The accounting firm PwC, perhaps better known as PricewaterhouseCooper, announced today they're negotiating to lease 70,000 square feet of office space for 650 employees in the One Detroit Center building downtown. PwC currently maintains their Detroit office in a building behind Ford Field.
Besides signaling its faith and commitment to an exciting and invigorating part of the city's center, PwC sought out the building to implement a new firm strategy for its work environment.
"We're building out the space to leverage the firm's new model of office design, which includes a modern and open floor plan to enhance team collaboration and client delivery," Breen said. "This will be aided by advanced media sharing technologies and digital media distribution throughout the workplace."
Leveraging...models...collaboration...something...workplace...at any rate, PwC says they hope to complete negotiations and move into the space by the end of 2012.
Maybe they'll rename Comerica's former headquarters the PwC House. -- JW
