Cadillac Says HQ Will Not Move Back To Detroit - NYC To Stay

It makes no difference where Cadillac is located, so moving it back would waste as much money as was wasted moving it in the first place.

Cadillac need to make great vehicles.

Indeed - in today's world - where you are located is almost meaningless - you are milliseconds away from contact.

By now - the people who moved to NY and the new NY employees are in place - to move them again is just another cost. Until NYC makes commuting to the Cadillac office impossible - it may as well live out its lease.

They will move back once the office lease is up and once the high costs of NYC add to the Tomfoolery of this stupid idea (and I live in NY).

How can a car company thrive in a place where the majority of employees, bike or take the subway to work.

By the way, to quote..."GM nearly four years ago moved Cadillac's headquarters from Detroit to the 15th and 16th floors of a high-rise office building at 330 Hudson St. in the trendy lower Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo."

From "THE REAL DEAL"..."330 Hudson Street is a 16-story, 467,000 sq ft office building in the Hudson Square area of lower Manhattan. It was built in 1910 and later completely renovated in 2011 by then owner Beacon Capital Partners. In 2014, Montreal pension fund Ivanhoé Cambridge bought a 49 percent stake in the tower with its partner Callahan Capital Partners. "

Floors are 30,000 sq ft gross, 20,000 sq ft net, and Cadillac seems to have two of them. How many Cadillac employees can fit into 20,000 ft? At 175/ft/person that works out to 228 employees.

All this hub-bub about "moving Cadillac to NYC" is BS - they moved 200 or 300 people tops.

Typo..."How many Cadillac employees can fit into 40,000 ft over the two floors? At 175/ft/person that works out to about 400 employees, max.

40k / 175 = 230ish

From what I've read, the move to New York was decided before de Nysschen even began. I know people were blaming him for the move, but it doesn't sound like that's accurate.

Honestly, who gives a crap? This brand is dying a slow death regardless based on years of mismanagement.

Very true and decisive action is needed to take it back to core values.

You’re wrong, while it doesn’t actually have to be Manhattan, the location needs to be in metro NY or the Northeast. VW pulled out of Auburn Hills years ago to an equally expensive DC -Dulles corridor

That fact of the matter is that 70% of the upscale luxury cars are sold in the northeast, Florida or California. The mindset of those geographic location is far different than that of the Detroit area period. That is biggest mistake that Marcchione made with Maserati, instead of Alfa Romeo’s North American headquarters to north jersey with Maserati and Ferrari using the staffing of Italians that lived in North America for years and experienced luxury car personnel that came from Jaguar. Land Rover, BMW or Mercedes all then located in metro nyc.

Instead they moved Maserati to Auburn Hills with Alfa and Staffed it with Chrysler personnel that don’t have a clue about how to do upscale cars.

Cadillac's new boss like NYC better. There are more prostitutes there.
