DETROIT, MI-Southfield-based Farbman purchased DaimlerChrysler’s McGraw Glass plant near Interstate 94 in the city and plans to convert it into a manufacturing and distribution hub. The purchase price was not disclosed for the 900,000-sf plant, designed by architect Albert Kahn in 1936.

Farbman says it is spending $3 million to renovate the factory into a large industrial complex with more than 80 truck bays. “We’re working with light manufacturers, warehouse-users and food distributors to fill the space and continue to add jobs to the region’s economy,” says Andrew Farbman, president of the Farbman Group. “The plant has been well-maintained and offers tremendous power, overhead cranes and access to rail lines.”
