About The Palms Building

modern style,
historic space

The Palms Building offers a unique blend of intricate detail, historic charm, and modern function. With open floorplans and ample natural light, the Palms’ move-in ready and build-to-suit office spaces have been thoughtfully updated for the modern office environment. The building’s premier central location is unmatched, providing tenants with easy access to everything Downtown Detroit has to offer.

With exceptional views up and down Woodward Avenue, the Palms Building combines historic character with modern convenience. Offering suites that range in size from 500 - 6,000 sq. ft., the Palms is the perfect home for companies of any size.

The Palms Building was added to the National Register of Historic Places shortly after being purchased by the Forbes family in 1984.

The Details

Built in 1925, the Palms Building is named for Francis Palms – a Belgian native who moved to Detroit in 1832 and made his fortune in real estate development. Palms’ descendents constructed the building at a time when Detroit’s population, and the popularity of the cinema, was booming.

The grand first-floor theater was originally called the State Theatre and functioned as one of Detroit’s grandest movie houses. In 2007 the theater was renamed the Fillmore Detroit, and now functions as a multi-use entertainment venue operated by Live Nation.
