Ford Demolishes ‘Glass House’ HQ for New 2.1 Million Sq. Ft. Tech Hub

Ford Motor Company is moving its headquarters for the first time in nearly 70 years. The company is relocating from its iconic “Glass House” in Dearborn, Michigan. That 1956 building will soon be demolished. Ford is moving to a new, state-of-the-art facility nearby.

The new 2.1 million square-foot headquarters is called the “Hub.” It is designed to be a center for innovation. The new building will hold up to 4,000 employees. It is twice the size of the old headquarters. This move is part of Ford’s larger “Ford+ transformation” plan. The goal is to compete better with modern tech rivals.

The new design focuses on collaboration. It brings engineering, design, and technology teams together. It features six design studios and a large food hall. This setup is meant to speed up product development. The project also targets sustainability. The new facility is designed to be 100% emissions-free. This signals Ford’s commitment to a forward-looking future.
