Ford Motor headquarters move Dearborn.

Ford is moving its headquarters for the first time in seven decades. The carmaker is relocating to a newly constructed building 3 miles away in its longtime home of Dearborn, Michigan. The new 2.1-million-square-foot structure formally will be called Ford World Headquarters when it opens in November. Ford’s current headquarters is colloquially called “The Glass House.” It opened in 1956. The new HQ is 5 to 10 minutes away. It is designed to enhance collaboration and innovation by colocating corporate leadership with design and engineering teams. It places 14,000 employees within a 15-minute walk of the main building.
