Corporate Team Building Solutions in Detroit
Detroit’s office map runs from the financial district downtown out to Dearborn, where Ford keeps its world headquarters, and Auburn Hills, home to Stellantis North America. Add Southfield, where more than 100 Fortune 500 companies keep office space — Rocket Companies and Ally Financial are two of the bigger downtown names, but the same buildings hold law firms, retailers, and nonprofits too. Huntington Place, the city’s convention center, hosts the Detroit Auto Show each January, so downtown meeting space gets tighter that month. Outback has run team building for teams of every kind across Metro Detroit, and we’ll help you manage the planning. With Outback, you’ll get:
- Self-hosted, virtual, or fully facilitated events, indoors or out
- Scalable team building activities designed to meet your goals
- Local know-how with a national operation behind it

THE PAYOFF
Why Detroit is Great for Team Building
The practical reasons Detroit works when you need to get a team together.
-
Easy to Get Everyone There
Metro Detroit’s tri-county area, Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb, puts most of the region within reach of downtown, so pulling in a team from anywhere nearby doesn’t mean a long haul.
-
Works Any Season
Belle Isle Park and the Detroit RiverWalk work well outdoors when the weather cooperates. Downtown venues and virtual formats cover the rest of the year.
-
Venues for Any Group Size
A downtown boardroom or Huntington Place’s 623,000 square feet of exhibit space, and everything in between.
-
A City You Can Move Through
Greektown sits less than half a mile from the riverfront, and downtown’s public squares, Campus Martius and Hart Plaza, are built for exactly this kind of thing.
-
Somewhere to Celebrate After
Greektown’s restaurants and Hollywood Casino, or The District Detroit around Little Caesars Arena, are close by when the event wraps.
