Gardner White is shaking up its corporate map, shifting its headquarters out of Warren and into the former Taubman Centers office campus on East Long Lake Road in Bloomfield Hills. The family-owned Michigan furniture chain plans to pull its executive and administrative teams under one roof there, in a building that long carried the Taubman name. The relocation lands in the middle of what has already been a fast-growth run for the retailer across the Midwest.
According to Crain's Detroit Business, the Warren headquarters is giving way to the Bloomfield Hills complex that once served as Taubman Centers' corporate home. Crain's reports that the move is meant to match Gardner White's expanding corporate footprint, following a stretch of new store openings and brand activity across Michigan and nearby states.
Where the New Headquarters Will Be
The new base will be the Taubman Office Center at 200 E. Long Lake Rd. in Bloomfield Hills, a three-story, Class A office building with roughly 158,374 square feet and about 410 surface parking spaces, according to commercial listing data. LoopNet details the floorplates and amenities that have long made the site function as a full-fledged corporate campus.
Why Gardner White Is Moving
Gardner White has been telegraphing a growth push this year, adding new stores and launching concepts such as GW HOME, and executives have framed that as a reason to tighten up and centralize corporate operations. A company release earlier this year, posted on PR Newswire, outlined nine new store openings and identified Warren as the headquarters as the retailer moves into new markets.
History and What It Means for Warren
Gardner White's Warren era began in 2022, when the company took over the former Art Van headquarters and warehouse complex. That conversion, which turned a large Warren site into Gardner White's flagship and distribution hub, was detailed by Furniture Today. With the Bloomfield Hills headquarters move now in play, the open question is whether the Warren property will remain in its current role or eventually be retooled yet again.
Next Steps
So far, public reporting on the shift has sketched out the broad strokes of the relocation but has not included detailed financial terms or a specific timetable for moving staff. Crain's Detroit Business provided the first local account of the deal. Local permitting, interior buildout work and a formal move schedule are expected to follow in the usual slow drip of corporate relocations.
For now, Gardner White and the property owner have not published a full calendar for the transition. The company maintains a press archive at Gardner White that carries its latest corporate statements, including updates on expansion plans. We will be watching municipal filings and future company releases closely to see how the Warren and Bloomfield Hills sites evolve from here.
