Chrysler to Expand Detroit Plant with 285,000-SF Addition
Aug 15, 2008

Chrysler L.L.C. has announced that it will develop a 285,000-square-foot building at its Jefferson North Assembly Plant in Detroit as part of its planned $1.8 billion investment in new vehicle programs. The facility will replace an existing body shop at the 2.7 million-square-foot campus. The Jefferson North Plant, developed in 1991, was previously expanded in 1999. The current expansion project will also encompass the upgrading of other buildings on the site. Green elements will be incorporated into the development of the new facility, as well as the renovated spaces in an effort to reduce the company's environmental footprint in the area. Chrysler anticipates completing the expansion endeavor in 2010.
