GM to Open Electric Vehicle Parts Warehouse at Former American Motors Corp. Site in Detroit
General Motors (GM) is planning to open a warehouse for electric vehicle parts at the former American Motors Corp. site in Detroit. The warehouse will support GM’s nearby Factory Zero assembly plant and will be operated by Logistics Insight Corp., an affiliate of Universal Logistics Holdings Inc.
The 793,520-square-foot warehouse is scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2024. It will optimize the delivery, storage, and processing of parts and products for the production of electric vehicles, including the GMC Hummer EV, Chevrolet Silverado EV, and Cruise Origin.
The former American Motors Corp. site, previously home to GM, is being redeveloped by NorthPoint Development LLC. The construction project is supported by tax increment financing from the city and state brownfield incentives.
GM has not disclosed its investment in the warehouse, but the company has confirmed that it has not applied for local or state incentives. The warehouse will be similar to GM’s plans for the Palace of Auburn Hills site, where third parties will operate the facility.
GM’s Factory Zero plant is dedicated to electric vehicle production, while Orion Assembly is undergoing an electric conversion. GM is also building a battery plant near Lansing Delta Township Assembly.
