Blue Care Network moving 500 workers to Detroit from Southfield

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's HMO subsidiary, the Blue Care Network, is relocating its headquarters from Southfield to Detroit.The relocation will entail moving more than 500 Blue Care Network employees to Blue Cross' Jefferson Building, 441 E. Jefferson, in downtown, Blue Cross CEO Daniel Loepp told the Free Press in a statement Friday.
The Blue Care Network will depart the Southfield office building at 20500 Civic Center Drive, where it has been headquartered. Once the relocation is completed, more than 5,900 Blue Cross employees will be "assigned" to the health insurer's Detroit campus, which includes the Jefferson Building, the Blue Cross headquarters building at 600 E. Lafayette Blvd. and leased space in the Renaissance Center.

Some Blue Cross workers follow "hybrid" work arrangements and do not visit an office every day.

Definitely a plus however it does say they will be leaving Ren Cen tower 600 when the lease expires, moving elsewhere downtown. That's a lot more empty space for the Ren Cen to deal with.

I would not be surprised if they be one of the first tenants to move into The Block on the Hudsons site

The lease expires end of 2026 so you're saying 2027 will be the first tenants?

It's a good time form Blue Cross to move to Gilbert Town Detroit. Now how to re-fill Gilbert Town Detroit Buildings?

How long before one [[or more) of the Ren Cen towers goes residential?

Good news though.

I could see 22 story 500 and 600 Ren Cen going residential. It might really help the retail area in the main buildings podium.

Yeah with no open windows to let the fresh air in.
