Farmington Hills, Michigan (October 31, 2014) – Friedman Integrated Real Estate Solutions, one of the nation’s leading providers of commercial real estate services, will be hosting an open house at noon on Monday, November 3rd at the newly renovated Arboretum Office Park in Farmington Hills.
Friedman was awarded the management, leasing and construction assignment of Arboretum Office Park earlier this year and has been busy making innovative, jaw-dropping improvements to the 432,000 square foot, four-building office complex. Located at 34405-34605 W. Twelve Mile Road along the desirable Twelve Mile corridor in Farmington Hills, one of Detroit’s premier submarkets, Arboretum Office Park boasts a 40-acre campus with a park-like atmosphere.
Arboretum Office Park is not your typical office complex. Far from it, in fact. Friedman has redesigned the entire office park, inside and out, transforming it into a state-of-the-art, high-tech, 21st century showplace. Every design detail has been carefully considered. Nothing was overlooked. The energy at Arboretum Office Park is literally palpable from the moment you step inside the fully remodeled lobbies. Expanded to add spacious seating areas, the lobbies incorporate new marble and ceramic tile, fieldstone accents, dramatic water features, as well as exotic trees and plantings. What makes Arboretum Office Park so special is that Friedman’s team masterfully created a high-end, urban environment in a prime suburban location with great accessibility, convenient and ample parking, and superior visibility along some of Metro Detroit’s most-travelled expressways.
One of 17 business parks in Farmington Hills, originally constructed in 1986, one unique feature of the park is its vast interior atriums, enlarged and redesigned to allow for collaboration, complete with music and wi-fi for use by tenants and visitors alike. Atriums and common areas have been renovated utilizing the latest materials in design and energy efficiency, such as new ceiling tiles and LED lighting. Spaces available for lease range from 1,000 to 350,000 square feet, with high-visibility signage facing I-696 for larger tenants. A corporate headquarters facility with prominent, eye-catching views from I-696 and Twelve Mile Road is also available.
Additional amenities include on-site management and security card access system, high-speed data, cable and fiber-optic cabling, state-of-the-art temperature control system, a beautiful courtyard accessible from multiple locations within the complex, and a full-service cafeteria and sundry shop. The new café eating area is accessible even when the café is closed. Cafeteria renovations should be completed by the end of the year.
Tenants couldn’t be happier with the office park’s new look and feel. IQense, LLC, a leading provider of integrated marketing solutions, recently leased 16,024 square feet of office space at 34405 W. Twelve Mile Road, Suite 300. “We decided to relocate to a more elegant, upscale building with a progressive landlord who was willing to invest in the upkeep of the building and who offered reasonable rental rates,” said Ram Rajagopalan, President of IQense. “As a marketing service company, we were very interested in finding a facility that positively reflected our creative and innovative culture. Arboretum Office Park offered that to our employees as well as our customers.” Rajagopalan added the availability of services such as phone and data from recognized providers who were already in the building, easily accessible location for customers, and an on-site management team also drew IQense to Arboretum Office Park. “The Friedman team is so easy to work with and very responsive.”
Arboretum Office Park’s newest tenant is Hyundai Rotem. The South Korean company which manufactures rolling stock, defense products and plant equipment is scheduled to move in on Monday, November 3rd, the same day as Friedman’s open house. Hyundai Rotem, a subsidiary of Hyundai Motor Group, will occupy almost 2,596 square feet of space at 34505 W. Twelve Mile Road, Suite 111.
Home to 6,000 businesses, including more than 75 Fortune 500 companies and 170 foreign-owned firms, the City of Farmington Hills has positioned itself as a sustainable economic heavyweight. With its close proximity to hotels, restaurants and shopping centers as well as accessibility to major highways and Detroit Metropolitan Airport, Farmington Hills is an extremely attractive option for any business. In recent years, the City of Farmington Hills has seen an increase in world-class businesses drawn to its region and has one of the lowest vacancy rates for corporate real estate in Oakland County.
“Our goal was to transform Arboretum Office Park into the most sought-after, full service, Class A office complex, not only in the Farmington Hills area, but in all of Oakland County,” said David Friedman, President & CEO. “The open house is an opportunity for us to showcase how we have successfully turned this property into one of the coolest, high-tech office environments in Metro Detroit.”
Run, don’t walk to Friedman’s open house on November 3rd. Brokers do not want to miss out on the opportunity to tour this incredible complex and see all that Arboretum Office Park has to offer. It is definitely a must-see!
