QStride will have access to high-speed internet provider Rocket Fiber and the new M-1 RAIL which is expected to be fully operational next year.

Downtown Detroit is the place to be for technology companies across the board and an ideal environment for QStride to attract top talent and continue to grow for years to come.

Built in 1962, the 29-story One Woodward Building was the first skyscraper designed by Yamasaki, best known as the architect of the World Trade Center in New York City. The Mid-Century Modern style building is located at the gateway to Woodward Avenue at Jefferson Avenue, across from Hart Plaza, Detroit’s riverfront park. One Woodward is now 100% occupied.

QStride’s new headquarters, designed by Detroit-based interior design firm dPOP!, are within walking distance to numerous restaurants and retailers including: Townhouse, Roasting Plant, Central Kitchen + Bar, Moosejaw, John Varvatos, House of Pure Vin and many more. In addition, international retailers Nike and Kit + Ace are expected to open a few blocks away on Woodward Avenue during 2016, along with Avalon International Breads.
