Marelli Leases Former Federal Mogul Space for North American HQ

Automotive supplier Marelli signed a multi-year lease to relocate its North American headquarters to Southfield, MI. The company will occupy nearly 200,000 square feet of the former Federal Mogul building at 26555 Northwestern Hwy.

The three-story building, which has been vacant since 2015, is undergoing extensive renovations. Marelli is leasing the property from locally-based Dembs Development, which purchased the building in 2017 from a New York-based investment company.

Marelli currently has two locations in Auburn Hills, MI and one in Farmington Hills, MI. The company plans a staggered move-in to begin late this year.

“While it’s important for us to be in close proximity to our automotive clients, it’s just as important to ease the transition for our employees,” said Marelli SVP Gene Spektor. “Our new location will have minimal impact on the average commute, and will provide employees with a modern, open and collaborative work environment.”
