Corporate Governance
On November 12, 2007, Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert announced a development agreement with the city to move the company headquarters to downtown Detroit, consolidating suburban offices. The construction sites reserved for development by the agreement included the location of the former Statler on Grand Circus Park and the former Hudson's location.
Since 2009, Quicken has leased office space in the Compuware building facing Campus Martius Park in Detroit. The company also houses team members in Downtown Detroit’s First National Building, Chase Tower (aka “The Qube”) and Chrysler House (formerly the Dime Building) – all owned by Quicken Loans’ parent company, Rock Ventures.

Famous quotes containing the words corporate and/or governance:
“If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that—but that isn’t simple.”
—Louis B. Lundborg (1906–1981)
“He yaf me al the bridel in myn hand,
To han the governance of hous and land,
And of his tonge and his hand also;”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
