"This is a monumental moment for us, as our people are what make us a great company and this move is designed with them in mind," said Mat Ishbia, President/ CEO, UWM. "We want to continue to be a magnet for top talent in the area, and take being a national best place to work to a new level." 

The new headquarters will provide a number of physical amenities for the new UWM campus, including:

• Nearly 60 acres of campus
• Primary Care doctor's office

The move supports UWM's commitment to continued growth as one of the largest employers in the Metro Detroit region. Since 2010, the company's team member count has increased five times, going from 400 to 2,100.
