GreenPath plans to build new HQ in Farmington Hills

GreenPath Debt Solutions is building a new headquarters in Farmington Hills not far from its existing headquarters on 12 Mile Road.The non-profit that specializes in financial counseling (think dealing with bankruptcy or foreclosure) plans to build the new structure so it can house the company’s 400 employees. That’s enough room to accommodate the organization’s expected growth for the foreseeable future.The 4-story building will be 125,000 square feet and sit on a 10.5-acre plot just east of Halstead on the south side of 12 Mile Road. It will house both the non-profit’s headquarters and call center, and will come complete with high ceilings to deaden noise and lots of natural light. GreenPath plans to go for LEED certification. Among the green features is the preservation of a two-acre wetland on the property. GreenPath has contracted Harley Ellis Devereaux to design the building and is in discussions with Steelcase to provide furnishings. Construction is set to begin in March and to take one year to complete.Source: Andrew K Johnson, communications and public relations manager for GreenPath Debt SolutionsWriter: Jon Zemke
