2008 survey, workers in the City of Detroit listed among its strengths the city's people, convenient location, and cultural and entertainment atmosphere. Over the past decade more than $15 billion has been invested in downtown Detroit. Amenities include three professional sports venues, art and history museums, orchestra and opera locations, three casinos, a state park, universities, and the RiverWalk.
A number of vibrant, close-knit downtown-adjacent neighborhoods attract young, highly-educated residents in addition to a number of recent residential developments within downtown.
