QStride will continue to enhance this process at its new downtown Detroit headquarters with a software application development center supporting industry leading technologies such as business intelligence, analytics, data warehousing and web application development.
“We are thrilled to welcome QStride to downtown Detroit. Their new location is next door to Amazon’s new regional downtown Detroit office, just a few blocks from Lear‘s new innovation and design center, the headquarters of online financial news startup Benzinga, and numerous others. QStride will have access to high-speed internet provider Rocket Fiber and the new M-1 RAIL which is expected to be fully operational next year. It is clear that Woodward has quickly become one of the nation’s most innovative technology districts,” said Dan Mullen, Executive Vice President of Bedrock Real Estate Services. “Downtown Detroit is the place to be for technology companies across the board and an ideal environment for QStride to attract top talent and continue to grow for years to come.”
Built in 1962, the 29-story One Woodward Building was the first skyscraper designed by Yamasaki, best known as the architect of the World Trade Center in New York City. The Mid-Century Modern style building is located at the gateway to Woodward Avenue at Jefferson Avenue, across from Hart Plaza, Detroit’s riverfront park. One Woodward is now 100% occupied.
QStride’s new headquarters, designed by Detroit-based interior design firm dPOP!, are within walking distance to numerous restaurants and retailers including: Townhouse, Roasting Plant, Central Kitchen + Bar, Moosejaw, John Varvatos, House of Pure Vin and many more. In addition, international retailers Nike and Kit + Ace are expected to open a few blocks away on Woodward Avenue during 2016, along with Avalon International Breads.
