Ground-up defense campus built for speed, security, and mission-ready production.
KIRCO MANIX broke ground in April 2025 on a new Office and Light Assembly campus for Saab, a leading global defense company, in Grayling, Michigan. The site features three main buildings totaling 81,000 SF, along with up to 29 explosive storage bunkers and a fully fenced perimeter with 24/7 security.
Due to the site being located on land owned by the Department of Natural Resources, the project required additional approvals and two comprehensive environmental assessments to ensure full regulatory compliance. Completion is anticipated in July 2026.
The project has received several state grants to aid in its development. Notably, the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) has provided funding to ensure a strong workforce in the area, and the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has contributed to the road extension.
