Quicken Loans to welcome 2,000 workers downtown
DETROIT (AP) -- About 2,000 Quicken Loans employees are expected move this week into the recently purchased Chase Tower in downtown Detroit.
The online retail mortgage lender said last Thursday in a release they will join 1,700 Quicken employees already working at the company's headquarters inside the Compuware Building.
Mayor Dave Bing and Quicken founder and chairman Dan Gilbert will welcome the new employees this morning. They'd been working in Quicken offices in the suburbs.
Gilbert has said about 4,000 of the online retail mortgage lender's workers eventually will have their offices in downtown Detroit.
Earlier this year, he completed acquisition of the 14-story Chase Tower.
The move is part of Gilbert's plan to help revitalize downtown. He says he wants other companies to join Quicken and software developer Compuware Corp. downtown.
