Dearborn — Ford Motor Co. will relocate its world headquarters to the large, glass-faced Hub replacing its Product Development Center west of Oakwood Boulevard, and demolish its existing Glass House headquarters for outdoor community space.
The short move down the road comes amid a historic transformation in the industry from electrification, autonomy and digital services. Putting leadership, administrative staff and product development teams under one roof seeks to make Ford a more nimble and efficient operation, effective at attracting and retaining the talent sought by Ford and competing rivals like General Motors Co., Silicon Valley tech firms and other global innovators.
