President Trump Promotes Detroit in State of the Union

During last week’s State of the Union address President Trump referenced the resurgence of the Detroit auto industry. Detroit has a rebounding commercial property market, and expanding tech sector and a auto industry that has overcome recent challenges to grow and expand in new and exciting ways.

Said President Trump, “Many car companies are now building and expanding plants in the United States — something we have not seen for decades. Chrysler is moving a major plant from Mexico to Michigan; Toyota and Mazda are opening up a plant in Alabama. Soon, plants will be opening up all over the country. This is all news Americans are unaccustomed to hearing — for many years, companies and jobs were only leaving us. But now they are coming back.”

New Growth Create Real Estate Opportunities

Not only is the the Detroit auto industry expanding and producing new and exciting vehicles it is also attracting a new generation of auto manufacturing and related technology companies. As new companies fuel new growth in the local economy this will certainly create many new opportunities in the real estate markets.
