Good news for downtown, Univision, formerly based in Troy, is now in the Penobscot building. Full press release: http://www.earthtimes.org/arti cles/show/news_press_release,1 55759.shtml Not Quicken-sized, but, add 12 to the worker count (plus 8 future hires!) | ||

"The Downtown Collection"?? First I've heard of that term... | ||

"The Downtown Collection" is the name that Farbman uses to market the Penobscot, First National, and Cadillac Tower. | ||

Yeah, I noticed that too. They're all nice buildings, but usually when people talk about the top 3 buildings it's the Penobscot, Guardian, and Fisher Building. | ||

The future of Michigan is going to be based on a few jobs, here, a few jobs there. Small business with its flexibility will be how we get job growth with good paying jobs. These few jobs here and there sometimes turn into companies like E-Prize that end up being a success and add growth and jobs. I know Univision is not a small business per say, but every addition of one job is something to cheer. | ||

Go Univision! You're right Bob. I think people get starry eyed when they see large corporations show interest (and it is a good thing to have them around) but the smaller firms have been the backbone of Downtown for so long. And, small firms don't get any credit. | ||

Univision locating closer to their highest concentration market can ONLY be a good thing. Izzadore, Your last line is a sorry truth pun. Kudos, even if you didn't plan it. Cheers! | ||

I know Univision is not a small business per say, but every addition of one job is something to cheer. I also think it's a good sign that corporations, like Univision, are choosing to locate their regional offices in the central city (like they do in every other metro) rather than the suburbs. *per se | ||

I think some of the far right crazies are going to protest outside the building asking to see the new employees 'papers'  |
