They just bought it.

Probably a horrible idea to sell it now...unless they got it for a steal. I'm not familiar with downtown Detroit's real estate market.

Why didn't they move into a cheaper suburban office like nearly every other company seems to be doing? Do most of their employees live in downtown Detroit (or within a few miles of it)? Isn't Ford's HQ in a smaller building in Detroit's suburbs?

Hell, the only reason Halliburton's offices in Houston are where they are is because most of their executives live btw dowtown and uptown. I know my company locates their regional offices in the outer rings of cities to save money and to be closer to where their employees are more likely to live.
