General Motors’ new world headquarters in Detroit showcases the automaker’s past and present with a display of a 1963 Chevrolet K20 pickup truck alongside the new Silverado EV. The office floors are adorned with artifacts and design nods reflecting GM’s history and innovation, creating a collaborative and modern work environment post-pandemic.

The new headquarters marks a significant shift from the towering Renaissance Center to a more functional space in downtown Detroit. GM’s reduced footprint in the new building emphasizes collaboration and flexibility in a post-pandemic work environment. The move symbolizes a departure from GM’s historically siloed culture towards a more open and modern workspace.

In addition to office areas and executive floors, GM’s new headquarters will feature a semi-public space with product displays, event hosting, social areas, lounges, and even a pickleball court. The building complex, owned by Dan Gilbert, will provide a modern and dynamic work environment for GM employees, reflecting the company’s culture and vision.

The new headquarters comes amidst Ford’s recent unveiling of a new global HQ in Dearborn. While Ford’s facility boasts more amenities and space, GM’s focus on functionality and collaboration aligns with its vision for a post-pandemic work environment. With an eye towards innovation and modernization, GM’s new headquarters represents a new chapter for the iconic automaker.
