The longtime U.S. home base for Japanese auto supplier Nippon Seiki North America has changed hands in Troy, with the company selling its corporate headquarters at 600 Wilshire Drive for $10.5 million. The two-story office campus sits just off the I-75 and West Big Beaver Road interchange and has served for years as the firm's American operations hub.
According to CoStar, the buyer is a private investment group, and the sale price works out to roughly $91 per square foot. CoStar reports the site covers more than 10 acres and that the new owner plans to hold the property as part of its investment portfolio.
Deal details and property history
Commercial listing data show the property totals about 115,036 square feet and hit the market late last year with an asking price of $11.85 million. The listing on PropertyShark highlights lab and testing areas, a two-story glass atrium, and an external testing garage that reflect the building's long-running automotive focus.
Why Troy still draws buyers
Troy's Big Beaver corridor remains one of suburban Detroit's most scrutinized office stretches, where public improvement efforts and splashy redevelopment pitches keep investors circling. City records indicate the Troy Downtown Development Authority has set aside funding for upgrades along Big Beaver, and the former Kmart world headquarters site is the subject of a major mixed-use proposal covered by the Detroit Free Press, signaling ongoing private interest in the area. As outlined in City of Troy documents, the corridor continues to attract both public dollars and sizable private projects.
About Nippon Seiki in Troy
Nippon Seiki's corporate information lists 600 Wilshire Drive as the address for its North American unit, a supplier of instrument clusters and other automotive electronics. The company's contact details are tied directly to the Troy site, underscoring that the property has functioned as more than a simple leased office for U.S. operations. Nippon Seiki's corporate page shows the Troy location as the company's stateside presence.
What comes next
For now, public reports identify the purchaser only as a private investment group, and there is no word yet on future tenants or any redevelopment plans. Transfer and deed filings at the Oakland County Register of Deeds are expected to spell out the buyer's formal name and related documents once recording is complete. Until then, the deal stands as another example of investors selectively betting on suburban office campuses around metro Detroit.
