Sorensen Gross relocates headquarters to downtown Flint


Sorensen Gross Company announces the relocation of its headquarters to the Plaza One Building in downtown Flint, joining an existing satellite office and paving the way for future company growth.

 

The move, which occurred in stages, was largely completed by June 8. Sorensen Gross now occupies three suites on the first floor of the building and has 40 employees based at the location. The company's previous headquarters was on Torrey Road near Bishop International Airport. 


"Leaving a location that has served us well for 54 years is, to say the least, an emotional undertaking; it is however more than mitigated by the excitement of having our headquarters in downtown Flint, a place very dear to us and all our employees,” said Sorensen Gross CEO Ghassan M. Saab.
