-Historic Detroit Building to be Transformed into Unique Entrepreneurial Hub for Tech-Based Start-up Companies-

DETROIT, January 26, 2011 – Madison Theatre Building LLC, a new partnership formed by Dan Gilbert, Founder and Chairman of Detroit-based Quicken Loans Inc., announced it has completed the purchase of the historic Madison Building, located at 1555 Broadway Street in downtown Detroit. The building was originally designed by architect C. Howard Crane and constructed in 1917 as part of the Madison Theater complex.

The building will be converted to an exciting, open, colorful space designed to encourage partnership among local entrepreneurs and their budding projects and companies. The building’s two street level tenants – Angelina Italian Bistro and Stub Hub – will remain open for business, while the upper floors are being renovated.

“Detroit 2.0 is well on its way,” said Gilbert. “The Madison building project is another step in the WEBward Avenue vision for a technology and web centered corridor of growth and activity up and down Woodward Avenue in the heart of downtown Detroit. This historic building will be molded into an exciting center where young entrepreneurial enterprises will collaborate, innovate and build the kind of 21st century businesses that the majority of our new economy in Detroit and Michigan will be based upon.”

The Madison Building project is the most recent milestone in a series of meaningful moves announced by the Quicken Loans family of companies since last year when the nation’s largest online home lender moved its headquarters and 1,700 of its team members to downtown Detroit and subsequently, announced that the following additional related companies would also be joining its flagship downtown:

One Reverse Mortgage LLC, the nation’s third largest retail provider of reverse mortgage home loans;
Quizzle LLC, a free online tool that helps consumers better manage their home, money and credit;
Fathead LLC, the leading brand in sports and entertainment graphic products (move to be completed summer 2011);
In-House Realty LLC, the preferred real estate partner of Quicken Loans Inc., its clients, and its partner companies (move to be completed summer 2011);

The new partnership will work with Gensler, a global architectural firm with offices in Detroit, and with Sachse Construction to design and build the dynamic and creative space, which the Quicken Loans family of companies has become known. The design phase is currently underway and construction will begin in the spring and is expected to be completed by fall of this year.

The Madison Building purchase announcement follows on the heels of news that two other landmark buildings – the David Whitney Building and the Broderick Tower – have received financing for restoration and renovation.
