KIRCO MANIX completed a 350,000-square-foot renovation for American Axle Manufacturing in Detroit, converting a vacant 80-year-old plant into a $30 million Advanced Technology Development Center. The facility now supports R&D, advanced manufacturing, IT, gear development, and prototype operations.
The project included a full interior rebuild with open offices, glass partitions, and restored historic façade elements. Work required asbestos and lead abatement as well as phased construction to maintain adjacent headquarters operations.
Plant 6 Project: KIRCO MANIX will soon begin an additional project which will transform a long-vacant facility into a 54,000 SF modern office headquarters for American Axle’s newly acquired Metaldyne division, accommodating 300 employees.
