General Motors plans $200M EV parts plant at Palace of Auburn Hills site

General Motors Co. plans a $200 million plant and 1,000 new jobs on the former Palace of Auburn Hills site.


The project, set to be 1.1 million square feet covering about 87.3 acres of the former home of the Detroit Pistons, is expected to appear before the Auburn Hills Planning Commission on Wednesday. It would consist of 1.05 million square feet electric vehicle parts assembly and distribution space, plus about 50,000 square feet of office space, according to city documents.


It would serve the GM Orion Assembly property in Orion Township at 4555 Giddings Rd. That plant consists of 4.3 million square feet on 433 acres, currently producing Chevy Bolt EV and EUV, and Cruise AV. The official plant website says it is "positioning itself to support GM's goal to bring 30 new EVs to market globally by 2025."


The new building would have about 350 workers per shift, according to the city documents.
