Pontiac Redevelopment Project Partners
Oakland County has assembled a team of key partners to help revitalize the historic downtown of the city of Pontiac, including: the county, State of Michigan and the City of Pontiac. To complete the project, the county has hired: the Farbman Group and Facilinet Services, Inc. as owner’s representatives; HED, Design Workshop and Spalding DeDecker architecture for engineering and urban planning; Granger for construction management; Adamo for the demolition of the Phoenix Center; and Endeavour Pontiac Partners to develop two parking decks and downtown site improvements.
AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm providing comprehensive services in planning, design, and engineering. In Michigan, AECOM’s Novi office—as part of a joint venture—secured a $2.7 million construction management contract with Oakland County to support the transformative Pontiac Redevelopment Project, building on its regional experience with major infrastructure and transit initiatives across the state. AECOM hired Sidewalk Detroit to provide community engagement services with the residents and city of Pontiac.
