Cardell Corporation

When the Cardell Corporation sought to build a corporate campus in Oakland County, they had difficulty finding a suitable piece of land available for development. But Cunningham-Limp used its real estate expertise to work out an innovative agreement with the City of Auburn Hills that resulted in a beautiful complex for Cardell, and a challenging municipal golf course for the people of Auburn Hills.

Seeing the perfect opportunity to help Cardell while benefiting an Oakland County community, Cunningham-Limp purchased the Arrowhead Golf Course and then divided the land between Cardell and the City of Auburn Hills. We not only developed the master plan for an attractive corporate campus, but designed and built the four new buildings that would become the Cardell Corporation’s new home.

Cunningham-Limp also invited world-renowned golf course designer Arthur Hills to lay out a beautiful new municipal course. Now rated as one of the top municipal golf courses in the Midwest, Fieldstone Golf Club is enjoyed (and cursed) by golfers from Auburn Hills and beyond.

TRW Automotive

In order to take advantage of certain Michigan tax benefits, TRW Automotive found themselves under a tight deadline for relocating their world headquarters from Cleveland, Ohio to Livonia, Michigan. As a regional leader in both real estate and construction, with an excellent track record for meeting tight deadlines, Cunningham-Limp was the perfect choice for facilitating the move.

TRW Automotive, the world leader in vehicle safety systems and components, wished to sell their current headquarters building, along with over 100 acres of surrounding land. They also required that a new headquarters building be constructed in Livonia, and that it reflect TRW’s commitment to quality and innovation.

Cunningham-Limp brought its expertise to the situation, quickly developing solutions in both states. We used our extensive resources to buy TRW’s Cleveland building and surrounding land, relieving TRW of this burden and leasing the space to the company until it could relocate. In Michigan, Cunningham-Limp secured an ideal property in Livonia and built a state-of-the-art 120,000 square foot world headquarters. All this was accomplished under the accelerated deadline, allowing TRW Automotive to claim millions of dollars in tax benefits, and creating over 150 new jobs in Michigan.
