RoncelliRoncelli Continues its Detroit Presence at Guardian Building
 
Roncelli Inc., a Michigan-based construction company, will be celebrating its 50 th anniversary in 2016, and recently relocated its Detroit operations center to Suite 2440 in the historic Guardian Building, at 500 Griswold Street, Detroit, Michigan, 48226.
 
Roncelli's Detroit presence is led by Principal Gino Roncelli, representing three generations of Roncelli family ownership. "The commitment to our Detroit office demonstrates Roncelli's desire to be a part of the city's rebirth. As a Detroit resident myself, it serves to also strengthen our existence in the region," said Roncelli. The firm's Detroit office is not only focused on enhanced services to current Detroit clients, but also strengthens its attention on serving the City of Detroit, Wayne County and future public and private clients.
 
In addition to Gino Roncelli, Ehrlich Crain also joins the Detroit office. As Roncelli's business development and diversity leader, and having over 34 years of experience in the construction and development industry, Crain will lead Roncelli's efforts in strengthening the organization's Detroit client base, while adding value to the company's diversity program and related initiatives with the Michigan Minority Supplier Development Council. 
 
"Our decision to invest in the City of Detroit through this expansion is strategic and stems from the long and honored history of success that we proudly share with our Detroit-based clients and the City of Detroit," said Chairman Gary Roncelli. 
 
The Detroit office adds to Roncelli's list of locations that include its corporate headquarters in Sterling Heights, its Canadian operations center located in London, Ontario, and its Mexico operations center located in San Luis Potosi.
