TROY, MI-Bob Katzman, a partner in the Burton-Katzman Development Co., wants to build a 13-story, 325,000-sf office building at the northwest corner of I-75 and Big Beaver Road in this city. The building would go up on 5.5 acres of land the company recently purchased from Magna International Inc., a Canadian automotive supplier.

Magna built a facility on part of the land, but did not need the entire parcel.Burton-Katzman paired with Sterling Bank and Trust of Southfield to buy theland. Now, Katzman tells GlobeSt.com, he just has to convince the Troy city council that another large office building is needed along Big Beaver Road.

The recently-purchased land is across the street from the 26-story Top of Troy building, the largest building in the city, and is surrounded by the most office development in Southeast Michigan, including Kirco’s 500,000-sf Columbia Center I and II about a half mile east of the site, and Kojaian Cos.’ recently opened Troy Corporate Center two miles to the north.
