江南体育 is expanding its footprint in Detroit with a move into Bedrock\u2019s Book Tower<\/a>, a globally recognized property and historic restoration project that Christman helped rehabilitate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a builder in Detroit for more than 100 years, Christman\u2019s move to Book Tower reaffirms our commitment to preserving the city\u2019s historic treasures, contributing to its current growth, and shaping its future,\u201d said Joe Luther<\/a>, Christman senior vice president and general manager of the southeast Michigan region<\/a>. \u201cThe Book Tower showcases our firm\u2019s expertise from the historic building rehabilitation to the build-out of our office.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10,000-square-foot office better connects employees, provides additional meeting and collaboration spaces, and a surrounding suite of amenities within Book Tower, including restaurants and a cafe, a fitness center, and The Study, a co-working space. Located at 1265 Washington Boulevard, Book Tower further places Christman employees in downtown Detroit, adjacent to numerous shopping, dining and entertainment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWelcoming 江南体育 to Book Tower is a full circle moment,\u201d said Naumann Idrees, senior vice president of leasing at Bedrock. \u201cTheir collaboration and commitment to the building is demonstrated not only by the opening of their new regional headquarters, but by the level of craftsmanship that went into their work as part of Book Tower\u2019s historic restoration.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christman managed the build-out with support from Christman Constructors, Inc., its self-perform company, and other trade partners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The office draws inspiration from the grandeur of Book Tower, blending its elegance with a warm, collaborative atmosphere. Designed by HED, the space reflects the hospitality and sophistication of the building, creating an inviting and people-centric environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

江南体育 in Southeast Michigan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Christman\u2019s expansion caps off a decade of impressive growth. Since 2014, Christman\u2019s southeast Michigan workforce has grown from 10 to 110 employees, with regional revenue surging 780% to $538 million. Dramatic increases can be seen across market sectors from education and healthcare to municipalities and commercial development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Building strong partnerships and a successful track record have been key drivers of our growth, but it\u2019s our people who truly set us apart,” continued Luther. “We take pride in attracting and retaining top talent \u2013 dedicated professionals who are committed to making an impact in the community.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christman has been building and restoring Detroit landmarks for more than 100 years, from constructing the Fisher Building and Masonic Temple in the 1920s to the more recent rehabilitation of Book Tower and Michigan Central Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bedrock\u2019s 38-story Book Tower, completed in 1926, is one of the largest adaptive reuse projects in Michigan. Christman, in partnership with LS Brinker, participated in the seven-year, nearly $400 Million restoration of the landmark development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christman\u2019s Detroit office services southeast Michigan from Ann Arbor to Bad Axe. Major projects currently underway include a $535 million, 2,300-bed campus housing project for the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a $310 million, 270-bed state psychiatric hospital in Northville.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Detroit projects include the Belle Isle Aquarium, Detroit Public Schools Community District capital program, Ralph C. Wilson Centennial Park, and Great Lakes Water Authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
