Little Caesars World Headquarters breaks ground in Detroit

Little Caesars and Olympia Development broke ground today on the $150 million, nine-story, 234,000 square foot, Little Caesars world headquarters expansion at the corner of Woodward Avenue and Columbia Street. Twenty-seven years after moving its headquarters from the suburbs to Detroit’s Fox Office Center, Little Caesars is more than doubling the size of its current campus in Detroit to accommodate the company’s global growth and hiring.

Yes, there will be 14-foot-tall glass slices facing Woodward.

The building should be ready sometime in 2018.

The design and workplace amenities were determined by work groups of employees and architects to ensure a flexible work environment to increase employee engagement, communication, and productivity.
